A global opinion survey to assess trust of online transactions and awareness of
cybersecurity measures was conducted by ITU in an effort to promote global
cybersecurity, the theme of this year’s World Telecommunication Day, celebrated on 17 May to commemorate the founding of ITU in 1865.
The aim of the
survey is to highlight the serious challenges of ensuring the safety and
security of networked information and communication systems. This also supports
the work carried out in the framework of Action Line C5 of the Plan of Action of
the World Summit of the Information Society (WSIS) dealing with “Building
confidence and security in the use of ICT” for which ITU is the
facilitator/moderator.
While the first results of the survey were
announced on 17 May 2006, based on those having replied before 10 May, the
survey remains available. The data collected through this ongoing exercise aims
at helping decision-makers in assessing the
cyberspace "trust" level with a view to reviewing national and corporate
strategies and priorities.
