States, businesses (including Microsoft, Kaspersky, Siemens, Google, Facebook), professional associations and civil society organizations discuss to find solutions for the regulation in cyberspace, the practicability of international law, and the responsible behaviour of States. The Paris Call for Trust and Security in Cyberspace, launched on 12 November 2018 during the Paris Peace Forum, deals with emerging and insufficiently regulated cyber challenges. The Paris Call for Trust and Security in Cyberspace The political dimension is also important, as we have seen time and again in the US elections, the cyber-attacks against the Macron campaign, the German Bundestag and other parliaments and ministries. The Internet has become an arena for geopolitical battles and the spread of disinformation. Cyber-attacks like WannaCry harmed over 200.000 computers in 150 countries world-wide, and cost an estimated $4 billion. State and non-state actors are increasingly using cyberspace and the Internet for manipulation, disruption, fraud, extortion, data-theft, and money-laundering. Because of the nature of cyberspace, it is important to engage in cyber diplomacy rather than exclusively rely on cyber defense. States use the shared and accepted rules, protocols, and behaviours, to facilitate interactions between global actors of the public and the private sector.Ĭyber diplomacy must minimize the consequences of cyber aggression, cyber-attacks to the critical infrastructure, data breaches, cybercrime, cyber espionage, online theft, and offensive cyber operations carried out by state or non-state actors. Cyber diplomacy is the art, the science, and the means by which nations, groups, or individuals conduct their affairs in cyberspace, in ways to safeguard their interests and promote their political, economic, cultural or scientific relations, while maintaining peaceful relationships.Ĭyber diplomacy involves the use of diplomatic tools and initiatives to achieve objectives in the complex and continuously evolving uncharted territory of cyberspace, as described in the national strategy for cyberspace.
