Participation

Session 3 - “Active defence”: how far can businesses go in proactive security?

The private sector has been exposed to an increasing number and variety of attacks and businesses are dependent on their governments if they wish counter-offensive action to be taken against attackers. Today practices known as “hacking-back” are within governments’ prerogative only. Should public policy evolve in order to clarify whether and how private sector could take proactive defensive measures (also called “active cyber defence”)?
