    12:20 - 13:00 SESSION D3-3 PANEL DISCUSSION Reasonable Cybersecurity: Emerging New Developments
    Moderated by Curtis Duke, CIS

    Cyber system users fundamentally face risks that vary among different ICT sectors, constantly evolve, and require reasonable allocations of resources and actions.  As cybersecurity incidents and related losses continue to increase, multiple private and public sector activities and actions have emerged as different understandings of what is “reasonable.”  In legal terms "reasonable cybersecurity” is the duty of care that an organization owes its customers. However, what is “reasonable” remains largely undefined and no global compilation exists of its use for cybersecurity purposes. 
    This  panel session is intended both to inform the Security Week audience and serve as a means for ongoing collaboration on the diverse manifestations of reasonable cybersecurity. It includes new related activities in the EU and CEPT countries, as well as different disciplines and perspectives.  It builds on work undertaken over the past year among the Critical Security Controls community and being carried forward with a new TC CYBER work item.
