An Internet of Governments: How Policymakers Became Interested in “Cyber”
summary
Covers concrete episodes that pushed governments into cyber policy: Clipper Chip (1993), Stuxnet (2010), DigiNotar (2011) and the Mirai DDoS that toppled DNS in 2016, showing how encryption, CA compromises and IoT botnets broke assumptions about borders and control. Describes FIRST’s trainings and fellowships (including a six‑month sanctions clearance for Tehran) that built incident‑response capacity, explains treaties and forums (Budapest, Tallinn, Wassenaar, ITU, UNGGE, IGF, London Process), and traces emerging norms like hotlines and Microsoft’s pledge to patch regardless of attacker.
