Countless meetings, international conferences and growing awareness of the challenges posed by increased cyber-vulernability, have failed to deliver significant progress on developing cross-border agreements on key issues, in particular relating to Critical Infrastructure Protection. The nature of the challenges inherent in the development of cybersecurity policy at a national level have been so unwieldy and complex that addressing these issues with the goal of reaching some kind of international agreement has seemed close to impossible. The Geneva Dialogue 2012 will tackle some of the most critical issues related to developing international mechanisms to ensure cybersecurity, with a particular focus on Protecting Critical Infrastructure against Cyber-Attacks.
The Geneva Dialogue 2012 will focus on the development of international sector-based mechanisms to help ensure the continued solidity resiliency and seamless functioning of global systems. This will include the development of draft guidelines for behaviour in case of an attack on critical infrastructure including minimum response times, IT assistance arrangements, private sector-based warning systems, coordinated response across borders, interfaces and collaborations between governmental institutions and multi-national critical infrastructures.
