Cyber Security (2000 - 2008)
Cyber Security has been a key focus of the GBDe since its introduction into the GBDe working groups in April 2000.
The GBDe supports the attempts to establish a "culture of security" and, during 2002, developed a framework under which to promote this concept from a business perspective.
- In particular the GBDe has called for:
- Increased collaboration between business and governments both internationally and locally in order to protect the Internet from external attacks. Specific goals include the promotion of voluntary information sharing on cyber crimes and cyber attacks within industry, with the assistance of governments, and the close cooperation of industry with investigation authorities on various responses to cyber crimes.
- Greater awareness of information security by network providers, individual users and SMEs to improve the quality of security throughout the network and makes it less susceptible to viruses and cyber attacks.
- Governments should be actively engaged in defending critical national infrastructure and cooperate with industry to ensure that measures do not cause unnecessary damage to normal business operations.
- Information sharing between separate context. For this purpose industry and governments create a reporting system that would collect all the cases found, and that industry undertake to report all the attacks.
- Development ofprocesses by business for security management and the establishment of a security management system, operated and initiated by senior management or denial-of-service attacks should be discussed including: a security policy, appointment of a Chief Information Security Officer, establishment, design and operation of security management systems and programs.
- Emphasis on regulatory measures enabling more effective education, awareness and deterrence rather than additional enforcement mechanism imposing additional costs on business.
- Risk assessment of information systems, particularly by transnational corporations. Because of the growing interconnectivity of information systems and networks, risk assessment should include consideration of the potential harm that may originate from others or be caused to others.
