Fresh off the release of its national cybersecurity strategy, the Trump administration gauged interest at the United Nations in restarting talks on global cybersecurity norms. The negotiations, which collapsed last year amid reported acrimony among the U.S., Russia and others, aim to set limits on government-backed hacking at a time when offensive operations are abundant.

At a meeting Friday with representatives of more than 20 countries, Deputy Secretary of State John J. Sullivan raised the prospect of restarting the norms dialogue at the U.N. Group of Government Experts (GGE), according to a State Department statement. Sullivan told reporters the department hopes to reconvene the GGE "to define norms of behavior that states will abide by and, if they don't, to impose consequences."

Worth a read. I remain skeptical governments, especially the U.S., can achieve anything meaningful.
