3. Understanding cyber security A convergence of three trends: • Global benefits of ICTs • Supply-side, such as e-government • Demand-side, such as connectivity

4. 1. Global benefits of ICTs • ICTs contribute strongly to economic growth and better social outcomes • Benchmarking the information society is important in order for policy-makers to understand the factors behind it and how to achieve improved outcomes

5. 2. Supply-side, such as e-government • Information and service delivery • Transparency and accountability • Link to broader development objectives • Digital by default

6. 3. Demand-side, such as connectivity Source: World Bank | World Development Indicators database

7. E-government usage • In 1990, the American tax authority, the IRS, received 4m online tax filings (the first year such service was available) • In 2000, the number rose to 35m • In 2010, online tax filings surpassed 100m • In 2013, there were 114m online tax returns

8. Measuring e-government • Benchmarking global e-government development since 2003 to “inform and improve the understanding of policy makers’ choices to shape their e-government programs” (UN 2004) • The survey measures “the willingness and capacity of countries to use online and mobile technology in the execution of government functions” (UN 2010)

9. Current UN methodology • The UN E-Government Development Index is composed of three indices: • Human capital index • Telecommunications infrastructure index • Online service index For more information: www.unpan.org/egovkb/

10. The online service index • Supply-side measurement approach, which means that websites are visited by researchers to evaluate what is available on them (i.e. the supply of information and services) • Every UN member state is assessed (now 193) • A defined set of websites are evaluated, primarily the national portal of each country or its equivalent • Almost all questions in the survey are binary, i.e. does the feature exist or not

11. Implementation • Every website assessed in its primary language • Researchers go through training sessions and are provided with specific instructions on how to score questions, as well as provided actual website examples • Researchers take a citizen approach, which means they try to find the information within a reasonable amount of time • Assessment takes place during a specific period of time (the “survey window”)

12. A quick case study on finding mobile services on www.gov.sg How many national government websites around the world have a feature that offers to send alerts to mobile phones? Step 1: Go to citizen & residents section

13. How many national government websites around the world have a feature that offers to send alerts to mobile phones? Step 2: Go to mobile services sub-section

14. How many national government websites around the world have a feature that offers to send alerts to mobile phones? Step 3: Confirm that Singapore offers it Answer: In 2010, 25 out of 192 countries

17. Enter cyber security

18. Understanding cyber threats • Politically motivated threats:cyber warfare, cyber terrorism, espionage and hacktivism • Non-politically motivated threats:typically financially motivated, such as cyber crime, intellectual property theft, and fraud, but also hacking for fun or retribution, for example, from a disgruntled employee

19. Singapore vs Anonymous Hacked version of a blog hosted by The Straits Times on October 31, 2013

20. South Korea vs ? • Attacks in 2009, 2011, and 2013 • On March 20, 2013, South Korean television stations and financial institutions suffered from frozen computer terminals • ATMs and mobile payments were also affected • More than 48,000 computers and servers in South Korea were shut down

21. Critical infrastructures • Financial services, telecommunications, energy, etc. • Politically-motivated attacks with offline consequences • The 2010 Stuxnet attack

24. Mobility • An opportunity to improve efficiency – for criminals too • Number of mobile malware in 2013 more than doubled from 2012 Source: World Bank | World Development Indicators database

25. Vietnam • Vietnam is among the top five countries with the highest number of unique attacked mobile users • In addition, 78 out of 100 government websites with the domain “gov.vn” has “seriously” poor security systems • Attacks can compromise trust Viet Nam News, March 6, 2014

26. Are you at risk? • An increase in usage means an increase in dependency • Annual cost of cyber crime around the world has been estimated by Norton, a security company, to be about USD 110bn • About 75% of organizations suffer from a cyber attack every year • A simple solution to mitigate risk: • According to Verizon, 96% of cyber breaches are avoidable through simple controls • Awareness, awareness, awareness

28. ITU Global Cybersecurity Index

29. International Multistakeholder Partnership Against Cyber Threats

30. ITU Global Cybersecurity Agenda (GCA) Business opportunities across five areas: 1. Legal measures 2. Technical and procedural measures 3. Organizational structures 4. Capacity building 5. International cooperation

31. Recent developments • Edward Snowden • New threats: from hackers to nation-states • New challenges: localization strategies and security as a competitive advantage • Lack of international collaboration means domestic opportunities • Governments cannot go it alone; a role for the private sector and NGOs

33. Solution to cyber security is not about technology but people • Compared with just a decade ago, governments have made significant progress in expanding ICT access and the demand from users has risen accordingly • But just as crime has always been part of history, cyber security is likely to continue well into the future, especially since the two are increasingly intertwined • Thereis a need for more information at all levels in order to better understand cyber security • Every case is different, yet fundamentally the same
