CYBERCRIME AND
INTERNATIONAL POLICY

2. Cyberspace is defined as ”a domain characterized by the use
of electronics and the electromagnetic spectrum to store,
modify, and exchange data via networked systems and
associated physical infrastructures.”
Cyberspace is the dynamic, globally interconnected information
infrastructure, critical and essential to our nation’s security and
economy, and the interaction of modern society.
Cyberspace is also the global communications infrastructure
underlying modern technological society. It is a critically elemental
framework that directly impacts our businesses, essential
services, national and economic security, and personal lives.
Cybersecurity embraces both the public and private sectors,
and spans a broad range of issues related to national security,
whether through terrorism, crime, or industrial espionage.
One form of cybercrime, or e-crime, is industrial cyber-espionage
in which one company actively attacks another, through
cyberspace, to acquire high-value information.
Cyber-terrorism, or e-terrorism, presents challenges for the
future. We must be prepared for terrorists, seeking to take
advantage of our increasing internet dependency, to attack or
disable control
of our critical infrastructures and key systems.
Cybersecurity is defined as “the protection and control of
data, physical systems, networks, and network infrastructures.”
Information Intelligence is defined as “knowledge
resulting from discovery, collection, processing,
integration, analysis, evaluation, interpretation,
and/or understanding of available information.”
The C3i Group provides leadership on issues relating to privacy
and the free flow of information in a secure and reliable manner.
The C3i Group will:
n Engage the international community to build consensus on the
broad principles that will sustain and enhance the prosperity,
security, and openness of our cyber-world
n Advocate for strengthening of the rule of law in cyberspace
through the promotion of the Convention on Cybercrime of the
Council of Europe (also known as the Budapest Convention on
Cybercrime), the leading treaty to combat cybercrime
internationally.
The Convention on Cybercrime of the Council of Europe is
the only binding international instrument on the issue of
cybercrime. The Convention serves as a guideline for any
country developing comprehensive national legislation
against cybercrime and as a framework for international
cooperation between state parties to this treaty.
n Work closely with public-private sector and academic partners
on cyberspace initiatives by promoting relationships,
cooperation, and collaboration for Information and
Communications Technology (ICT) development between
international counterpart agencies engaged in cyber capacity-
building
n Develop our (common) ability to adequately and proactively
prevent, detect, and defend against and recover from the full
range of national and domestic security threats we face in
cyberspace
n Organize and coordinate efforts focusing research and
development programs to improve cybersecurity through joint
venture – research and development proposals providing joint
and coordinated funding and project collaboration to ensure
transition to use of cyber-technologies
Cyberspace (and cybersecurity) provide the essential foundation
for prospects, opportunities, and development within any
modern global economy. Many of the economic advantages and
technological advancements and benefits we have today would
not be possible without the internet and cyberspace.
The C3i Group focuses primarily on the concerns at hand relating
to cybercrime, which is a systemic issue when dealing in
cyberspace, while empowering cybersecurity, cyber-innovation,
and prosperity.
Lack of International Policy
to Deal with Cybercrime
Only major industrialized countries have established,
and routinely enforce, policies and laws regarding
hacking, cybercrime, and cyber-attacks.
The absence of international policy makes
investigation of cybercrimes difficult if not,
in some cases, next to impossible.
