BSA’s 2023 Global Cyber Agenda builds on our work to improve software security, manage cybersecurity risk for emerging technologies, harmonize laws and policies within and between governments, support investment in modern IT infrastructure and cybersecurity, and develop the cyber workforce of the future. The agenda describes policy recommendations governments and lawmakers should consider, focusing on four key themes:

• Encourage Public-Private Collaboration to increase the likelihood that a law or policy achieves its intended outcome while minimizing unintended consequences.
• Support Integrated Risk Management Practices to ensure the most direct path toward improved cybersecurity and a more secure digital ecosystem.
• Incentivize Innovation with laws and policies that can accommodate new processes and technologies that achieve better cybersecurity outcomes.
• Prioritize Cybersecurity Over Politics to ensure continued cybersecurity improvements and avoid protectionist policies.
