International Cyber Center

Description:

Andy Purdy is working with Dr. Arun Sood of George Mason University to build an International Cyber Center (ICC) to promote a strategic approach to global cyber issues (often referred to internationally as ICT, information and communication technologies). Among the issues of interest to the ICC are:

• to help bring IT to the emerging world while enhancing security, protecting privacy, and minimizing the impact on the environment;
• to promote CSIRT capacity building in the developing world;
• to promote strategic collaboration among law enforcement, others in government, academia, and the private sector, to collect and share information about the most significant malicious actors and enablers and reduce the frequency, impact, and risk of their activity and the vulnerabilities they exploit; and to promote cyber security awareness; and
• to create an international cyber R&D conference series to promote information sharing and collaboration among government, academia, and private companies to better assess and mitigate the cyber risk to the global information infrastructure and address the long-term hard problems of cyberspace.
