A/72/315 Possible measures that could be taken by the international community to strengthen information security at the global level (a) Develop mechanisms for international cooperation, as provided for in current and future instruments of international law; (b) Build effective cooperation between the international community and multinational corporations that control the overwhelming majority of ICT, in order to identify and block the sources of threats to information security. Brunei Darussalam [Original: English] [29 June 2017] Brunei Darussalam recognizes that global trends have shifted with increasingly prominent developments in the field of information and telecommunications. At the same time, this has also introduced new threats and challenges in the form of hacking, cybercrimes and cyberterrorism, which endanger vital infrastructures, networks and services worldwide. Its transnational and intangible nature requires collaborative efforts from the global community to build a secure and trusted online environment. On a national scale, under the auspices of the National Security Committee, the country maintains strong cooperative ties with a host of local security agencies to manage internal cybersecurity threats. The Brunei national computer emergency response team was established in May 2004 and became the nation’s one-stop referral agency in dealing with computer- and Internet-related security incidents. Through a global affiliation with other computer emergency response teams, the national team acquires valuable information on security threats to information and communications technology (ICT) and shares findings on security risks detected within the nation’s ICT infrastructure. Brunei Darussalam is committed to working with regional and international partners to constantly maintain a state of readiness in the face of major international cyberthreats. Within the regional architecture of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Brunei Darussalam will participate in the ADMM -Plus Expert Working Group on Cyber Security, which brings 18 countries together to promote practical and effective cooperation and to enhance capacity in protecting the region’s cyberspace and addressing challenges to cybersecurity. Threats in all cyberlandscapes, including that of cloud computi ng and mobile systems, are recognized by the Government and represent a major part of the security and defence priorities of Brunei Darussalam.
