Institutional Foundations for Cyber Security: Current Responses and New Challenges

Abstract

This paper profiles institutions that are responsible for addressing threats to cyber security. Rather than focusing primarily on the private sector, we analyze key organizations at the national, international, and intergovernmental level. Our purpose is to highlight emerging responses and challenges, while simultaneously evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of the current institutional framework. A secondary goal is to investigate the feasibility of using quantitative data to evaluate cyber security performance.
