Cyber threats targeting critical infrastructure (CI) and assets, often undetected by the victim, have become the ‘new normal’ in today’s heightened geopolitical climate. Additionally, decision-makers are concerned not only with malicious cyber activities, but also with faulty and insufficiently secure software development practices that can cause global disruptions due to interconnected supply chains.
To maintain international security and peace, do we – both state and non-state stakeholders – know what is the right thing to do to secure critical assets? How do the agreed cyber norms support operators of critical facilities and other relevant stakeholders? Which questions should actors focus on to reduce harm from cyber threats affecting CI?
Join us on 16 October to discuss these questions in the context of the Geneva Manual on Responsible Behaviour in Cyberspace, a comprehensive guide on the implementation of cyber norms and confidence-building measures (CBMs) by non-state stakeholders. The session will take place during the 2024 Singapore International Cyber Week (SICW).
The inaugural edition of the Geneva Manual focuses on the two norms related to supply chain security and responsible reporting of ICT vulnerabilities. This session will discuss the zero-draft of the new Geneva Manual chapters on critical infrastructure protection, including the actual implementation of relevant cyber norms, and thus will help collect necessary input to finalise the next chapter of the Manual.
