Cyber Accountability

Improving cyber accountability and deterring malicious cyber activity

About the Project

Malicious cyber operations are omnipresent and constantly evolving. Greater accountability is needed for state and non-state threat actors, in line with agreed laws and norms. But how can we incentivize responsible cyber behavior? What costs are being implemented and are they effective? How can we build trust in cyber attribution and capacity? The initial phase of the Cyber Accountability project examined past experiences addressing other international threats and risks and identified lessons that can inform accountability in the cyber domain. Later and current stages of this project are considering regional or sector specific perspectives bour y drawing from both domestic and international efforts, the project will provide policymakers with legal and technical expertise on accountability in the cyber domain, alongside insights from government, civil society, and industry on potential paths to better address cyber threats.
