RESOLUTION ON CYBER SECURITY

Recalling that in the contemporary world modern  societies significantly depend on cyberspace and the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), which has reshaped the global security environment;

Underlining that insecurity in the global  cyberspace is an obstacle for further economic development, innovation and social prosperity;

Underlining the  need for the international community to increase co-operation and information exchange in the field of cyber security because only with joint and coordinated efforts is  possible to effectively respond to the threats originating from cyberspace;
