Emerging Practices in Cybersecurity-Related Public-Private Partnerships and Collaboration in OSCE participating States

This report evidences the implementation of OSCE cyber/ICT security Confidence-Building Measure 14, which encourages states to establish public-private partnerships to respond to common security challenges stemming from the use of Information and Communication Technologies. It provides examples of existing practice from the OSCE region, as well as baseline recommendations to support future efforts.

The report builds upon previous studies done by participating States, which gathered examples of public-private collaboration in cyber/ICT security. It further develops on these findings through a series of interviews conducted with public sector representatives actively involved in co-operation with the private sector. By highlighting examples of emerging practices and discussing concrete modalities of public-private partnerships, the report hopes to serve as a capacity-building tool for experts and policy-makers and support the formulation and implementation of national policies related to cyber/ICT security.
