Responsible cyber power sounds good but what does it mean exactly? And how can it be achieved? As different countries jostle for advantage in cyber space, answering these questions is becoming increasingly important.
Complimentary white paper:
How the UK can be a responsible cyber power
In this insight paper, Dr Mary Haigh, says that while different definitions abound, responsible cyber power combines strong cyber defences with offensive cyber capabilities underpinned by the law and a strong ethical framework.
She explains why responsible cyber power cannot be achieved by government alone; it demands the engagement of industry, universities, schools and society as a whole.
It also needs a collective, diverse cyber workforce, made up of not just of software coders and computer scientists, but containing truly broad skillsets, from communications to marketing and from geopolitics to human behavioural scientists.
