Notes from the video examining the 3^rd ICT Best Practices Forum, recently hosted in Burkina Faso:

• Over 300 government & corporate leaders from 55 countries discussed solutions to online threats to national security, infrastructure, and national services
• Global increase of 8.9% malware over first half of year
• Global concern needs a global response
• Increased collaboration, legislation, and education are needed
• Few countries have legislation to process criminals
• Cybersecurity doesn’t rank highly among priorities of developing nations
• Developed nations should pay attention – a single wave of attacks on America could exceed $700 billion
• Costs already exceed $1 trillion annually
• Sec Gen. of ITU: we are as strong as the weakest link, every country must put in place a national legal and regulatory framework so we can criminalize crime
• President of Burkina Faso: Next step should be international summit to address cyber security, like similar events on WMDs and nuclear weapons
