This report analyzes the national cybersecurity strategies of seven leading powers—Australia, Germany, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States—to identify best practices and, we hope, inform future policymaking. We have benchmarked each strategy against a rubric of 70 criteria spanning five core categories: protecting people and infrastructure, generating capacity, building partnerships, codifying roles and responsibilities, and communicating clear policy. Our research highlights effective and innovative cybersecurity policy approaches that should inform global standards, as well as areas where the seven strategies fell short, aligned, or diverged significantly. Based on our findings, we offer commentary specific to each featured country’s threat landscape and policy environment, as well as recommendations for future national cybersecurity strategists from any country.
