Five minutes to midnight: Averting cyberwar
summary
Panel proposes a concrete cyberspace non‑armament accord modeled on Antarctic/outer space and the Chemical Weapons Convention, citing ITU precedent for private‑sector inclusion; EU agencies report 2,214 cases handled last year and 62 cross‑border cyber cases in 2015 with 15 involving third states, plus a 2014 operation across 16 countries yielding 97 arrests. Priority actions are to protect a defined public core (IP, DNS, BGP), harden critical infrastructure, and pursue norms and EU‑level coordination while confronting attribution, verification, and dual‑use zero‑day problems.
