Strengthening capacity for Indo-Pacific cybersecurity through international law, norms, and confidence-building measures addressing regional priorities
Malicious cyber operations are omnipresent and current approaches to “cyber deterrence” fall short. To help deter cyber incidents and foster accountability, already accepted international norms and law need to be effectively implemented.
The Cyber Accountability project is examining past experiences addressing other international threats and risks to identify lessons learned in the area of accountability that can be applicable to cyber. By applying lessons from other domestic and international efforts, the project will provide policymakers with both legal and technical expertise on accountability in the cyber domain, as well as perspectives from government, civil society, and industry on potential paths to better address cyber threats. This project is being implemented by regular engagement with other stakeholders, a webinar series, and production of a research report.
