Cybersecurity and Cybercrime: New tools for better cyber protection


24 April 2017
12:00 - 13:30 hrs. Room XXIII, Palais des Nations
Geneva
, Switzerland

Governments and individuals are increasingly concerned about the rise of cybercrime and its consequences on privacy and security online. The traditional cybersecurity strategies include both technical and legal remedies.

According to UNCTAD's Cyberlaw Tracker, about 75% of the countries in the world had adopted cybercrime laws as of January 2017. The challenges lie increasingly in building capacity with respect to domestic enforcement and international cooperation.

In order to address these needs, this session will introduce new multi-disciplinary tools developed in cooperation among and synthesizing best practices identified by several institutions including the World Bank, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Council of Europe (CoE) the Oxford Cybersecurity Capacity Building Centre, UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), UN Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI), the Supreme Prosecutors Office of the Republic of Korea and UNCTAD.
