This report is the result of research conducted on concrete examples of public-private partnerships (PPPs) for cyber/ICT security in OSCE participating States. It presents emerging practices in PPPs as baseline recommendations and organizes them under the rubrics of purpose, policy, process and people. This report could be used as a capacity-building tool to promote public-private collaboration as an important element in strengthening national cyber resilience and international cyber stability.

This document focuses on how the principles set out in legislation apply to the use of the Internet, including social media, as an investigative tool.

The report highlights emerging practices in national classification of cyber incidents by underlining commonalities in existing approaches to cyber incident classification among OSCE participating States and identifying limitations in this process. Although experiences in developing cyber incident classification systems are diverse across participating States, the knowledge derived from these processes could be used as a capacity-building tool to promote the use of national cyber incidents classification systems within the OSCE area and beyond.
