In this session, panelists from technical communities in Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Caribbia, along with CSO and ICANN, discussed and identified some emerging security threats and current trends. In some countries like Brazil, cyberattacks targeted personal user’s device, mostly user that did not have technical knowledge. There are also findings on lots of financial fraud targeted to end-users, which lead to challenges in finding a way on how to improve the cooperation and build bridges between communities, especially on the involvement of private sector, which now becoming more important than ever. Some of the solutions and response strategies that could be implied in the context of emerging cybersecurity threats are: maintaining open channels of communication through global operators, training for engagement with law enforcement and policy makers, so they should be aware if they see an attacks and know what to do next.

Protection of Most Vulnerable Children OnlineRoom 2, Nusa Dua Hall 1, 09.00 - 10.30 AM

THE discussion on “Protection of Most Vulnerable Children Online” talks more than child abuse and

pornography issues, it also speaks a global issue that includes online threats and liability of parents. Many developing countries now are having child online protection issue. For instance, in Hong Kong, the rate of cyber-bullying is very high and the outcome of cyber-bullying can result in suicides. Not just in Hong Kong, cyber-bullying also happens in other parts of the countries, and it not only happened to vulnerable youth but also youths of a broken home, etc. Reports from the Netherlands have been found that online sex-abuse case happened to children from all kinds of society, and the devastating part is that these children bear threats to each other, it is not only happening to vulnerable children. To tackle the issue, we can use Germany and the United Kingdom’s approaches. But it is important to provide education not only to the children, but also to their parents, law enforcements, social workers with the current use of technology.

In Day 1 IGF 2013 workshop on “Lesson from the History of Cyber Conflict”, panelists from technical communities, CSO

and government discussed that even from earliest history, cyberspace disruptions caused by malicious actors, have gone beyond being mere technical or criminal problems.

attack, defend, and spy on each other, typically for political or other national security purposes. Cyberconflict has implications on Internet governance. Cyberattacks and hacktivisms, are examples of disruptions that commonly happened. And also conflicts between nations that happened to be in cyberspace. Government could not handle the cyberconflict alone, because the private sector (ISP) is the one that has resources. So the non-state actors (like telecommunications providers, cybersecurity companies, and non-government cyber-sharing organizations) played the most central role. Reporter: Hersinta
