Prepping for Long-Term Competition? U.S. Leadership in Cyberspace from Trump to Biden

Résumé

The long-held U.S. leadership in cyberspace seems to be waning. The return of great power competition on the international stage demonstrates a crisis of legitimacy and resources for the United States in cyberspace. But it also reflects an identity crisis concerning the capacity of the United States to ensure the stability of the “global commons” as well as to deter potential aggressors. Against this backdrop, the Biden administration has chosen to integrate the external and domestic dimensions of its cybersecurity strategies, while stepping up the technological competition with China. As a result, U.S. leadership in cyberspace now rests upon three pillars: peace through strength, embodied in a rather offensive doctrine and the constant expansion of cyber capabilities; strength through resilience, with a strong federal focus on building up the cybersecurity of domestic infrastructure; resilience through techno-nationalism, driven by the systemic rivalry with China. Yet, there is no guarantee that these choices will, in the long run, lead to greater security.
