International Cybersecurity Strategy: Deterring Foreign Threats and Building Global Cyber Norms (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781718659018)

Cyber represents a new domain in global affairs likely to be significant in shaping the 21st century as nuclear weapons were in shaping the 20th century. How the United States and others in the international community develop norms of behavior, assure freedom of expression, and understand how concepts such as deterrence, supply, and cyberspace will be critical foreign policy challenges in the years ahead. How cyber technology is used to advance the flow of information and to protect us against cyber attacks can also be used to repress people from being able to get information by governments that look at cyber as a threat to their totalitarian regimes. The Internet must belong to its users, not just the states. There are especially repressive regimes like Russia and China that are seeking to block or control access to their people to the Internet. We will not be able to realize the full potential of the Internet to support freedom, civil society, and human dignity as long as certain nations continue to severely restrict Internet freedom. We need to be leaders in upholding the principles of Internet freedom and human rights in cyberspace. We need to synchronize America's undisputed technology leadership with indisputable values and principles. That is what America brings to this international debate, and that is why it is critically important that we develop acceptable international norms in regards to the use of cyber and what is expected.
