The US Has A New Global Cyber Security Strategy

President Biden is introducing  a new international strategy with the aim to build global cyber security cooperation, following years of stepped up threats from China, Russia and cyber criminals. 

The State Department’s international cyber security strategy is the first articulated US global cyber strategy in over a decade. The strategy will be formally unveiled by Secretary of State Antony Blinken at the RSA Conference in San Francisco. 

If successful, it could elevate the US’s role globally in countering cyber threats and creating global consensus on Artificial Intelligence (AI), and position the US against China in setting cyber security norms.

Blinken will outline the new international strategy's four main areas of focus:-

  • Promoting a secure digital ecosystem globally.
  • Upholding “rights-respecting” digital technology approaches with allied nations.
  • Building coalitions to counter malicious cyberattacks.
  • Enhancing the cybersecurity resiliency of partner nations.

This final commitment includes a major focus on the State Department’s newly created Cyberspace and Digital Connectivity fund. 

The most recent round of federal appropriations signed into law by President Joe Biden gave the fund $50 million, intended to help allied nations enhance their cybersecurity. Before the fund’s creation, the US gave one-time grants for this purpose to countries including Albania and Costa Rica following separate cyberattacks on government services in those nations.

The new strategy will only carry forward these efforts. Nathaniel Fick, the State Department’s ambassador-at-large for cyberspace and digital policy, has said that the funds are limited. “In an overall 5 to 6 percent declining budgetary environment, we’re seeing a net new $50 million foreign assistance fund,” Fick said. “Now, it’s incumbent upon us, me, our team to prove that it’s worth the investment.”

The national cyber strategy was accompanied by an implementation plan, outlining steps to put the strategy into force. 

Fick also noted that there will also be an implementation plan for the State Department’s strategy, and that “we will have a really concerted effort over the next six months to get as many of these ideas and initiatives baked into our diplomacy as we can.”
