Targets: As mentioned in the session description, CSIRTs play a critical role in ensuring that the Internet remains safe and trusted for users. This session will address the SDG targets by: - Help CERT practitioners with the hope of a secure and trusted Internet to build connections and foster collaboration across national, sector and industrial boundaries - Ensure that participants have the opportunity to access a wide range of information - Discuss the intersection of Internet governance and cybersecurity and strengthen the involvement of cybersecurity professionals in the governance driven by an effective multi-stakeholder approach
Gathering
This networking session gathers cybersecurity professionals and the wider Internet governance community to exchange views and share information on activities they are involved in the IGF community through casual conversations. The session is mainly designed for those who belong to, and are working with, national, sector and commercial CSIRTs (Computer Security Incident Response Team). Anyone who is keen to explore the intersection between cybersecurity and the Internet governance is also warmly welcome to attend this session. CSIRTs play a critical function of ensuring the Internet remains safe and trusted for users. Through handling cyber incidents, CSIRTs have vast knowledge and expertise on tackling and mitigating cyber threats. Their first-hand insights are invaluable to policymakers. Hence, this session enables interaction between cybersecurity experts and policy makers/policy influencers.
As the session’s aim is to allow participants to meet others working in the field and potentially identify areas for future collaboration, participants will be randomly divided into small groups and given some minutes to briefly introduce themselves and answer guiding questions provided by organisers. Participants will come back together and then split into new groups. This process will be repeated as time allows. This hybrid networking session welcome those attending in-person and participating online. The organisers will facilitate all participants to build connections and share key takeaways discussed by onsite participants with onsite participants to facilitate interaction between the two.
Everyone will be expected to actively participate in the small breakout groups by introducing themselves, sharing about their work, and explaining their interest in the intersection of Internet governance and cybersecurity.
