Global best practices for prevention are required as are harmonized approaches to law enforcement and jurisprudence. Governments, multinational organizations and individual companies must work together to create common ground. Out of this effort, we expect to create a global partnership within and among industries, similar to the effort that has been initiated in the US among industries through the Partnership for Critical Infrastructure Protection. Teaching responsible computer use to young users will help insure a better understanding of right and wrong in cyberspace. It s doubtful.
Most kids have a higher level of cyber knowledge than their parents.
Today s kids - the first generation of true cybercitizens must understand that their online actions have severe consequences. ITAA has a collaborative agreement with the US Department of Justice called the Cybercitizen Partnership, which has an important awareness component directed at 10-12 year old children. The program will be expanded to reach high school and younger elementary as interest in the campaign grows. We are also cosponsoring an event at Marymount University in Arlington, VA this fall that will help address the cyberethics issue at the college and university level. Conclusion Businesses and governments manage risk every day.
