How does the US compare in its ability to resist cyber attacks?
Check out the Cyber Power Index released by the Economist Intelligence Unit. The index measures the ability of G20 countries to resist cyber attacks. In their own words, the Cyber Power Index is:
"The purpose of the Cyber Power Index is to benchmark the ability of the G20 countries to withstand cyber attacks and to deploy the digital infrastructure needed for a productive economy. In doing so, the index measures both the success of digital uptake and the degree to which the economic and regulatory environment promotes national cyber power.
The index is developed as an interactive quantitative and qualitative scoring model constructed from the following four categories:
- Legal and Regulatory Framework
- Economic and Social Context
- Technology Infrastructure
- Industry Application
Each category score is calculated from the weighted means of underlying indicators and scaled from 0-100, where 100=most favorable. Each country’s overall score is a weighted mean of its category scores."
While this may not help you to decide on what solutions can best help you resist cyber attacks, we thought it was a quick to read and interesting infographic tool.
