Setting Achievable Goals

The Global Cybersecurity Agenda is made up of 7 main goals:

    1 Development of model cybercrime legislation that is globally applicable and interoperable with existing national and regional legislative measures, and the creation of a framework for legislative harmonization for interested countries.

    2 Global endorsement of national strategies and a generic policy model to deal with cybercrime through the creation of appropriate national and regional organizational structures.

    3 Development of a strategy for the establishment of globally accepted minimum security criteria and accreditation schemes for software applications and systems through cooperation with existing national and regional public and private sector initiatives.

    4 Creation of a global framework for watch, warning and incident response to ensure cross-border coordination between new and existing initiatives.

    5 Creation and endorsement of a generic and universal digital identity system and the necessary organizational structures to ensure the recognition of digital credentials for individuals across geographical boundaries.

    6 Development of a global strategy to facilitate human and institutional capacity-building to enhance knowledge and know-how across sectors and in all the above-mentioned areas.

    7 Development of a global multi-stakeholder strategy and framework for international cooperation and coordination in all the above-mentioned areas.

These seven goals will be refined and updated on an ongoing basis through the work of the High-Level Experts Group (HLEG) on Cybersecurity.
