Cybercrime is a risk for any society, weakens confidence in Information and Communication technologies and threatens international peace and stability. Cyber-attacks are behind several military conflicts and political disagreements, and millions of attacks on computer systems and security incidents take place every day.
Therefore, cybercrime is one of the primary concerns of governments, societies and individuals, as beyond other damages, its estimated cost in the European Union is in the scale of 15 billion euros per year with an ever-increasing trend.
This was highlighted last November at the UNESCO Internet Governance Forum, where President Emmanuel Macron launched the Paris Call for Trust and Security in Cyberspace which now, after a year has the support of 74 states, 24 public authorities and local governments, 333 organizations and members of civil society and 608 companies and private sector entities.
