US interim national security strategic guidance
This month, the US White House published its interim national security strategic guidance. The main topic of this document is democracy and how the US should strengthen it (internally and abroad) and work with democratic partners to preserve it. A few paragraphs deal with cyber-threats.
The US administration wishes to restore alliances with like-minded partners, e.g. revitalise NATO. They intend to uphold current rules and shape new global norms in cyberspace.
The US also plans on doubling down on science and technology investments, including in research and development. They will heavily invest in STEM education and ensure that their immigration policy incentivises “the world’s best and brightest to study, work and stay in America”.
Cybersecurity is described as a top priority. It will be elevated as an imperative across the government. The US will expand investments in the infrastructure and people needed to combat malicious cyber activity. Additionally, the US administration will encourage collaboration between the private sector and the government at all levels.
The US administration will hold malicious actors accountable for their activity and will respond by imposing substantial costs through cyber and non-cyber means.
