Our Policy work on Security

The Internet Society works at the intersection of technology and policy focusing on ensuring the Internet is stable, secure and resilient.

To do so, it is important that these issues be addressed by all stakeholders in a spirit of collaboration and shared responsibility. It is also important that these issues be addressed in ways that do not undermine the global architecture of the Internet or curtail internationally recognized human rights.
