Cyberdefense refers to the strategies, practices, and technologies employed to protect computer systems, networks, and data from cyber threats and attacks. It encompasses a wide range of activities aimed at safeguarding information technology environments from unauthorized access, damage, or disruption. From the perspective of national defense, digital technology plays a crucial role covering several key aspects and technologies: cybersecurity, cyber defense, the protection of critical infrastructures, cyber surveillance, defensive tactics in cyberspace, the use of artificial intelligence, big data, the impact on privacy, cloud computing and the Internet of things. All these technologies play an important role in the development of advanced capabilities and the improvement of the Nation's security. Most of the technologies used in cyberspace, cybersecurity and cyberdefense are from developed economies, in this sense the North-South and South South cooperation are relevant to access information and tools toward enhancing cyberdefense in developing economies. To understand the present and future challenges and possible scenarios for the evolution of technology, the national, regional and international regulatory frameworks, as well as the geopolitical and ethical implications, it becomes relevant for developing economies to create a space for exchanging ideas and knowledge about technical, economic and social impact on which the current digital environment of defense is based. The purpose of the open forum is:
Evaluate the impact on the present and future of the use of digital technologies in cyberspace and cyberdefense. Analyze the current and future national, regional and global scenario in relation to the impact of the use of digital technology. Understand the importance of regulatory frameworks as a source of reference for the development of public technological policies and research, development and innovation in industries associated with digital technology. Exchange information about best practices used in other regions in relation with cybersecurity.
Onsite and remote moderators will guide dialogue between experts and audience based on previously exchanged questions and other comments that will emerge in the room and from remote participants.
