Cyber Strategy
Strategy is the effort to achieve policy goals through the application of appropriate means on the adversary and on the operating environment. As these factors change and policymakers better understand those changes, strategy must evolve. The 2023 US National Cybersecurity Strategy provides us with an important framework, but also with questions that the cyber policy community must work to answer in the years to come.
