This book examines the governance challenges of cybersecurity. In 12 detailed case studies, this edited collection provides an overview of the ways in which government officials and corporate leaders across the globe are responding to the challenges of cybersecurity. In weaving together these disparate cases, the book provides a guide to the continually evolving cybersecurity ecosystem. It charts the role that corporations, policymakers, and technologists are playing in defining the contours of our digital world. The changes introduced in the name of cybersecurity are important: they are remaking and reshaping our expectations of privacy, the foundations on which businesses operate, and the technical character of the networks on which we rely. The book offers readers an opportunity to understand these changes.

The book emphasizes the interconnection of law, policy, and technology in cyberspace. The selected case studies underscore the institutional and organizational dimensions of the domain. The book ultimately explores the core tensions that sit at the center of cybersecurity efforts, highlighting the ways in which debates about cybersecurity are often inevitably about much more.
