Information and Communication
Technologies (ICTs) have been widely adopted throughout our
society, but these very same ICT systems are at severe risk
from growing cyberthreats.
Today, new and sophisticated cyberthreats,
cyberattacks and, more recently, cyberwarfare, pose strong
challenges to the safety, integrity, reliability and
confidentiality of modern communications and the networks
over which these are transmitted. Growing cyberattacks can
also be a challenge to States’ national security and
international peace.
In 2007, ITU Secretary-General launched
the Global Cybersecurity Agenda (GCA) to provide a framework
within which an international response to the growing
threats and challenges can be coordinated and addressed.
The GCA strives to engage all relevant
stakeholders in a concerted effort to build confidence and
security in the information society. This high-level debate
will provide the forum to discuss how best to promote
international cooperation.
