The Center for Strategic & International Studies’ Cyber Policy Task Force assembled a series of recommendations for President-elect Trump regarding cybersecurity. The agenda suggests that the new administration should be guided by two principles in shaping cyber policy: making sure there are consequences for international actors and incentivizing domestic actors to provide better cybersecurity.
Those two principles can be followed in addressing what the task force identifies as the five biggest cyber challenges: (1) Deciding on a new international strategy to help handle a dangerous global security environment; (2) Making a greater effort to reduce and control cyber crime (3) Improving efforts to secure critical infrastructures and cyber
hygiene, including a new approach to securing government agencies; (4) Identifying the appropriate balance between federal government and the private sector in moving the field forward; (5) Determining how to organize the United States to defend cyberspace, including either strengthening the role of DHS or creating a new cyber agency.
The report includes a thorough introduction, several policy based recommendations, some organizational recommendations, as well as some suggestions for how to better utilize resources. The full agenda is included below.
