In Shift, U.S. Talks to Russia on Internet Security

What's happening: The United States, Russia and a United Nations arms control committee have begun talks aimed at strengthening Internet security and limiting military use of cyberspace.

What it means: Nations must protect cyberspace as the strategic national asset it has become. As attacks on Latvia and Georgia have illustrated, a nation can be crippled by a methodical cyber-attack. Along with strong defenses, international treaties are a necessary pillar in any effective cyberspace security solution.

What to do: Stay tuned. This is just the beginning. There's still a lot of hard work ahead.
