Abstract: 

This project compares the national cybersecurity strategies of seven advanced cyber powers—Australia, Germany, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, the UK, and the US—to identify the most effective and innovative policy approaches that should inform global standards. We examine how countries address shared challenges such as private-sector capacity-building, workforce development, and international cooperation, while also identifying gaps in support for SMEs, vulnerable populations, and non-technical cyber workforces, as well as insights on how governments prepare for emerging threats like generative AI, quantum encryption, and the evolving cyber landscape.
