Abstract

In the context of increasingly intensive digitalization, cybersecurity is becoming a key element of the global political agenda. The United States, being the birthplace of the Internet and leaders in the field of information technology, significantly influences the formation of global standards for cybersecurity management. This article presents an analysis of American official documents to assess changes in the Biden administration's cybersecurity policy and their potential impact on international relations and global cyberspace management standards. The analysis begins with a review of the market-oriented approach of the Clinton era, moves on to the strategic inclusion of cybersecurity in the national security architecture under the Bush administration, and also concerns the differences in the approaches of the Obama and Trump administrations. Special attention is paid to a detailed review of the Biden administration's "National Cybersecurity Strategy," highlighting innovations in strengthening network regulation, deepening cooperation between the state and the private sector, and reforming cybersecurity responsibility. The article also explores how these changes may affect international standards in the field of cybersecurity, and analyzes the strategic importance and global implications of cooperation between China and Russia in this area, justifying their importance for the future global governance of cyberspace. The research methodology is based on the analysis of official documents and strategies of the US administration in the field of cybersecurity. The article identifies trends and strategic changes, assessing their global impact and interaction with the private sector. The scientific novelty of this article is expressed in a thorough analysis of the reform of the cybersecurity strategy under the Biden administration, especially in the context of its impact on international relations and global standards of cyberspace management. The study reveals the deepening of interaction between the state and the private sector, as well as the strengthening of regulatory mechanisms, which differs from previous approaches based on a voluntary basis. Special attention is paid to the trend of global network security transition from a single model to multi-level cooperation and competition. The article emphasizes that the introduction of a zero-trust framework can provoke global changes that enhance the complexity and diversity of international relations in the field of cybersecurity. The main conclusion of the work is the recognition of the strategic importance of cooperation between China and Russia in cybersecurity, which significantly affects the global management of cyberspace and emphasizes the need for international coordination in this area.
