As the Internet and digital technologies increasingly shape our economies and societies, they also create vulnerabilities for individuals, public and private entities, critical infrastructures, and much more. The cyber threat landscape is a complex one, including issues as diverse as denial of service attacks, malware and ransomware, cyberattacks on supply chains and providers of essential services, and the weaponization of digital technologies.

How ready are countries to deal with these and other cyberthreats? What policy, regulatory and legislative measures are or need to be put in place to increase the level of cybersecurity and address cybercrime? Are national authorities empowered to implement such frameworks? And how to leverage multistakeholder, multisector and multi-level cooperation to create a more secure cyberspace? These and similar questions will be discussed at the IGF 2022 parliamentary track, offering parliamentarians an opportunity to exchange good practices, discuss challenges and solutions, and engage with other stakeholders in a dialogue aimed to help inform efficient and effective policy making and implementation.
