webinar! Register here!
<https://nyu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_xAPm564zToCdaMhvnjIE7w>*



A specific and powerful bloc has emerged in the digital governance space
and otherwise, the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa)
countries. Our panelists will discuss the increasing relevance of
cybersecurity for the BRICS countries, the recent national policymaking
developments occurred in this area at the BRICS level, and the recent calls
from BRICS leaders to enhance cooperation on cybersecurity matters. The
2021 BRICS Summit Declaration enshrined the bloc’s five members pledged to
pursue enhanced cooperation on cybersecurity issues, including by
“establishing legal frameworks of cooperation among BRICS” and exploring
the development of a BRICS intergovernmental agreement on cybersecurity.
This panel will discuss BRICS cybersecurity concerns, and solutions from
the perspectives of the BRICS countries.
