Everyone has a collective responsibility for the security of the Internet: multistakeholder cross-border collaboration is an essential component.
The focus of this workshop is to address the notion of collaborative security through concrete examples and practices in addressing Unsolicited Communications (e.g. “spam”) and establishing Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRT). The discussion will also be informed by outcomes from IGF 2014 Best Practices Forums (BPFs) on both topics.
The panel members will cover the expanding multistakeholder opportunities needed to enhance cooperation between organizations and networks, and help secure vital Internet infrastructure and systems. The discussion will address the mitigation of security threats enabled by unsolicited spam as the delivery mechanism for malware, botnets, and phishing attacks and the national CSIRT model including the formation of trust relationships and voluntary cooperation among CSIRT members to enable better Internet security outcomes.
Cooperation and collaboration for Internet security has been a key enabler in the WSIS implementation and will remain essential in order to sustain the benefits of the Information Society beyond 2015.
