Cyber Security Finally Reaches Global Government Debate – US and Russia
The US and Russia are engaged in a debate about the future of international cooperation to defend against cyber attackers and cyber criminals. Its about time.
Russia favors a treaty, which will facilitate information exchange and legal actions, as well as potential authorization of cyber-force against attackers online. The US is arguing for a more informal approach based on increased cooperation between law enforcement agencies in various countries.
In my view, both are needed.

The UK Government has announced that they have developed “cyber attack capability”, but are not using it for industrial espionage “like some other countries”.
This seems a veiled jab at the Chinese government, who is suspected of employing cyber attacks for industrial espionage as well as to further government policies.
