A/65/201 on successful cooperation among like-minded partners. Collaboration among States, and between States, the private sector and civil society, is important and measures to improve information security require broad international cooperation to be effective. Therefore, the international community should examine the need for cooperative actions and mechanisms. 16. Existing agreements include norms relevant to the use of ICTs by States. Given the unique attributes of ICTs, additional norms could be developed over time. 17. Capacity-building is of vital importance to achieve success in ensuring global ICT security, to assist developing countries in their efforts to enhance the security of their critical national information infrastructure, and to bridge the current divide in ICT security. Close international cooperation will be needed to build capacity in States that may require assistance in addressing the security of their ICTs. IV. Recommendations 18. Taking into account the existing and potential threats, risks and vulnerabilities in the field of information security, the Group of Governmental Experts considers it useful to recommend further steps for the development of confidence-building and other measures to reduce the risk of misperception resulting from ICT disruptions: (i) Further dialogue among States to discuss norms pertaining to State use of ICTs, to reduce collective risk and protect critical national and international infrastructure; (ii) Confidence-building, stability and risk reduction measures to address the implications of State use of ICTs, including exchanges of national views on the use of ICTs in conflict; (iii) Information exchanges on national legislation and national information and communications technologies security strategies and technologies, policies and best practices; (iv) Identification of measures to support capacity-building in less developed countries; (v) Finding possibilities to elaborate common terms and definitions relevant to General Assembly resolution 64/25. 8 10-46957
