SUMMARY:FIRST Good Practice Webinar Series Session 4 - Cyber Diplomacy: Strengthening Collaboration Among National CSIRTs Confirmation
DESCRIPTION:On 27 November\, Anastasiya Kazakova\, Cyber Diplomacy Knowledge Fellow at Diplo and Geneva Dialogue Project Coordinator\, delivered a presentation on recent developments in the UN cyber negotiations and discussed practical avenues for African security teams to strengthen their engagement in cyber diplomacy. The session took place as part of the FIRST Good Practice Webinar Series (Season 4)\, a programme designed to explore how technical cooperation\, information sharing\, and diplomatic engagement can reinforce trust and operational collaboration among national and sectoral CSIRTs. \nThe series was delivered courtesy of the FIRST Africa Regional Liaison initiative\, made possible through the generous support of UK International Development as part of the Africa Cyber Programme. \nThe Webinar Series\, led by Lawrence Muchilwa\, Africa Regional Liaison at FIRST\, aimed to examine how cyber diplomacy is increasingly shaping effective CSIRT-to-CSIRT cooperation\, as well as to identify the diplomatic and operational factors that enable trust\, interoperability\, and coordination among national CSIRTs. In doing so\, the series also works to generate practical recommendations for strengthening regional and international partnerships in cyber incident management. \nIn her intervention\, Anastasiya highlighted the key outcomes of the current UN Open-Ended Working Group negotiations and explained how African security teams can contribute more actively to cyber diplomacy processes. She emphasised the importance of bringing technical expertise into national deliberations on cyber norms\, participating in international dialogue platforms\, and using multistakeholder initiatives to support capacity-building and regional resilience. \nThe webinar also featured presentations from two additional speakers. Ellah Hamwaka\, Incident Response Officer and former representative of Malawi to the UN OEWG on ICT security\, shared insights from her involvement in shaping national positions on cyber stability\, norms\, and cooperation. Emmanuella Darkwah\, Senior Manager for International Cooperation\, drew on her experience participating in the UN OEWG on Developments in ICTs in the Context of International Security\, highlighting the value of CSIRT perspectives in multilateral cybersecurity discussions. Together\, the speakers underscored the growing need for stronger engagement between technical and diplomatic communities and stressed the potential for African CSIRTs to play a more influential role in shaping responsible state behaviour in cyberspace.

SUMMARY:Shared code\, shared risk: How are security responsibilities allocated?Security and governance of open source software: Geneva Dialogue Masterclass #1
DESCRIPTION:Cyber stability is increasingly tested by geopolitical fragmentation\, rapid technological change\, and tightly coupled digital supply chains. Open source software sits at the centre of these dynamics: widely embedded in critical digital infrastructure\, globally developed\, and governed through models that were not designed for today’s security\, policy\, and geopolitical pressures. \nIn 2026\, the Geneva Dialogue will focus on stress-testing cybersecurity practices and agreed cyber norms under real-world conditions. Through a scenario-based engagement framework\, the Dialogue brings together policymakers\, private sector actors\, technical communities\, and civil society to examine how responsibilities\, incentives\, and governance arrangements hold up when systems are under strain\, with insights from Costin G. Raiu\, Mika Lauhde\, and Roman Zhukov. \nThis masterclass opens the first thematic cycle of 2026\, dedicated to the security and governance of open source software. Its purpose is to establish a shared analytical baseline: how OSS functions as a systemic dependency; how security responsibilities are distributed across maintainers\, vendors\, users\, and public authorities; and where current governance approaches struggle to manage risk\, accountability\, and resilience at scale. The session is designed to bridge policy and technical perspectives and to frame the key questions that will be explored in depth during the subsequent scenario-based consultation.

SUMMARY:Emerging technologies and cybersecurity: Can governance adapt to speed\, scale\, and uncertainty? Geneva Dialogue Masterclass #2
DESCRIPTION:Cyber stability faces growing pressure from geopolitical fragmentation\, rapid technological change\, and interconnected digital supply chains. Emerging technologies — AI\, advanced automation\, and quantum computing — are accelerating cyber capabilities\, reshaping how vulnerabilities are discovered\, defences are built\, and operations conducted. Some compress decision timelines; others challenge foundational assumptions about encryption and systemic risk. As capabilities evolve\, responsibilities across developers\, deployers\, infrastructure operators\, and states become harder to delineate\, and existing governance frameworks struggle to keep pace. \nIn 2026\, the Geneva Dialogue stress-tests cybersecurity practices and agreed cyber norms under real-world conditions\, bringing together policymakers\, the private sector\, technical communities\, and civil society through a scenario-based engagement framework. \nThis masterclass is part of a series under the 2026 Geneva Dialogue work programme to stress-test cyber norms. It aims to establish a shared analytical baseline: how technological acceleration is reshaping capabilities and redistributing risk — and where existing governance approaches may fall short under conditions of systemic transformation. \nIt follows the first masterclass in the series\, Shared Code\, Shared Risk: How Are Security Responsibilities Allocated?\, which examined security responsibilities in open-source software supply chains.  \nThe session requires registration.\nIts findings will directly inform the third chapter of the Geneva Manual on Responsible Behaviour in Cyberspace.

SUMMARY:Cyber stability under pressure: A reality check for cyber norms in an era of AI-driven cyber risks
DESCRIPTION:Time: 08:00-10:30 UTC / 10:00–12:30 CEST \nOn-site registration: RSVP to genevadialogue@diplomacy.edu\, and also register for the Geneva Cyber Week\, before 30 April \n2026 Geneva Cyber Week\nCyber stability is under increasing strain — not only from more sophisticated attacks\, but from the rapid integration of artificial intelligence into both the tools used to carry them out and those used to defend against them. The same technology that makes defenders faster also makes attackers faster. The same AI model that helps a security team identify weaknesses in their own systems can help an adversary find them first. \nAt the same time\, several major AI providers  have revised the terms governing how their models may be used\, including in some cases terms that previously restricted military and national security applications. Governments in a number of jurisdictions have actively sought to expand their access to commercial AI capabilities for defence and intelligence purposes. There is evidence that criminal and APT groups — including those allegedly affiliated with states — are increasingly adopting commercial AI tools to automate cyber attacks at greater scale\, while reducing the investment in time and human resources required. Commercial AI security products\, including those being procured by critical infrastructure operators\, are built on underlying models whose permitted uses and governance terms may not be fully visible to the organisations deploying them. \nThis raises fundamental questions: when the same AI tools serve both attack and defence\, what does “responsible use” actually mean in practice? Who sets the boundaries\, and what happens when those boundaries are moved? How do existing cyber norms hold up when the technology they are supposed to govern has changed faster than the norms themselves?This scenario-based session takes place during the Geneva Cyber Week and is open to both onsite and online participants. It brings together experts and decision-makers from across stakeholder groups — including public policymakers\, critical infrastructure operators\, technology providers\, cybersecurity practitioners\, AI governance specialists\, compliance and risk professionals\, and civil society and academic experts. \nThe session will be held under the Chatham House Rule. \nIts findings will directly inform the third chapter of the Geneva Manual on Responsible Behaviour in Cyberspace. To join online\, please RSVP at genevadialogue@diplomacy.edu.
