Cybersecurity threats represent great risks for companies and users that can affect international stability in cyberspace and trust in the use of ICT systems; identifying and fixing them is therefore crucial. To do so, it is essential to foster state-to-state, industry-to-industry and state-to-industry collaboration. However, these stakeholders often have competing interests, which makes collaboration challenging. On this panel, we will seek to identify the most pressing challenges as identified by  governments and industry, and propose recommendations to address them. We will be looking to share ideas and good practices from across the board with the intention of finding a workable framework to the benefit of all stakeholders.

Cyber-attacks undermine trust in the ICT ecosystem, and this in turn imperils the SDGs. In this session, we will discuss the idea of building a collaborative cyberspace that fosters state-to-state, industry-to-industry, and state-to-industry dialogue to strengthen trust between these stakeholders.  We will also touch on the role of the international community in promoting this type of dynamic in the cyberspace. Finally, panellists will be invited to share ideas on confidence-building measures to foster trustworthiness in the international ICT ecosystem, and on how to support capacity building by various stakeholders.
