The fact is, the wider international community understands and manages physical conflicts, how
to provide recovery efforts and humanitarian aid. But cyberwars remain somewhat unknown, even
though they can sometimes be as damaging, and there is a scarcity of international laws to
regulate the incidents. The digital world we have come to know is something akin to American
western frontier days; the difference is that now, the outlaws are state-sponsored black hats,
available to champion any malicious cause for a price. It will take a careful collaboration of
resources and very many summits to elevate international cybersecurity to the necessary level of
priority and urgency, so that the U.S. and each ally country can achieve more careful collaboration
and protection for citizens and global interests.
