Based on the first facilitation meeting held in May 2006,
work programmes in three focus areas have been initiated, in
addition to ongoing activities in the area of spam and
related threats.
- Focus Area 1 (National Strategies) involves the
development of a generic model framework or toolkit that
national policy-makers could use to develop and
implement a national cybersecurity programme.
- Focus Area 2 (Legal Frameworks) considers
capacity-building on the harmonization of cybercrime
legislation, the Council of Europe's Convention on
Cybercrime, and enforcement.
- Focus Area 3 (Watch, Warning and Incident Response)
looks at information-sharing of best practices on
developing watch, warning and incident response
capabilities.
- Focus Area 4 is dedicated to spam and related
threats.
The guiding themes for this second facilitation meeting
were: progress by stakeholders in implementation activities
in these focus areas, consideration of future framework
discussions to improve international cooperation and
coordination in the above domains as well as future work
plans.
