Cybersecurity challenges include potential unauthorized access to, destruction of, and modification of information transmitted on ICT networks. However, the consequences of such challenges can be mitigated by increasing awareness of cybersecurity issues and sharing successful best practices employed by policy-makers and businesses and through collaborating with other stakeholders. In addition, a culture of cybersecurity can promote trust and confidence in these networks, stimulate secure usage, ensure protection of data and privacy while enhancing access and trade, and enable nations to better achieve the economic and social development benefits of the information society. c) Educational materials for use in workshops, seminars, etc.
