Earlier this month, the White House released the National Cybersecurity Strategy, the first issued since 2018. The strategy refocuses roles, responsibilities, and resource allocations in the digital ecosystem, with a five pillar approach. Those pillars are: defending critical infrastructure, disrupting threat actors, shaping market forces to drive security and resilience, investing in a resilient future, and forging international partnerships.

For at least two decades, the U.S. intelligence community and special projects agencies have been exploring the potential of prediction markets and crowd-forecasting platforms to better forecast geopolitical and technical trends. Similarly, a number of prominent corporations, including Google, Ford, Yahoo, Hewlett-Packard, and Eli Lilly, have likewise turned to these tools to predict everything from which product lines will be most profitable to whether a deadline is likely to be met. Yet despite this seeming opportunity, there remains a significant gap: almost nobody has deployed the tools for crowd-forecasting to cybersecurity problems. We propose to change that paradigm. We believe that a cybersecurity-focused forecasting market can create useful value-added information for decision-makers. To test this hypothesis we have begun a small beta test applying the principles of crowd-forecasting directly to a set of cybersecurity questions.This talk will provide background on the use of crowd-forecasting for policy and discuss some interim results of the ongoing beta test.
