Cybersecurity Trust and Awareness Survey launched
17 May 2006
News
In today's interconnected and increasingly networked world, we are vulnerable to a wide variety of threats, including deliberate attacks on critical information infrastructures, with debilitating effects on our economies and on our societies. Is fear of identity theft, the misuse of sensitive personal data and other online fraud having an impact on confidence in the use of the Internet for commercial or financial purposes?
Is the willingness to conduct online transactions outpacing the trust? To what extent are businesses and consumers willing to take risks in order to reap the benefits of online transactions?
The ITU is conducting a worldwide public survey to assess users' trust of online transactions and awareness of cybersecurity measures. The data collected through the survey will be used to increase global awareness of cybersecurity, particularly in developing countries, and should help decision-makers in assessing the cyberspace 'trust' level with a view to reviewing national and corporate strategies and priorities. This survey is available on the ITU website at www.itu.int/newsroom/wtd/2006/survey/index.html
