Areas of cooperation

 Risk Management: Standards unification. Governments should utilize existing international standards and work through consensus bodies to develop and strengthen international standards for cybersecurity.

 Incident Management:Government should fully establish integrated watch center and begin evaluation and process for growing nations’ cooperation. Participants should report lessons learned from collaborative exercises as soon as possible and undertake improvement measures on a timely basis.

 Information Sharing and Privacy:Governments should clearly articulate information needs and how to promote more effective information‐sharing to address those needs; information‐sharing for cybersecurity purposes should be transparent and should comply with fair information practice principles; governments should consider how they can share more classified and sensitive information.

 Supply Chain Security: Governments should expand its participation in the international system that develops supply chain security standards and work to identify and disseminate them. Governments should then leverage these standards when it acquires technology and take steps to ensure it does not acquire counterfeit technology products.

 Innovation and Research and Development:The intergovernmental partnership should be used in a distant future to create a genuine International Cybersecurity Research and Development Plan with prioritized, national‐level objectives and a detailed road map that specifies the respective roles of each partner. The plan and its implementation road map should be regularly reviewed by the partners and adjusted as necessary.
