Translating the U.S. International Cyber Strategy Into Action
It is important to establish what the strategy is not. It is not a cybersecurity plan, but rather a broad set of prescriptions relating to the Internet and information more generally. At its core, the Obama administration has enunciated a policy that places primary emphasis on the Internet as a going, growing and global concern.

Cybersecurity: Protect the Internet, but How?
Since late last year, members of the U.S. Congress have introduced no less than 34 different bills dealing with information security and Internet policy.

If there is one lesson we should have learned from 9/11 regarding intelligence collection and analysis, it is that the national intelligence bureaucracy's "need to know" bias should be replaced with a cultural emphasis on the "need to share." That's why it is alarming to hear that the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) has decided to shut down uGov, a webmail system for the IC and those who need to work with it on a regular basis.

Time to Move Toward a More Secure Cyberspace
For a variety of reasons, over the last several months the issue of cyber security has been prominently covered in the U.S. news media. But for more than a decade, the vulnerability of networked computer systems has been considered by policymakers, with worst-case scenarios running from "Electronic Pearl Harbor" to the more recent rhetorical refresh of "Cyber Katrina".
