The Foundations of National Cyber Strategies with Chris Inglis

How can nations develop cyber strategies that fulfill the needs and aspirations of all stakeholders? In this episode, Chris Inglis, the first U.S. National Cyber Director, joins us to discuss why trust, collaboration, and shared accountability form the foundations of effective national cybersecurity.

Drawing on his leadership in delivering the 2023 U.S. National Cybersecurity Strategy, Inglis highlights the critical need for broad-based consultation between governments and the private sector to develop cyber strategies that effectively align technological innovation with skills development and a framework for governance. Using the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack as an example, he underscores that cybersecurity isn’t just about protecting data and infrastructure—it’s about safeguarding a society’s confidence in their national security and essential services.
