Conceptualizing the Mandate for the Bureau of Cyber Statistics
As I noted [1] in an earlier Lawfare post (co-authored with Chas Kissick), the Cyberspace Solarium Commission has recommended the establishment of a Bureau of Cyber Statistics [2] (BCS). In our earlier post, Kissick and I reflected on several questions that relate to the bureau’s organizational structure, in an effort to advance the discussion on the structure and direction that the bureau should take.
This post moves to the second part of the discussion: the substance of the bureau’s mandate. Answering questions about the substance of the bureau’s work will require wide-ranging consultation with the government, the private sector and non-governmental organizations during the coming months. Through that sort of consultation, the outlines of the BCS can be developed.
