Anne-Marie Buzatu Executive Director, ICT4Peace, participated at the high-level panel at the 2024 UNIDIR — UN Institute for Disarmament Research Cyber Stability Conference: Unpacking Cyber Threats to International Peace and Security at the UN in New York,  Friday 1 March 2024. (See program and recording here).

The Session covered these topics:

“How does the complexity of the threat actor landscape in the cyber domain impact the implementation of responsible State behaviour? How can such framework be used to prevent, disrupt or mitigate such impact? What other mechanisms outside of the UN could be leveraged?

While the framework of responsible behaviour has been designed by states and for states, malicious acts conducted by a broader range of actors can severely undermine national, regional and international peace and security. This session aims to highlight both the main challenges for the implementation of the framework deriving from the complex web of actors operating in the ICT domain as well as how can the implementation of the framework provide states the tools and capacity to manage such complexity. In addition, this session will also explore how other mechanisms outside of the UN could be leveraged to reinforce, complement or supplement the framework of responsible state behaviour in dealing with the complexity of the threat actor’s landscape.”
