 Administration released the National Strategy to Advance Privacy-Preserving Data Sharing and Analytics in March 2023. The strategy provides a roadmap for research, development, and adoption of PETs in a manner that will help tackle shared challenges such as healthcare, climate change, financial crime, human trafficking, and pandemic response. The United States has also engaged with international partners and academia stakeholders through the PETs Prize Challenge, which announced winners at the Summit for Democracy in March 2023. Enhancing Security and Resilience Across the Globe Cyberspace is a global domain, and the United States works hand-in-hand with allies and partners to defend against common cyber threats and build shared resilience. This approach to collective defense is rooted in both increasingly integrated operational capabilities and deepening strategic alignment. Over the past year, Federal departments and agencies signed new arrangements to strengthen bilateral cooperation with a wide range of foreign partners, including Finland, the Republic of Korea, and Jordan. Throughout 2023, the United States responded to our partners and allies in times of crisis, supporting countries such as Costa Rica and Albania with funding, resources, and technical expertise to help them recover from cyberattacks. Recent incidents have shown the need for both immediate incident response resources and longer-term technical support to develop more secure and resilient cyber ecosystems. The Administration continues to expand flexible and innovative pathways for building partner cyber capacity. A new Cyberspace, Digital Connectivity, and Related Technologies Fund, established with support from Congress, recognizes the need for sustained funding mechanisms able to scale to meet our partners’ needs in and out of conflict. This instrument, once fully funded, enables the State Department to provide foreign assistance through flexible, robust, and responsive cyber, digital, and emerging technology programs that can be delivered quickly in order to respond to fast moving threats and opportunities. The Administration also collaborates with allies, partners, and the private sector to build cyber capacity. For example, in December 2023, the Tallinn Mechanism was officially formalized between the United States, Ukraine, and nine other partners as a means to coordinate and facilitate civilian cyber capacity building in support of Ukraine. The Tallinn Mechanism systematizes the assistance and contributions from both governments and the private sector to reinforce Ukraine’s long-term cyber resilience and preparedness. The United States has used regional coalitions—such as the Organization of American States (OAS), Economic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS), and Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)— to build cybersecurity capacity as the demand for cybersecurity assistance grows in both scope and scale. In September 2023, DHS hosted the first Western Hemisphere Cyber Conference, which convened cyber leaders from 21 foreign governments to discuss cybersecurity challenges and identify areas of collaboration. To support global, multistakeholder efforts on sustainable cyber capacity building, the U.S. endorsed the Accra Call for Cyber Resilient Development: An Action Framework. 2024 REPORT ON THE CYBERSECURITY OF THE UNITED STATES POSTURE 25
