“Evolving Info-Structure in Our Information Age”

All nations evolve their infrastructure along with their peoples’ knowledge and technologies. From our distant past as small bands of nomadic hunter-gatherers, we learned the use of fire to smelt iron and tin --- progressing from the Iron Age to the Bronze Age. We learned to domesticate animals, agriculture to grow our food, settling in villages, our earliest form of infrastructure, so as to more efficiently assure our collective survival.
So human societies forms of infrastructure continued to evolve as we progressed from villages to towns and cities --- always needing to stay connected to meet our changing needs for surviving and developing. Our dirt paths became paved, augmented by rivers linked by networks of canals, the earliest infrastructure of the Industrial Age. Our ships began to keep us connected across oceans, while railroads connected us across continents.

WASHINGTON – The recent discovery of the devastating Sunburst hacking campaign against U.S. and global targets is once again challenging the international community to respond to an increase in cyberattacks. Over the past year, cybersecurity personnel worldwide have faced a surge of hacks against critical infrastructure, including institutions fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. While governments have openly condemned some of this behavior, more collective action is clearly needed.
There is no international treaty for cyber matters, and the 11 nonbinding norms of responsible state cyber behavior endorsed by the United Nations General Assembly are somewhat ambiguous. Additional norms are being put forward all the time, which is a good thing. But norms are not treaties and should not be treated that way. The better option is to concentrate on the spirit — not just the letter — of what the norms convey. Indeed, the latest hacking revelation shows precisely why an international cybersecurity treaty would likely fail.
