Introduction

• Cyberspace
• Its use is totally pervasive across governments,
  economies, and individuals.
• The growing dependency on our use of cyberspace
  makes it an attractive target for those who would
  do us harm.
• We know cyber attacks are daily events, yet there
  is an incredible amount of ongoing work in cyber
  security.
• Why is it important to collaborate
  internationally?

3
Interdependent Security

• In an interdependent world, the risks faced by
  any ONE agent depend not only on its choices but
  also on the choice of all OTHERS.
• Failures of a weak link in an interdependent
  system can have devastating impacts on all parts
  of the system.
• Cyber Interdependence does not require proximity

Cyber Security

• Like airline passenger flows, cyberspace has a
  large number of entry points
• No one country / carrier can independently secure
  the system or take effective unilateral actions
• We must work collectively and collaboratively in
  a variety of areas to close the gaps.

  levels

  Detect, Respond, Recover capabilities)
