With the rise of technology becoming ever more prevalent and showing no signs of slowing down, cybersecurity in terms of government security is more important than ever. Every country experiences some form of cyber threats if they have any bit of information stored on a server or connected to a network. These risks can vary depending on the country’s technological landscape, cybersecurity practices, and amount of desirable assets it has stored. The United States sits at the forefront of cyber innovation and its reliance on networks for defense capabilities. The US typically is proactive in identifying vulnerabilities and mitigating risks, as they must be due to the high amount of attacks the US incurs from malicious actors. The United States boasts a large GDP and significant reliance on internet connectivity, making it a prime target for cyber-attacks. For example, according to the International Journal of Cyber Criminology as of 2016, the US is targeted by phishing attacks making up for 60% of attacks worldwide. The average loss for an individual effected by a phishing attack can be upwards of $1800 dollars. However, the average loss for a business that suffers a successful phishing attack is upwards of $20,000 dollars. The United States is a prime target for other countries, referring to phishing attacks, the top sources of those attacks include China, Russia, Ukraine, and Brazil. Despite the United States’ enticing position for attacks, its advanced cybersecurity infrastructure and large investments into cyber defense help mitigate some risk, catch potential attacks before they happen, and deter malicious individuals. The United States also has many adversaries whose countries also spend a lot of their budgets on cyber related activities, leaving the US open to the risk of Cyber Warfare. Countries with lower GDP and less internet usage fall into phishing and fee scam categories, due to less attack activity largescale and lack of cyber security protocols. Many lesser developed countries lack the advanced cyber defense systems that larger countries such as the US have at their disposal.
