			America’s cyberspace links the United States to
			the rest of the world. A network of networks
			spans the planet, allowing malicious actors on
			one continent to act on systems thousands of
			miles away. Cyber attacks cross borders at light
			speed, and discerning the source of malicious
			activity is difficult. America must be capable of
			safeguarding and defending its critical systems
			and networks. Enabling our ability to do so
			requires a system of international cooperation to
			facilitate information sharing, reduce vulnerabilities,
			and deter malicious actors.

			The National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace
			identifies six major actions and initiatives to
			strengthen U.S. national security and international
			cooperation:

			# Strengthen cyber-related counterintelligence efforts;
			# Improve capabilities for attack attribution and response;
			# Improve coordination for responding to cyber attacks within the U.S. national security community;
			# Work with industry and through international organizations to facilitate dialogue and partnerships among international public and private sectors focused on protecting information infrastructures and promoting a global “culture of security;”
			# Foster the establishment of national and international watch-and-warning networks to detect and prevent cyber attacks as they emerge; and
			# Encourage other nations to accede to the Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime, or to ensure that their laws and procedures are at least as comprehensive.

			Although governments administer only a
			minority of the Nation’s critical infrastructure
			computer systems, governments at all levels
			perform essential services in the agriculture,
			food, water, public health, emergency services,
			defense, social welfare, information and
			telecommunications, energy, transportation,
			banking and finance, chemicals, and postal and
			shipping sectors that depend upon cyberspace
			for their delivery. Governments can lead by
			example in cyberspace security, including
			fostering a marketplace for more secure
			technologies through their procurement.

			The National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace
			identifies five major actions and initiatives for
			the securing of governments’ cyberspace:
			# Continuously assess threats and vulnerabilities to federal cyber systems;
			# Authenticate and maintain authorized users of federal cyber systems;
			# Secure federal wireless local area networks;
			# Improve security in government outsourcing and procurement; and
			# Encourage state and local governments to consider establishing information technology security programs and participate in information sharing and analysis centers with similar governments.
