Blueprint for a National Cyber Security Strategy by Gold Institute For International Strategy

The Blueprint for a National Cybersecurity Strategy outlines a framework to guide public and private sector leaders in strengthening U.S. cybersecurity. Drawing on research from the Cyberspace Solarium Commission and GAO reports, it identifies urgent gaps in policy, operations, and workforce development. The Blueprint integrates findings from the 2025 White House AI Action Plan to enhance incident response, intelligence sharing, and international cooperation. It stresses that despite recent strategic efforts, cyber adversaries continue to exploit U.S. systems, costing billions annually. The document calls for shifting focus from politically driven initiatives toward practical, measurable objectives that reinforce national digital security. Key recommendations include expanding offensive cyber capabilities, improving intelligence and deterrence policies, and developing cost-effective risk management strategies to protect critical infrastructure and the economy.
