Brian Cute on What Collective Cyber Action Actually Looks Like

There is no shortage of cybersecurity activity. Governments, technology companies, civil society, philanthropies, international organizations, and researchers are all investing significant resources to make the digital world safer. Yet the people and organizations most in need of protection often remain exposed.

In a new article, GCA President and CEO Brian Cute argues that the problem is not a lack of effort, but a lack of orchestration. The cybersecurity ecosystem often rewards individual organizational success rather than collective outcomes, leading to duplicated efforts, disconnected initiatives, and valuable knowledge that does not travel far enough. Moving forward, he calls for a model in which each sector focuses on its unique strengths while coordinating around shared priorities, evidence, and outcomes.

Building cyber resilience at speed and scale will require making collective action the default—not something that happens only around individual projects or crises. Read the full article to explore what it would take to build a cybersecurity ecosystem designed to work as a system.
