Beyond its initial goal of making the Internet accessible to all, Internet society (Isoc) has set another challenge. The international association of the Internet wants to accompany certain countries to define a policy of the security of connected objects (telephones, surveillance cameras, watches …).
Indeed, it is said, "the advent of these connected objects in our daily lives brings a promise of convenience, efficiency and perception, but also creates a shared risk platform …".
Tidiane Seck, member of Isoc Senegal, adds that "connected objects are sources of computer attack, sources of concern".
Faced with this situation, Isoc launched a new initiative in three countries, including Canada, Senegal and Japan, "to demonstrate the use of the multi-stakeholder model in the development of public policies and regulatory processes. 'Internet".
"Isoc has decided to launch this initiative in these countries, to give them the chance to reflect on a multi-stakeholder model where all stakeholders will contribute to the definition of the security policy of connected objects," says Ndèye Maïmouna Diop , president of Isoc Senegal.
The multi-stakeholder model initiative "is a partnership between the Africa Bureau of the Internet Society, the Senegalese chapter of the Internet Society, the Ministry of Communication, Telecommunications, Posts and the Digital Economy and the Regulatory Authority for Telecommunications and Posts (Artp). Its goal is to implement a collaborative approach over 18 months to identify current and potential challenges and solutions for a far-reaching policy governing the security of the Internet of Things in Senegal. "
A memorandum of understanding for the initiative will be signed today, in the presence of Isoc Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Andrew Sullivan, who is making his first visit to Senegal.
