Wcs 2012 - 2012 Third Worldwide Cybersecurity Summit (Wcs)

The Worldwide Cybersecurity Summit is a unique event that convenes experts, stakeholders and decision-makers from industry, government and academia to advance international policy to promote the security, stability and safety of cyberspace. As with the first two, this 3rd Summit is sponsored by the EastWest Institute, in partnership with its technical co-sponsor, the IEEE.
Consistent with EWI’s reputation as a “think-and-do tank,” the Summit fosters problem solving and solution recommendations for difficult international and consequential policy gaps in cyberspace, i.e. the internationally-focused Agreements, Standards, Policies and Regulations (ASPR) gaps. Ultimately, the Summit’s format tackles the issues of mistrust and the confidence building necessary for global cooperation. The Summit prefers papers focused on ASPR gaps rather than strictly technology focused papers.
Papers are sought for international policy-related aspects of cybersecurity, including:
> Worldwide Governance, Frameworks and Protocols for the day-to-day behavior, in cyberspace, policing cyberspace and the conduct of cyber conflict.
> Worldwide strategies and mechanisms for the reliability and resilience of the supply chain, infrastructure and emerging capabilities (e.g., the mobile ecosystem).
> Worldwide response strategies and mechanisms to cyber crisis (e.g., international priority communications, and trusted information sharing).
> Worldwide issues, awareness and education (e.g., protecting youth, spam and the private public partnerships need to secure the global economy).
