The COVID-19 pandemic has put the spotlight on the benefits that information and communication technologies (ICTs) can bring. But the technologies only bring those benefits to people with meaningful access. This means not just reliable Internet connectivity, but a cyberspace that is secure and trusted.
A strong cybersecurity ecosystem must be in place to protect against attacks, whether on state institutions, companies or individual web users.
In a world where nearly everything now depends on technology, the Global Cybersecurity Agenda (GCA) promises to provide a robust framework to help build confidence and security in ICT use.
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations specialized agency for ICTs, has organized a series of consultations on the GCA with governments, industry and other stakeholders.
