<p><font size="3" face="Arial" color="#2f2f2f"><b>Overview:</b></font> </p>
<p><font size="3" face="Arial" color="#2f2f2f">During 2015 and 2016, the Policy Options for Connecting and Enabling the Next Billion(s) (CENB) activity within the Internet Governance Forum identified two major elements:</font>
</p>
<p><font size="3" face="Arial">· </font><font size="3" face="Arial" color="#2f2f2f">Which policy options are effective at creating an enabling environment, including deploying infrastructure, increasing usability, enabling users and ensuring affordability;</font>
</p>
<p><font size="3" face="Arial">· </font><font size="3" face="Arial" color="#2f2f2f">How Connecting and Enabling the Next Billion(s) contributes to reaching the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).</font>
</p>
<p><font size="3" face="Arial" color="#2f2f2f">The Best Practice Forum on Cybersecurity realizes that making Internet access more universal, and thus it supporting the SDGs, has significant cybersecurity implications. Well-developed cybersecurity helps contribute
to meeting the SDGs. Poor cybersecurity can reduce the effectiveness of these technologies, and thus limit our opportunities to helping achieve the SDGs.</font>
</p>
<p><font size="3" face="Arial" color="#2f2f2f">BPF participants have conducted an initial study of how the policy proposals compiled as part of CENB Phase I and II may affect, or be affected by, cybersecurity implications.</font>
</p>
<p><font size="3" face="Arial" color="#2f2f2f">As part of this ongoing effort, the IGF is now calling for public input to collect additional risks and cybersecurity policy recommendations that can help mitigate security impacts, and help ensure ICTs and the
Internet continue to help contribute to achieving the SDGs.</font> </p>

</p>
<p><font size="3" face="Arial">· </font><font size="3" face="Arial" color="#2f2f2f">Assessment of the CENB Phase II policy recommendations identified a few clear threats. Do you see particular policy options to help address, with particular attention
to the multi-stakeholder environment, the following cybersecurity challenges:</font>
</p>
<p><font size="3" face="Arial">o </font><font size="3" face="Arial" color="#2f2f2f">Denial of Service attacks and other cybersecurity issues that impact the reliability and access to Internet services</font>
</p>
<p><font size="3" face="Arial">o </font><font size="3" face="Arial" color="#2f2f2f">Security of mobile devices, which are the vehicle of Internet growth in many countries, and fulfill critical goals such as payments</font>
</p>
<p><font size="3" face="Arial">o </font><font size="3" face="Arial" color="#2f2f2f">Potential abuse by authorities, including surveillance of Internet usage, or the use of user-provided data for different purposes than intended</font>
</p>
<p><font size="3" face="Arial">o </font><font size="3" face="Arial" color="#2f2f2f">Confidentiality and availability of sensitive information, in particular in medical and health services</font>

<p><font size="3" face="Arial">o </font><font size="3" face="Arial" color="#2f2f2f">Vulnerabilities in the technologies supporting industrial control systems</font>
</p>
<p><font size="3" face="Arial">o </font><font size="3" face="Arial" color="#2f2f2f">Use of information collected for a particular purpose, being repurposed for other, inappropriate purposes. For instance, theft of information from smart meters, smart
grids and Internet of Things devices for competitive reasons, or the de-anonymization of improperly anonymized citizen data</font>

</p>
<p><font size="3" face="Arial">· </font><font size="3" face="Arial" color="#2f2f2f">Many Internet developments do not happen in a highly coordinated way - a technology may be developed in the technical community or private sector, and used by other communities
and interact in unexpected ways. Stakeholders are managing complexity.<br>
This both shows the strength and opportunities of ICTs and Internet Technologies, but also the potential risks. New technologies may be insufficiently secure, resulting in harms when they are deployed: conversely we may adopt security requirements or measures
that prevent the development, deployment, or widespread use of technologies that would generate unforeseen benefits. Where do you think lies the responsibility of each stakeholder community in helping ensure cybersecurity does not hinder future Internet development?</font>
