Objectives

‍

Shape Global Cyber Norms & Counter-Disinformation Strategies:

Promote international cooperation to develop and reinforce shared norms, principles, and frameworks that govern responsible state behavior in cyberspace. Emphasize the urgent need to build robust mechanisms for countering disinformation, influence operations, and hybrid threats that undermine public trust, democratic institutions, and social stability.

Accelerate Security Innovation:

Create a vibrant ecosystem where cybersecurity startups, MSMEs, and researchers can showcase breakthrough solutions addressing modern cyber risks. Catalyze investments, strategic partnerships, and knowledge transfer to ensure that emerging security technologies are rapidly deployed at scale across sectors and regions.

Enhance Critical-Sector Resilience:

Strengthen the ability of essential services—including energy, healthcare, banking, transportation, and public utilities—to anticipate, withstand, and recover from cyberattacks and digital disruptions. Focus on building sector-specific risk management frameworks, incident-response capabilities, and resilience-by-design principles.

Strengthen Law-Enforcement & Strategic Communications Cooperation:

Enhance collaboration between national and international law enforcement agencies, intelligence communities, and public information offices to detect, investigate, and neutralize cybercrime, cyberterrorism, and coordinated information-warfare campaigns. Promote faster cross-border information sharing, capacity building, and joint operational frameworks.

Promote Inclusive Digital & Information Literacy:

Expand access to cybersecurity education, cyber hygiene training, and media literacy programs for all sections of society, particularly vulnerable groups such as children, senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and marginalized communities. Foster resilient, informed digital citizens capable of recognizing and resisting cyber threats and disinformation tactics.

Foster Ethical AI, Emerging-Tech Governance & Info-Ops Defense:

Address the security and ethical implications of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing, AR/VR, and autonomous systems. Develop governance models that promote responsible innovation while mitigating risks associated with weaponized AI, quantum vulnerabilities, and synthetic media (deepfakes) used for information warfare.
