Press Office | The Coordinator Global Citizens expressed his deep gratitude to Mr. James Lewis, Vice President of the CSIS, the professor at the United States Naval Academy’s Center for Cyber Security Studies, for your detailed analysis of the current situation in cyberspace during the virtual meeting in the framework of the joint project of the Carnegie Moscow Center and the US Embassy in Moscow: Relaunching US- Russia Dialogue on Global Challenges: The Role of the Next Generation.

The message from the Coordinator Global Citizens reads, in part:

Cyber threats and potential cyber warfare illustrate the increased vulnerabilities and loss of control in modern societies.

As states and organizations come to understand better the importance of the Internet to their economic wellbeing, cost-benefit calculations of the utility of cyber warfare may change, just as learning over time altered the understanding of the costs of nuclear warfare.

Today, close cooperation and information sharing within the security and intelligence community is essential, particularly about threat assessments for information operations or “cyber warfare,” cyber-sabotage, and cyber-crime.
