description Cyber security is an emerging -- and increasingly high profile -- national policy concern; not only in terms of material vulnerabilities but also in terms of conceptualising security approaches. Many states, particularly Western democracies, have situated the 'public-private partnership' (P3) at the centre of their national cyber security strategies. However, there has been a persistent ambiguity around this fundamental concept: policymakers regard the state as without the capability and also without the mandate to impose security requirements beyond government-owned systems; the private sector, however, is highly averse to accepting responsibility for national security and will fund cyber security only within the parameters of the profit/risk calculation appropriate for a shareholder-based arrangement. Amidst increasing suggestions that a market-led approach to cyber security has failed, a deeper exploration at the ideas and concepts behind this approach finds that a reliance on the P3 emerges from deeply held and shared beliefs about government legitimacy and private authority which may not be easily reconciled with wider national security issues for a modern digital economy.
