Question

The US ranks #31 out of 75 countries in cybersecurity. On this list, Tajikistan has the worst cybersecurity (rank 1), while Denmark has the best (rank 75). Here are the factors that contribute to what rank a country gets:

% of mobile devices infected with malware (mobile amp; non-mobile)
% of users attacked by banking or ransomware trojans (mobile amp; non-mobile)
% of computers infected by at least one malware attack
% of mobile users attacked via web sources
% of telnet and SSH-based attacks by originating country (IoT)
% of attacks by cryptominers
% of all spam emails by originating country
% share of countries targeted by malicious mailings
% of computers attacked by phishing

When it comes to these factors, the US is just below average when it comes to cybersecurity. However, it is important to note that the US does experience the 2nd highest number of cyber attack victims per capita, at 1,494 per 1 million internet users.
