A/77/92 (d) Fourth, the strategy further strengthens the international efforts of Denmark on cybersecurity. This includes the allocation of additional resources to its diplomatic service in order to strengthen the country’s contribution to multilateral cooperation on cybersecurity within the European Union, NATO and the United Nations and to promote cooperation with the international tech industry, academia and think tanks, as well as export controls on digital products. Finally, the strategy also includes initiatives that will strengthen the country’s national and international efforts to set up active cyberdefences and increase deterrence. In addition to the initiatives launched in as part of the national cybersecurity and information security strategies, Denmark continues its broad engagement in countering hybrid threats such as cyberattacks and influence operations through collaboration with its partners and allies in NATO and the European Union. Denmark also contributes to the diplomatic efforts within the United Nations, the European Union, NATO and OSCE in order to consistently promote a free, open, stable, peaceful and secure cyberspace. Notably, Denmark supports the idea of establishing a United Nations programme of action which could provide a platform for States and non-State actors to cooperate further, for instance, in terms of putting in place capacity -building activities adapted to their needs or advancing their national implementation efforts under the United Nations framework, thus resulting in greater collective resilience and stability in the ICT domain. Moreover, Denmark is also an active member of the Network and Information Systems Cooperation Group and the cybersecurity incident response team network, and is a member of the board of the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity. Content of the concepts mentioned in the report of the Open-ended Working Group on Developments in the Field of Information and Telecommunications in the Context of International Security and the reports of the Group of Governmental Experts on Developments in the Field of Information and Telecommunications in the Context of International Security Existing and emerging threats Denmark recognizes that cyberspace holds tremendous opportunities for increasing welfare, boosting sustainable economic growth and improving our citizens’ quality of life. Nonetheless, our dependence on digital solutions also creates certain challenges and vulnerabilities. Denmark is concerned by the rise of malicious activities in cyberspace by State and non-State actors, as well as the increase in cyberenabled theft of intellectual property. Such actions threaten economic growth and the stability of the international community. State and non-State actors have shown their willingness to take advantage of any opportunity to conduct malicious cyberactivities. This includes interfering with critical infrastructure and cyberenabled theft of intellectual property. Any attempt to hamper the ability of critical infrastructure is unacceptable and can put people’s lives at risk. Denmark is particularly alarmed by the recent increase in activities affecting the security and integrity of ICT products and services, which might have systemic effects. Specifically, Russia’s use of cyberattacks against critical infrastructure as part of the unprovoked and unlawful invasion of Ukraine is completely unacceptable and must therefore be strongly condemned by the entire international community. States must refrain from the use of cyberattacks, exercise due diligence and take swift and firm action against malicious ICT activity originating from their territory, as consistent with international law and the 2010, 2013, 2015 and 2021 consensus 22-08761 11/34
