Equal timing is given for both online and offline participants. Finally the moderator will wrap up the session that takes around 5 minutes.
The topic that is being discussed as part of the workshop proposal entitled as " Threat Intelligence- its Diligence in handling Cyber Threats" is closely related to the theme Cyber Security and the sub-theme Cyber Security Best Practices. This workshop will be directly related to the IGF 2018 theme as it will provide an important discussion on the effectiveness of handling cyber threats through cyber threat intelligence and its implications.
As Cyber Security has become one of the major issue to all the online community and to all the sectors of development and growth, managing and handling cyber risks and threats is a real challenge and a thrust area of research. The workshop title proposed discusses on the topic of threat intelligence and its applicability in handling cyber threats and is it useful to with applying threat intelligence architecture and is it worth spending on building such costly frameworks.
Cybersecurity is a global problem and hence the solution should also be given globally, but in reality, there are lot of differences in the approaches through which this problem is handled based on the Government, rules and policies region wide hence such workshop proposal can give a great opening to globally deal with the problem of handling the cyber security issues.
The purpose of this workshop is to survey and share experiences from diverse groups and to generate best practices based on the perception of the stakeholders and to initiate new ideas and policies that can boost up and strengthen the security levels of the cyber space.
In order to ensure equal offline and online participation, online attendees will have their own interventions and questions queue and microphone, which will rotate equally with the microphone in the room. The moderator will work closely with the online moderator in order to balance online and offline participation during the workshop.
The moderator in the room will be trained on how to alternate offline contributions and online contributions from the remote public. Online participants will speak to the room when possible, with a backup for text input with online moderator representation to the room when necessary and appropriate. Remote Hubs can be set up in developing countries and the public are encouraged to participate online into the discussion to further enrich on the concept of building the best security policies practices.
