Without establishing an agreed upon set of cyber-norms and norms of behavior in cyberspace it is impossible to determine what constitutes espionage, theft or acts of war, the head of the US Navy's Cyber Command believes.

WASHINGTON, December 3 (Sputnik) — Establishing standards to better identify and understand cyber threats is a critical global security issue, the head of the US Navy’s Cyber Command told Sputnik.

“I think the issue right now is that we have not gotten to a place where we’ve established an agreed upon set of cyber-norms, norms of behavior in cyberspace, since none of us are operating off an established game plan,” US Navy Vice Adm. Jan E. Tighe said, responding to a question about cyber issues that threaten global security.

Without establishing such norms it is impossible to determine what constitutes espionage, theft or acts of war, Tighe explained. As a result, she said, “it tends to be sort of the ‘Wild Wild West’ out there.”

Tighe spoke at a Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a Washington think tank. Fleet Cyber Command is the Navy’s operational authority for cyber, networks, cryptologic/signals intelligence, information operations, electronic warfare, and space capabilities.
