==Synopsis==

This report forms the first part of a major project on 
cybersecurity undertaken by Chatham House in conjunc- 
tion with Detica Ltd. The project aims to engage govern- 
ment, private-sector, academic and other specialists in 
high-level analysis of cybersecurity chal lenges and 
responses. 

Where cyberspace and national security are concerned, 
there is a disconnect between technology and public policy 
which this project seeks to bridge. Science and technology 
should be more closely informed by public policy, while a 
technologically informed political leadership should be 
better placed to meet the cybersecurity challenge. This 
project will provide a forum for constructive exchange in 
which the possibilities and limitations of technology can 
be fully explored, and in which the parameters of public 
policy-making can be more closely understood by those 
charged with developing the technological dimensions of 
security policy. 

The project comprises a series of reports. This first 
report identifies the central features of the cybersecurity 
challenge and examines innovative methodologies for 
threat analysis and response. Future reports will address 
the specific demands of national cybersecurity policy, the 
requirement for international cooperation, and the 
balance to be struck between safety and security on the 
one hand, and privacy and liberty on the other.
