General Background
Information Security Education & Solidarity (ISES):
Sharing Strategies, Implementation, and Experience: Stimulation new Action

October 5, 2015: time of the sessions on the WCC’2015 web site.

The Internet is global. Is security in the global net a local issue? One for all, all for one: We are connected and by demonstrating Information Security Solidarity from rich countries, we also foster least developed countries’ information security: in return rich countries benefit from fewer attacks: we remain all connected!

In support of the millennium development goals of a more wealth and gender balanced future and in preventing conflicts in these respect we engage for information security.
Detailed description
  Goal: The main aim of ISES is to provide a platform for discussion on ICT Security by experts from different countries and different advancement. The current situation in different countries is discussed openly in terms of ICT security, strategies and implementation. The debate and dialogue on IT security models applied by least developed and wealthy nations creates inspiration for new action and mutual support: the resulting actions should improve ICT security readiness and lead to global minimum security standards compliance.
  Background: There is a growing concern about security when using technology globally. This indicates the need for a structured approach to knowledge and skills development among the users. For developing nations, ICT is a key component in improving the quality of life and participation in global economic activities. Being able to operate ICT is therefore essential. But not being able to operate devices securely and protect them against attack does not harm just the poorest population – it also harms the wealthy regions. Failure to this limits their economic and social goals, widening the gap between the rich and the poor. An attack on one unsecure system can affect the rest of cyberspace. Information security depends on user behaviour and protection, access to secure and protective software. National efforts such as cyber laws, forensic capabilities, and incident response capabilities are crucial. Current cyber models appear not to perform as they should, and we need to consider secure, vigilant and resilient cyber models for risk management and for driving innovation in the cyber world. Such models could minimise emerging cyber threats globally and increase trust in cyberspace and especially in emerging economies where ICT plays an important part in the future economy, and where cyber security is at an early stage.

The discussion will include:
  • current situation on IT security in developing world
  • identify what are the actual policies/strategies in place
  • identify what models are working for implementation
  • identify what challenges being faced on implementation
  • agree on key concepts for further discussion
