Initiated in London 2011, the process draws ministers, government and private sector cyber leaders from across the globe. The conference produced the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seoulcyber2013.kr\/en\/media\/noticeView.do?media_id=2242\">Seoul Framework<\/a>\u2014a principles document organised around the themes of the conference, including cybersecurity, economic growth and development, cybercrime and capacity building.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop <a href=\"http:\/\/foreignminister.gov.au\/speeches\/2013\/jb_sp_131017.html\">spoke<\/a> about the challenges and opportunities posed by cyberspace, stressing that cyber is a \u2018priority issue\u2019 for the new government. For a more in depth recap of the conference read Toby Feakin\u2019s latest <i>Strategist<\/i> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aspistrategist.ru\/putting-runs-on-the-board-australia-and-international-cyberspace\/\">piece<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The European Union\u2019s law enforcement agency, Europol, has released <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/world-europe-24539417\">details<\/a> of an elaborate cyber-enabled drug trafficking operation that suggests that criminal groups are taking advantage of the growing \u2018hackers for hire\u2019 market. An organised crime group based in Belgium infiltrated the systems of two shipping companies at the Port of Antwerp. Using this access, they were able to ascertain the location and security surrounding containers being used to legally ship bananas, in which the group\u2019s South American accomplices had concealed heroin and cocaine. Once shipped to Europe, the containers were intercepted using the stolen information before their rightful owners could collect them.<\/p>\n<p>Former Estonian Defence Minister Jaak Aaviksoo spoke in a recent <a href=\"http:\/\/articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/2013-10-17\/security\/43143406_1_cyber-war-cyber-attack-cyber-defence\">interview<\/a> about the key lessons learned from the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2007_cyberattacks_on_Estonia\">2007 Estonian cyberattacks<\/a>. Aaviksoo, who was Defence Minister during the attacks, spoke about how Estonia has reacted to the online assault by becoming one of the most cybersecurity conscious countries in the world. One of the more interesting points he made surrounded traditional reporting structures and how they can inhibit effective responses to cyber incidents; &#8216;Cyberattacks happen in seconds.

The agreement aims to lift the country\u2019s technical cyber capabilities by identifying and providing cybersecurity training to a new crop of experts.
