Description: The SDA interviewed and surveyed some 80 policy-makers and cybersecurity experts in the government, business and academic worlds in 27 countries and anonymously surveyed 250 world leaders in 21 countries. SDA then analyzed the quantitative results, and authored the Global Cyber Defense Report. This report examines the current state of cyber-preparedness around the world and was created to help governments and organizations understand how their cyber defense compares to other countries and organizations. The SDA report paints, for the first time, a picture of a global snapshot of current thinking about the cyber-threat and the measures that should be taken to defend against it, and assesses the way ahead.
