Defini5ons
&
History
The
public–private
partnership
is
not
unique
to
cybersecurity
and
had
been
employed
by
countries
as
a
way
of
dealing
with
a
range
of
issues,
including
security-‐related
ones;
this
intensified
in
the
1990s,
when
the
priva3sa3on
of
cri3cal
infrastructure
was
regarded
as
economically
beneficial
to
the
state,
freeing
up
capital
and
drawing
more
heavily
on
the
efficiencies
and
business
prac3ces
of
the
private
sector.
The
end
of
the
Cold
War
“decreased
the
demand
for
defense
research
and
made
na3onal
security
a
less
compelling
reason
to
support
technology
research
and
development”.
President
Clinton
stated
with
respect
to
the
‘peace
dividend’
that
emerged
at
the
end
of
the
Cold
War:
“Every
dollar
we
take
out
of
military
R&D
[research
and
development]
in
the
post-‐
Cold
War
era
should
go
to
R&D
for
commercial
technologies,
un3l
civilian
R&D
can
match
and
eventually
surpass
our
Cold
War
military
R&D
commitment”,
which
led
to
a
new
push
for
public–private
partnerships.
Partnerships
require
a
clear
framework
specifying
the
roles
of
the
public
and
private
sectors,
their
rela3onships
and
the
areas
for
co-‐opera3on.
If
organisa3ons
are
to
face
coherent,
straighsorward
and
effec3ve
regulatory
and/or
non-‐
regulatory
requirements,
public-‐private
co-‐ordina3on
needs
to
be
op3mised.
“The
measure
of
success
for
a
PPP
is
the
right
people
coming
together
to
do
the
right
things
in
the
right
way”
