2013 Year in Review: Saving Cyberspace

During 2013, the Atlantic Council’s Cyber Statecraft Initiative cemented its position as the most forward-leaning think tank on cyber policy issues in Washington, DC and perhaps the world. The goal of the program is “saving cyberspace” as this most transformative technology since Gutenberg is under threat, putting at risk the national security of the United States and the economic security of the world.

Our program also became very well known for taking a strong position against overly aggressive spying by the National Security Agency and related cyber covert attacks, like Stuxnet. On this and other important issues, we held more than sixty events, from private dinners with senior international policymakers to large conferences like the Cyber 9/12 project with hundreds of people attending in person or online. The highlight of the Initiative’s publications was the release of A Fierce Domain, Conflict in Cyberspace, 1986 to 2012, which as the first military history of cyberspace received widespread praise, including in the Economist magazine.

Led by an ideas-driven approach on these issues, this year experts had twenty broadcast interviews and the Cyber Statecraft Initiative has been mentioned in major national news outlets including National Public Radio, the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Foreign Policy, Bloomberg News, Newsweek, CNN, the Atlantic, the Financial Times, the Economist, Deutsche Welle, and more.  Director Jason Healey is a regular op-ed contributor to US News & World Report’s “World Report” section and Foreign Policy’s online “National Security” blog. 

 In 2014, the Cyber Statecraft Initiative hopes to build on this success in several ways.  First, it will continue the Cyber 9/12 series and work on Global Aggregations of Cyber Risk (aka “cyber sub-prime”).  Second, the team will expand to meet the global moment, with a goal of “saving cyberspace,” as the Internet is under unprecedented challenges, under threat of being torn apart by conflicting requirements, increasing complexity, and ineffectual governance.

MAJOR PROJECTS for SAVING CYBERSPACE

1. Global Aggregations of Cyber Risk
The Atlantic Council, in partnership with Zurich Insurance, is managing a year-long effort to understand how concentrations of correlated risks, interconnectedness, and complexity contribute to systemic threats to the entire system and ways to mitigate these risks, such as insurance and resilience. Currently, cybersecurity professionals are looking at cyber vulnerabilities one organization or one nation at a time, without looking at the systemic risk to the overall system. This approach is similar to how the financial sector handled risks prior to the 2008 financial when financial risks were assessed one organization at a time, not recognizing how a shock to one sector―US sub-prime mortgages―might cascade to take down everyone else.

2. Cyber 9/12 Project
“Cyber 9/11” or “Digital Pearl Harbor” are common phrases with little exploration of what they actually mean or what we might do afterwards. The headline Cyber 9/12 Project, funded by Leidos, is part conference and part exercise, which presses leaders in government and private industry to explore day-after responses to a major cyber attack. A parallel event, the Cyber 9/12 Student Challenge, is a competition devoted to challenge university students to create and present high-level policy recommendations for day-after responses to a major cyber campaign. The panel of judges was drawn from the upper echelons of the White House, US Department of Defense, US Department of State, and leading cyber security firms.

3. The History of Cyber Conflict
This project focuses on capturing lasting policy lessons from the history of cyber conflict which remain largely ignored despite its occurrence for more than two decades, forcing stakeholders to re-learn old lessons and repeat mistakes. The focus of project is to demystify cyber conflict and explore how cyberspace relates to more traditional warfigting domains, both on a national and international level.  This project has resulted in the first-ever cyber conflict history book, A Fierce Domain: Conflict in Cyberspace, 1986 to 2012, which explores the twenty-six-year history of cyber conflict and analyzes case studies of the most significant cyber incidents.

4. Smart Governance for Cybersecurity and Resilience
The project explores the intersection of strong cybersecurity and maintaining an open, interoperable, secure, and reliable Internet through a series of discussions and workshops. The path to comprehensive cybersecurity requires responsible Internet governance and a balance of liberty and security in the future development of the Internet. Through events and representation at key global governance discussions, the Cyber Statecraft Initiative has been an important player in the debate.
