Emergency situations affecting people worldwide usually bring significant increases in cyberattacks ‎and cybercrimes. The current COVID-19 pandemic is no exception, with many organizations reporting ‎attacks of various kinds on their online infrastructure and systems. There has also been a surge in the ‎Internet usage during the pandemic, meaning that more people are exposed to insecure online ‎environments - making already vulnerable groups even more vulnerable. On a positive side, ‎stakeholders are investing efforts in recognizing the cause of harms and recommending or deciding on ‎innovative digital policy ways to advance online security and safety. This session will look at the ‎resilience of our online environment, necessary actions and policies for a safe cyberspace, and the ‎importance of inclusion and capacity development.
