U.S. makes new push for global rules in cyberspace
The U.S. government has launched an all-out diplomatic push to impose peacetime international rules of the road on cyberspace.
Officials have been promoting the idea of guidelines for acceptable nation-state cyber behavior in conferences and bilateral meetings across the globe for several months. Now, in the most significant move to date, the U.S. government has formally proposed a slate of such peacetime cyber “norms” to a United Nations body — norms that U.S. military and civilian officials pledge to honor and think other nations ought to live by too, a person knowledgeable about the negotiations tells POLITICO.
