Origin

2014 - Second part-session

In the draft resolution, after paragraph 6.12, insert the following paragraph:

“Governments and service providers should undertake an ambitious plan to educate users in security operations.”

Explanatory note

The first stage in greater security is to educate users. They must be helped to recognise suspicious situations and have the reflex to update their anti-virus software and to clean up their computers just like the automatic reflex to put on a safety belt in a car.
