<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">You might be interested in a new
report we published yesterday outlining existing definitions of cybersecurity and
information security related which are also accessible via a new website:<span> </span><a href="http://cyberdefinitions.newamerica.org/" target="_blank">cyberdefinitions.newamerica.org</a></span></p>



<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">The study was funded by
the Swiss government that currently chairs the Organization for Security and
Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). The report was written to provide input for the
OSCE’s efforts to develop confidence-building measures to reduce the risks of conflict
stemming from the use of cyberspace. The study offers a compilation of existing
definitions primarily provided by international organizations and standard
setting bodies as well as outlined in national (cyber-) security strategies and
documents of states. These are complemented by terms from a few selected other
sources such as the Oxford Dictionary on Computing.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">We expect that this data
will also be useful for a much broader audience – including the RAN – as well
as policy-makers and scholars, so we also launched the new website to make
it more accessible. It includes a form to submit new definitions which will
allow us to keep the website up to do date and to potentially expand it over
time. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Any feedback is most
welcome as well as future submissions.</span></p>
