National Information Assurance and Cyber Security Strategy (NIACSS) 4.7. 2012 International Information Security Cooperation Program Jordan is connected to other countries through information networks. Cyberattacks can cause serious problems for national security. Therefore, the government and all concerned must prepare to defend critical infrastructures and respond effectively. To do so requires international cooperation. Jordan needs to be part of an international effort to raise awareness, develop and promote security standards and best practices, investigate and prosecute malevolent users across borders, and negotiate and conclude bilateral and multi-national agreements. The following actions support this priority: 4.7.1 Share and analyze information on vulnerabilities, threats and incidents. 4.7.2 Participate in, utilize, and get benefits from current international efforts, such as cyber war exercises and international cyber alarm initiatives. 4.7.3 Coordinate investigations of cyber-attacks and other potential computer-related crimes with international partners as required by law and agreement. 4.7.4 Promote research and development and encourage the application of internationally certified security technologies. National information security cannot be achieved or strengthened to a required level without cooperating with other international governments, research centers, universities, organizations, and the private sector.
