Worldwide Cybersecurity Initiative

EWI is working with leading corporations, specialists and governments around the world to mobilize cooperative approaches to cybersecurity. This initiative combines EWI’s established process – convening diverse parties, reframing security challenges and mobilizing resources to implement solutions – with the technical expertise of our partners to build trust and reduce the sense of vulnerability that dominates cybersecurity policies in most countries.

EWI is working with the U.S., Russia, China and India and others to:

  1. create new and effective international collaborative mechanisms and trust;
  2. reframe issues and develop consensus proposals for new agreements and policies;
  3. champion and mobilize resources necessary to implement high-impact proposals.
