Cyberspace Solarium Commission 2021 Annual Report on Implementation August 2021

The United States has a problem in cyberspace. the recent torrent of hacks, intrusions, breaches, ransomware, and shutdowns demonstrates that we have much more to do to secure Americans' lives and livelihoods online. This is true for the private sector, where it is far past time for business leaders to proactively protect critical infrastructure and securesensitive information. It is also true for the government, where issues of jurisdiction, bureaucracy, and underinvestment hamper eorts to combat cyber threats, build effective public-private collaboration, and promote responsible behavior in cyberspace. Complex and interwoven challenges like these were precisely what motivated the Cyberspace Solarium Commission's work and informed the Commission's March 2020 report. Last year we concluded that attaining meaningful security in cyberspace requires action across many coordinated fronts. We have seen a great deal of progress in implementing the original 82 recommendations from that report, as well as the recommendations we added in white papers along the way.

This report explores the progress of the Cyberspace Solarium Commission.
