ABSTRACT
This chapter reviews the types of strategy that have been offered as ways to 'update' the current threat control systems and make them more effective against cybercrime and/or cyberwarfare. Before beginning the review, the author notes that it focuses primarily on proposals that are designed to improve the United States' ability to respond to cyberthreats. Another author said the growing consensus among nations is that the Convention on Cybercrime does not work on at least two levels operationally and strategically. Basically, then, it appears that the Convention on Cybercrime was a valiant first effort toward addressing the problem examined that is cybercriminals' ability to use one nation-state as a haven from which to attack victims in other states with relative impunity. The efforts nation-states are taking in an attempt to improve their ability to resist and survive a major cyber-attack. The chapter reviews the evolution of the hierarchical approaches to maintaining internal and external order on which nation-states currently rely.
