Building cybersecurity capacity: a framework of analysis for national cybersecurity strategies

States propose a range of policies to combat cyber threats. This article explores the approaches they take to build cybersecurity preparedness through a content analysis of the national cybersecurity strategies of 83 nation-states. We introduce a new typology for cybersecurity policies which conceptualises them according to their international versus domestic and collaborative versus non-collaborative focus. We describe trends in the content of these documents and discuss the policy implications of our findings.
