Traditional mechanisms of international rule-making have failed to drive forward globally accepted norms of responsible behaviour in cyberspace. The private-sector led initiatives that have sprung up in their place thus far fail to consider how threats to state powers and control will be contained. The only way to break that current impasse is by way of new ways of working.
The presentation will make the case for a model of multilateral collaboration, de facto outsourcing responsibility for international cyber norms development to a differently incentivised private sector while ensuring states maintain responsibility for norms enforcement.
It will test the assumption that a model of this kind has not yet been successfully applied, assessing three recent cyber norms initiatives – Cybersecurity Tech Accord; Charter of Trust; Paris Call for Trust and Security in Cyberspace – against five factors before drawing practically focused conclusions, looking at the success factors for adoption of the proposed multilateral collaboration model, and setting out how business and government practices would have to change.

Seeking to act as an interpreter between technical and policy communities, Kat leads the Group’s political engagement, government relations and lobbying work, educating policy-makers on cyber security and internal audiences on political developments and priorities, and shaping the business’s operating environment. She is also training as a technical security consultant, working through the Group’s graduate programme at her own pace.
Kat has an international understanding having studied in Germany and the Netherlands, worked in Argentina, Brussels and Strasbourg before settling in the UK just over ten years ago. She takes a keen interest in the way the public and private sectors collaborate to improve cyber resilience, and is currently working on a campaign to make the UK’s Computer Misuse Act for the 21st century. She is equally passionate about the global trends that inform how governments and businesses respond to cyber security challenges in an ever evolving interconnected world. In the last year, Kat has looked at emerging trends in multi-level cyber diplomacy, and challenged the future agenda of the World Economic Forum’s Global Centre for Cybersecurity.
And with a third degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, Kat is not just a cyber ninja…
