The 2019 edition of the Best Practice Forum on Cybersecurity explored best practices in relation to recent International Cybersecurity Initiatives. The BPF analysed existing initiatives such as the Paris Call, the GCSC’s Six Critical Norms Towards Cyber Stability, the UN OEWG and GGE, and collected and shared best practices around the implementation of suggested measures.

Draft output
The draft BPF Cybersecurity report, published October 2019, combines the background analysis of cybersecurity agreements by a group of subject-experts with the input received through the BPF's Call for Input. The BPF invited feedback on the report and organized a session at the IGF2019 in Berlin.
The Final IGF2019 BPF Cybersecurity report will soon be published. This report will include further feedback received on the draft as well as reflect insights and discussions from the BPF workshop at IGF2019 in Berlin.

Background document
The BPF Cybersecurity is focusing on international agreements and initiatives on cybersecurity. The main objective of this year's effort is to identify best practices related to the implementation, operationalization, and support of different principles, norms, and policy approaches contained in these international agreements/initiatives by individual signatories and stakeholders.
For a better understanding of the types of agreements we are investigating, we recommend reading the background paper published in July and available here (.pdf) . The paper provides an overview of international agreements and initiatives by focusing on the (i) identification of spaces for agreement, (ii) assessment of the state of existing agreements and (iii) next steps for implementation.
