Paramount - Something that is paramount or of paramount importance is more important than anything else.
Stratification - Stratification is the division of something, especially society, into different classes or layers.
The importance of securing national assets such as government databases, federal repositories and military installations is definitely of paramount importance. I agree with the assessment that the countries citizens and resources should be protected by some federal umbrella, but as you have pointed out, the global aspect continues to make this much more difficult. The involvement of transnational organizations in almost every aspect of human life makes cybersecurity a real professional challenge. The interesting consequence of hyper-inteconnectivity will be the cohesive monitoring and securing of assets between countries. National interests almost inevitably creates a level of stratification between countries, and the Google issue in China is an interesting case between national interests and a transnational corporation. The battle of cyberspace has only begun to take shape.
