The legal measures, technical and procedural measures and organizational structures need to be undertaken at the national and regional levels but also harmonized at the international level. The last two pillars, capacity building and international cooperation, cross-cut in all areas (see figure below). In order to carry out its Agenda, ITU will fully engage its Member States and all the world's players in its activities. It will collaborate closely with its partners to identify current challenges, consider emerging and future threats, and propose global strategies to meet the goals of the Agenda.

The Global Cybersecurity Agenda will facilitate the implementation of activities aimed at meeting ITU Strategic Goals in this domain by developing and proposing forward-looking global strategies using a wide range of expertise and taking account of existing initiatives.
