1. A Joint Collaborative Project by the International Telecommunication Union and ABI Research Genève, Suisse 2013-2014

2. Global Cybersecurity Index Objective The Global Cybersecurity Index (GCI) aims to measure and rank each nation state’s level of cybersecurity development in five main areas: Legal Measures Technical Measures Organizational Measures Capacity Building National and International Cooperation Goal Promote government strategies at a national level Drive implementation efforts across industries and sectors Integrate security into the core of technological progress Foster a global culture of cybersecurity Aims

3. Global Cybersecurity Index Composite indicator, aggregating a number of individual indicators. The following indicators and sub-groups have been identified, and nations will be ranked against a benchmark provided in each indicator: Conceptual Framework 1.Legal Criminal Legislation Regulation & Compliance 2.Technical CERT/CIRT/CSIRT Standards Certification 3.Organizational Policy Roadmap for Governance Responsible Agency National Benchmarking 4.Capacity Building Standardization Development Manpower Development Professional Certification Agency Certification 5.Cooperation Intra-State Cooperation Intra-Agency Cooperation Public-Private Partnerships International Cooperation

4. Global Cybersecurity Index Arab States Europe Asia Pacific Americas Commonwealth of Independent States Africa Timeframe & Project Activities Phases for each regional stage: Primary Research: Contact relevant national stakeholders to collect data Secondary Research: Internal databases, publicly-available resources Data Extraction: Organize and sort through collected data Data Input: Assess the performance of each nation state The project represents an undertaking of 12 to 18 months. Expected delivery of the full index is Q4 2014. The timeframe is split into six regional stages:
