Security in the use of
ICTs
APT-ITU workshop on the International
Telecommunications Regulations
Bangkok, 6-8 February 2012
Preetam Maloor, ITU
Current Proposalsto WCIT regarding theITRs
• The 1988 ITR does not contain explicit provisions on security in
the use of ICTs
– The reference in Article 9 to avoiding technical harm was
added in light of the Morris worm, or Internet worm of 2
November 1988.
• Some specific proposals have been submitted to CWG-WCIT that
are clearly related to Cybersecurity
– Adding new articles on security in the use of ICTs
– Amending existing articles (e.g. article 8), in order to include
security related elements
– Making specific references to countermeasures against spam
(in line with WTPF Opinion 6)
There is no consensus on the proposals
ITU’s role and mandate

ITU plays an important role in resolving new and emerging issues (PP-10
Resolution 171) and has developed a number of activities with regard to
building confidence and security in the use of ICTs
Following the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), Heads of States
and world leaders entrusted ITU to take the lead in coordinating international
efforts as the sole Facilitator of Action Line C5, "Building confidence and
security in the use of ICTs".
Resolutions from PP, WTSA, WTDC call upon more ITU involvement in building
confidence and security in the use of ICTs
In the Global Cybersecurity Agenda (GCA), ITU promotes international
cooperation aimed at proposing strategies for solutions to enhance confidence
and security in the use of ICTs
ITU-T Study Group 17 is the Lead Study Group for Telecommunication security,
and ITU-T Lead Study Group for Identity management
ITU-D Study Group 1 Question 22 on Securing information and communication
networks: best practices for developing a culture of cybersecurity
Global Challenges
• The global cyber threat landscape
• The definitions
• International cooperation and agreed international
norms and principles
• International standards
• The interdependencies

Global Challenges -The definitions
• There is not yet a globally accepted definition of security
in the use of ICTs
• IGOs and SDOs have their own definition
– ITU-T Recommendation X.1205
• Member States might use different definitions
– 2009 US National Infrastructure Protection Plan
– Dutch national strategy
• Dictionaries provide other definition
– Oxford dictionary
Global Challenges -International cooperation and
agreed international norms and principles
• Cyberattacks can originate and strike anywhere around the globe.
• There have been calls for:
– norms and principles agreed by the international community
for acceptable state behavior in cyberspace
– international minimum standard of relevant offences
internationally imposed
– harmonized legal frameworks, where domestic laws contain
provisions on international cooperation
Cyber threats are inherently international in scope and
require multi-stakeholder international cooperation
Global Challenges -International standards
• Building Security in the use of ICTs require legal,
organizational and technical capabilities
• Standards can complement the overall efforts, providing
interoperability and conformance of security while meeting
regulatory constraints of countries and regions
• The adoption of common technical standards can also help
developing countries and bring them up to speed (bridging
the standardization gap)
Global Challenges -Interdependencies
• Telecom Sector and the Internet are considered as
interconnected and interdependent systems
• Infrastructures that have been in isolation so far, are being
increasingly supported by telecommunication (e.g. industrial
automation networks, intelligent transportation systems (ITS),
e-government networks)
• This paradigm shift of interconnected systems makes ICTs
susceptible to cyberattacks of unforeseeable impact
Overview of the current situation at
national, regional, and international
level
• The security in the use of ICTs have been an increasing
international concern over the past 10 years.
• Countries, regional and international organizations started to
elaborate and develop Cybersecurity policies and strategies
– National efforts (National strategies and plans – e.g. US,
UK, Germany, Estonia, Australia, Malaysia, South Korea
and Brazil, among others – India and South Africa also
started)
– Regional and cross regional efforts (EU initiatives, APEC,
ASEAN, CoE, ENISA, FIRST, G8, Meridian, NATO, AOS,
OECD)
– International efforts (IMPACT, IEEE, IEC, ISO, INTREPOL,
UNODC)
