Making the Case for a Federal Bureau of Statistics

There is a clear and compelling need for a repository of systematically collected and analyzed data on cyber threat activity and of the relative effectiveness of different measures of cybersecurity, resilience and recovery. At the highest level, defense and effective deterrence of adversary activity in cyberspace requires data that is accurate, timely and pertinent to the policy and operational decisions made by government and industry executives, decision-makers and operators.

The Cyberspace Solarium Commission recommends creating a federal bureau of statistics to support a broad range of needs, as well as public and private sector users. Such a bureau’s work would be useful to U.S. national and economic security, as well as to government, critical infrastructure and private businesses.

Join us for this SIGNAL Media Webinar as cybersecurity experts tackle how professionals, the public, policymakers and decision-makers suffer from anecdotes masquerading as data, and discuss the trends lines drawn from highly visible incidents that can lead to effective processes, safeguards and trust for cyber data collection and sharing.
