Christian Leuprecht, a professor at Canada 91ÖÆƬ³§ ’s Royal Military College and 91ÖÆƬ³§, and an expert on national security and related issues, says the Biden administration likely won’t make a difference on cyber diplomacy. Beyond the U.N. Group of Experts’ efforts to find a consensus on internet governance, he says, there 91ÖÆƬ³§ ’s no movement on an international pact due to intransigence by China and Russia.
However, he says he thinks Biden may be able to find a consensus among Western nations on norms of behaviour in cyberspace — something like, ‘cross this line, and there will be consequences’ — such as forbidding attacks on COVID-19 vaccine supply chains as well as on critical infrastructure.
