Relevance:
As national cybersecurity strategies become more common, it is important that countries implement cybersecurity measures through a risk-based approach. Simply put, cybersecurity policymaking must take into account the social and economic opportunities offered by the digital environment when solving security problems, while also guaranteeing fundamental rights. This dynamic balance between cybersecurity, economic development and human rights requires answers not limited to technical solutions strictly aimed at eliminating the threat. On the contrary, in order to reap the social and economic benefits of digitalization, while protecting fundamental values, stakeholders must reduce risk to an acceptable level. What level of security risk would be deemed acceptable at national level? More specifically, how stakeholders with different interests and without a shared understanding of cybersecurity could find this balance?
Session Content:
The proposed workshop itself will be structured as follows to ensure an integrative discussion: - Introduction of the issues for discussion - Presentation of Background Paper - Moderator will then give the floor to each speaker to present for 5 minutes each on the topics - Moderator will encourage the audience (in situ and online) to add their experience to the debate and to ask questions to the different speakers - Concluding remarks (each speaker to provide a 3 minutes final thoughts) Total: 1.5 hours
Interventions:
The purpose of this roundtable session is to address the relevance of balancing Cybersecurity, Human Rights and Economic Development issues and explore best practices applied in different regions and stakeholder groups. Particularly, it will be discussed coordination and collaboration models between different stakeholder groups aimed at balancing cybersecurity, economic objectives and fundamental values. Speakers will share their expertise and points of view regarding these issues, and moderator will ask for proposals and their views on how to guarantee a real balance in these three areas. Confirmed speakers cover a wide area of organizations and regions, which will provide a unique and global approach to the proposed theme. A background paper prepared by the organizers will be distributed in advance.
Diversity:
Diversity has been built in from the concept stage to the selection of the speakers and the topics to be covered. Confirmed speakers have are varied and diverse in terms of expertise, gender, geographic representation, stakeholder groups. Proposed speakers are highly qualified and renowned experts who will provide unique perspectives and insights to cybersecurity related discussions during IGF2018.
Online Participation:
Inclusive online participation in the proposed panel will be encouraged before and during the session. In advance, the opportunity for online participation will be promoted on all available channels of the participating organizations, including mailing lists and social media. Moderator will use IGF and session hashtags in order to promote discussion and questions during the panel. Besides asking online questions, moderator will also consider questions made using IGF hashtags The three core parts of the communication will be the importance of online participation for the outcomes of the IGF, the invitation to submit questions in advance which will be discussed and prioritized in the session, and technical information how online participation via the WebEx platform works. At the beginning of the session the moderator will explicitly ask online participants to take part in the debate and the online moderator will ensure that their contributions and questions are prioritized. Subject to budget availability and technical capacities of the host organization, OAS will hire interpretation for the session in order to secure a wider audience.
Discussion Facilitation:
We intent to allocate a significant amount of time to discussion and contributions from the audience and remote participation. It is envisioned that a remote moderator will be in permanent contact with remote participants and update them on the progress of the session. Remote participants will be encouraged to feed into the discussion, and their comments and remarks will be fed back to the room to incorporate them in the discussion. Moderator and speakers will set the stage and share practical cases that will generate discussion and proposals to follow. Unless strictly necessary, experts will be suggested to avoid presentations, and the format will be based on a discussion.
