Los EE.UU. es sólo superada por Singapur en el ranking de la ONU, que examina la capacidad de los países para defenderse de los ataques cibernéticos.
The survey, from the UN’s International Telecommunications Union (ITU), ranks countries based on five criteria. Among them are the ability to prosecute hackers, the technical ability to prevent cyber attacks, cooperation with other countries, the strength of the local cybersecurity industry, and how well a government’s cybersecurity agency is organized.
The US achieved a perfect score for the legal and industry categories, and its technical and organizational scores were both above 90 percent. It didn’t fare as well when it comes to cooperation, however, scoring 73 percent in the ITU’s weighted average. The US’s overall score was 91 percent, placing it ahead of Malaysia (89 percent), and behind first-place Singapore (92 percent).
In addition to those three countries, the ITU’s top 10 list includes other developed countries like France, Canada, and Australia, but also smaller, less developed nations including Estonia, Mauritius, and Georgia. The only Middle Eastern country in the top 10 was Oman, which ranked fourth.
