Cyber Security: A National Priority in a Global Context

WORKSHOP 6: CYBER SECURITY: A NATIONAL PRIORITY IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT
Cyber security issues are of increasing importance and attention and have the potential to impact all Internet users from civil society, the private sector, academia and governments. The aim of the session is to discuss efforts in the United States to address cyber security challenges and the relationship between those efforts and global Internet operations and cyber security concerns. How do existing efforts complement one another; where are there tensions or missed opportunities for collaboration? What are the broader implications for the relationship between civil liberties, innovation, and security? What roles and responsibilities do different stakeholders play and how should they be carried out? How are domestic objectives and policies viewed in the larger global context, including Internet governance?
