You are kindly invited to join this virtual workshop.<o:p> </o:p> A more secure and safer Internet, ICT and IoT, is in the interest of every end user. Whether corporate, public services or individuals, all end users should be adequately protected by state of the art security, available in the form of Internet standards and ICT/IoT best practices concerning security. Presently these standards and best practices are seriously underused, leaving the world at large, and its private and public interests, less protected than is currently possible. The DC-ISSS aims to ensure that standards and best practices play their full role in addressing these challenges through establishing the conditions for their wider, more effective and more rapid adoption by key decision-takers in the implementation chain.<o:p> </o:p> Said deployment is of direct interest to your organisation. Closing the gap between the theory and the practices of digital security is the main theme of the DC�s working groups. The gap between the theory of roadmaps on IoT security and secure-by-design devices and sensors. The gap between current tertiary schooling in cyber security curricula and the demands industry and other employers make on, not only, educational facilities but also those graduating there. The gap between the necessity of a more secure digital environment and the lack of active, security demand and thus offer of security. Deployment equals a significantly higher level of protection against the exploitation of vulnerabilities, hacks and extortion. It�s in your interest.<o:p> </o:p> In this session the current three working groups: security by design � Internet of Things; education and skills and; procurement, supply chain management and the creation of a business case for deployment will present their respective plans for 2021. These plans will be published shortly on the IGF website here: (https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/dynamic-coalition-on-internet-standards-security-and-safety-dc-isss). On the same page you can join the email list of the DC-ISSS.<o:p> </o:p> The second half of the session is your opportunity to raise questions, suggest research or direction, to add expertise and knowledge to the programme. The DC-ISSS Leadership team is open to have one on one sessions during EuroDIG or after. Please let us know if you are interested to learn more.<o:p> </o:p> The DC-ISSS is in need of support. 1) Contributions in kind in the form of knowledge and expertise. 2) Introductions to experts and expert organisations. 3) Financial contributions to conduct the research, the writing of reports, to conduct active outreach and allow for support, coordination and presentations.<o:p> </o:p> We look forward to welcoming you on Monday 28 June, 11.30 UTC (13.30 CEST). Do not forget to register on the EuroDIG website in order to participate.
