In a bid to counter the escalating threat of cyberattacks, leaders from over 50 nations are meeting at a high-level summit to finalize a new Global Cybersecurity Framework. The proposed framework, which has been in development for over two years, outlines a common set of standards and protocols for international data sharing, threat intelligence, and digital infrastructure protection. The initiative is a direct response to a series of high-profile cyberattacks that have disrupted critical services worldwide in recent years. While many are optimistic about the potential for greater international cooperation, some privacy advocates have raised concerns about the framework’s potential to be used for state surveillance. The summit’s organizers, however, maintain that the framework includes robust safeguards to protect individual privacy while ensuring collective security.
