A/67/167 • Cooperate on addressing the harmful effects of cyberattacks, sharing lessons learned, and developing technological solutions and organizational recommendations on deterring cyberattacks. • Develop international legal instruments to establish standard terminology and rules, such as a Code of Internet Conduct. Owing to the need to counter these threats, partner intelligence services and law enforcement agencies should work together in the following areas: • Develop mechanisms for the prompt sharing among intelligence services of information concerning the activities of organized criminal groups, including terrorist groups, aimed at unauthorized interference in the information resources of national Internet infrastructure or the information systems of government offices or businesses. • Exchange information on crimes relating to unauthorized access to the computer systems of financial institutions, including for the purpose of forging bank cards, or unauthorized interference in the functioning of bank computer systems for the purpose of stealing confidential information or impeding operations. • Collaborate during operations to track persons committing cybercrimes using national Internet infrastructure and document their unlawful activities. • Exchange experience and current practices in the examination of software and hardware (cyber forensics) while investigating crimes committed using computer technology and share methods and techniques of examining computer equipment in order to document criminal activities. • Establish joint training programmes for the staff of intelligence services and internships for their experts. • Participate in joint symposiums, seminars and conferences on countering cybercrime. One form of cooperation could be to establish a system for monitoring the resources of national Internet infrastructure in order to ensure the early detection of threats and a system for identifying the best tools to use in neutralizing those threats. One possible mechanism for coordinating the cybersecurity activities of State bodies, telecommunications service providers and other actors in national information and communications technology infrastructure aimed at preventing unlawful uses of computers and information technology could be to establish national computer incident response centres and have them work in close collaboration with one another. The main tasks of such national centres could include the following: • To collect, analyse and compile in the relevant databases information on current cybersecurity threats. • To monitor and detect web-based mechanisms and resources whose operations are contrary to the regulations governing the use of national Internet infrastructure. 18 12-43414
