Business TREND. Cyber version of the Red Cross? WHAT. HOW. WHY.

What is being proposed? an international organization modeled after the International Committee of the Red Cross that would help in cyber emergencies

Why? Its based on work by tech companies including:

  • November 2017 a UN speech on cyber security y Brad Smith, Microsoft´s President and Chief Legal Officer
  • Spring 2018 Microsoft initiated the Cybersecurity Tech Accord
  • Fall 2018 60 tech companies have signed on to support core principles
