1. 11 Cybersecurity & Cybersecurity & Child Online Protection (COP) 14-15 February 2012 Colombo, Sri Lanka Eun-Ju Kim, Ph.D. Regional Director ITU Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific

2. Key Cybersecurity Challenges  Lack of adequate and interoperable national or regional legal frameworks  Lack of secure software and ICT-based applications  Lack of appropriate national and global organizational structures to deal with cyber incidents  Lack of information security professionals, skills within governments, and basic awareness among users  Lack of international cooperation between industry experts, law enforcements, regulators, academia & international organizations, etc. to address a global challenge  Misuse of domain names and numbers etc. Cybersecurity not seen yet as a cross-sector, multi-dimensional concern. Still seen as a technical/technology problem.

11. Conclusion 11  While it will never be possible to completely remove all risks, drawing together an effective package of policies and practices, infrastructure and technology, awareness and communication can do a great deal to help.  The international cooperation, based on a multi-stakeholder approach and the belief that every organization – whether online or mobile, educator or legislator, technical expert or industry body – has something to contribute.  Moreover, the online world respects neither boundaries nor borders, so creating a safe cyber-environment requires cooperation.  By working together with ITU, all interested stakeholders and countries can achieve this critical international collaboration, confronting child online threats with a dynamic and unified coalition.
