Description:
The Covid-19 health crisis has exposed both the challenges of and the need for cybersecurity information and analysis sharing, at a regional and global level. Faced with an international crisis that knows no national borders, it is paramount that the global cybersecurity community responds efficiently, effectively and cohesively based on the principles of multistakeholderism. This is, and will continue to be, a shared challenge, and requires from us a shared approach, based on cooperation and coordination. Cybersecurity is global and heavily depends on cooperation. The objective of this session is to clarify the different positions on cybersecurity threat information and analysis sharing in our digital society, specifically in the aftermath of the Covid-19 outbreak. Through discussion, different views from public and private stakeholders, a baseline of shared interests and common objectives will be identified that can be used to serve as a recommendation to the IGF (public/governmental) stakeholders for consideration when developing cybersecurity strategies and policies. The session will hear from multistakeholder participants coming from industry, Government, Cybersecurity cooperation experts and academia, who will engage in a moderated discussion to identify best practices to approach shared challenges and to draw up responses to the policy questions highlighted below.
