"And so rather than talk about who those actors are that hold them at risk or talk about coalitions of one form or another that might take on coalitions of malign actors, let's talk about the needs of our citizens and that everyone wants to live in a crime-free world. That might sound like a bit of a panacea, but there's no one that would argue against that."
"And I think the other thing about taking on the criminal elements is that there's so many of them, the cost of entry is still so low and the assets they might acquire still so high that we're never going to entirely remove them from the field. That might sound like I'm giving up before I even start, but it's going to focus us on this high-leverage proposition of, what if we just made it too hard for them to succeed?"
Global cyber threats and rising cybercrime demand cooperative, collective action emphasizing resilience. Focus should shift from identifying every malicious actor to protecting citizens and making criminal success too difficult. Low cost of entry and high-value assets mean criminals will persist, so priorities include robust digital infrastructure, high-leverage measures that deter attempts, and building confidence in systems. Resilience and robustness are practical tools to reduce impact rather than eliminate threats entirely. Collective action across nations and sectors can enhance protective measures and preserve a crime-free aspiration for citizens by reducing opportunities for successful cybercrime.
