Leadership in Cyber Security: Who Takes Responsibility?

Addressing vulnerability and promoting security
Jul 11, 2020 | S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Kogila Balakrishnan

All parts of society - in government and business, and in management and technology sectors -- need cyber education and training. Kogila Balakrishnan suggests in his article for the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies that state and non-state actors in the cyber domain need to develop a common set of agreed values. At least three possible directions may evolve: increased support for wider powers for Interpol to provide cyber policing; provision of wider powers to an existing or new UN body with authority over the cyber domain; or deeper cooperation between the major ISP providers and /police authorities. He argues that leadership in cyber space is a cultural and educational issue, not one of political/authority, and that a collective bottom- up agreement on norms and values rather than a top down imposition, is the way forward.
