EmailWe’re living in a fast changing world, from shifting government priorities to increasingly complex cyber threats, to the rapid rise and diffusion of AI. Cybersecurity policies and preparedness efforts must evolve to meet these challenges. It’s everyone’s responsibility—from DC, to the C-Suite, to your street.
To address these emerging security challenges and opportunities, Aspen Digital has launched a series of cyber projects. Each project emerges from our cross sectoral convenings with the world’s leading cybersecurity experts across industry, government, and civil society, and feature commentary by top cyber policy leaders on the most pressing challenges facing their community today.
Beyond the Beltway
This series identifies challenges and smart practices for building state and local cyber capacity, and areas for consensus on effective intergovernmental collaboration. Commentary represents a range of local and national perspectives on the future of cyber policy in the US.

Beyond the Beltway
Amidst changes in the threat and policy landscape, we convened experts on evolving roles in state and local cybersecurity efforts.
The Limits of Risk-Informed Planning for State and Local Cyber Readiness
A shift to risk-informed planning may hinder cyber readiness as state and local governments assess their evolving digital threats.
Playing Offense
This project tackles how lawmakers and industry leaders alike should think about offensive cyber operations, including both the risks and opportunities. Commentary represents a range of views on what offensive operations are and how to evaluate them, and recommended courses of action for a whole-of-nation effort.

Now’s the time to establish first principles for offensive cyber, a foundation to strengthen the US cyber strategy and avoid escalation.
Offense Won’t Cut it Alone
As we increase our focus on offensive operations, we must not take our eye off the cyber fundamentals needed to deter criminal networks.
MADE TO MEASURE
This project explores the development of cyber metrics in the US. Metrics bring together parties with different experiences and priorities under a commonly agreed-upon set of goals. Done right, they can link cybersecurity policy towards measurable outputs connected to national security and the economy.
