Participants at the fourth Commonwealth Cybersecurity Forum which took place between March 5 and 6, 2014 in London have commended Commonwealth countries for their newly adopted Commonwealth Cybergovernance Model, reports DigitalSENSE Business News.

Also participants expressed confidence that they see as a significant step in helping to reach global consensus for a more secure and safe cyberspace,

The Commonwealth Cybergovernance Model, DigitalSENSE Business News gathered was adopted the previous day by Commonwealth ICT Ministers at their first biennial meeting, which was presented to the wider ICT community at the London forum by the Honourable Phillip Paulwell, Minister of Science, Technology, Energy and Mining of Jamaica.

DigitalSENSE Business News learnth that the model establishes four key principles that Commonwealth countries will use for guidance in the governance of cyberspace, namely “We contribute to a safe and an effective global Cyberspace; Our actions in Cyberspace support broader economic and social development; We act individually and collectively to tackle cybercrime; and We each exercise our rights and meet our responsibilities in Cyberspace.

Introduced in 2010, DigitalSENSE Business News recalls that the CTO’s annual Commonwealth Cybersecurity Forum has become the key Commonwealth event to exchange ideas, share knowledge and build relationships to improve the safety, security and resilience of cyberspace.
