Building a Global Culture of Cybersecurity • The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS 2003)

recognized the real and significant threat posed by inadequate confidence and security in the use of ICTs and the proliferation of cybercrime

At WSIS in 2005, ITU was entrusted by leaders of the global community to be the Facilitator and Moderator of “Build confidence and security in the use of ICTs”.

As a result, the Global Cybersecurity Agenda (GCA) was launched, as a framework for international cooperation on cybersecurity

UN General Assembly has outlined elements for creating a global culture of cybersecurity through several resolutions, including: Resolution 64/L.8 (2009)‘Creation of a Global Culture of

Cybersecurity’ (Second Committee) Resolution 64/L.39 (2009) ‘Developments in the field of information

and telecommunications in the context of international security’ (First Committee)

Global Cybersecurity Agenda

Creating Confidence in Cyberspace

• Global problem which cannot be solved by any single entity (country or organization);

• The Information Society was built by Member States, Private Sector, Civil Society and the Media – the issue of cybersecurity must therefore be dealt with by all stakeholders ;

• UN agencies need to work together to ensure that WSIS goals are met and that UN is able to ‘Deliver as One’ on cybersecurity;

• Chief Executive Board is engaged.

Recognizing the need for public trust & network security in building…

an equitable, inclusive

information society.

More than 1 billion people are connected in cyberspace

The internet and ICT’s are one of the most powerful tools the United Nations has for sustainable Peace, Security and Development

Together, the UN can bolster trust and confidence in the global use of Information and Communication Technologies
