Black Hat USA 2024 · Day 1 · Briefing
In an era where the cyber threat landscape is constantly evolving, driven by advancements like Artificial Intelligence, the efficacy of national cybersecurity strategies has become paramount. This Black Hat USA talk, presented by Fred Heiding and his esteemed colleagues, introduces a novel framework designed to evaluate these crucial policy documents. The core challenge addressed is whether existing national strategies, typically 20-100 pages and less than a decade old, truly achieve their stated goal of protecting people and critical institutions. The speakers argue that current evaluation methods often fall short, relying on ambiguous absolute scores that fail to provide actionable insights.
