A fundamental role of ITU, following
the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) and the 2010
ITU Plenipotentiary Conference, is to build confidence and security
in the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs).
At WSIS, Heads of States and world leaders entrusted ITU to take the lead in
coordinating international efforts in the field of cybersecurity,
as the sole Facilitator of
Action Line C5, "Building confidence and security in the
use of ICTs".
