Limiter l’utilisation à des fins malveillantes des menaces et vulnérabilités dans les TIC

Summary

Recent trends in ICT threats and vulnerabilities reveal significant risks to national and international security. Attackers exploit various tools and security flaws for malicious purposes, often facilitated by dynamics like criminal markets, geopolitical tensions, and issues within the tech industry. Despite ongoing discussions and policies, responses from both public and private sectors remain inadequate. The tech industry, especially private companies, plays a crucial role in addressing these challenges through both reactive measures (operational) and proactive efforts (normative), aiming to influence state and industry behavior. The report emphasizes the need for better mechanisms to enhance security in product design and development, address criminal and geopolitical dynamics, and foster transparency in private sector initiatives. This would help build trust and identify gaps in current policies. The report concludes with a call for public and private actors to align their responses with the common good to strengthen international peace and security, despite the complexity of current global relations.
