The ever increasing use of computers, networks and the Internet has led
to the need for regulation in the fields of cybercrime, cybersecurity
and national security. This SpringerBrief provides insights into the
development of self- and co-regulatory approaches to cybercrime and
cybersecurity in the multi-stakeholder environment. It highlights the
differences concerning the ecosystem of stakeholders involved in each
area and covers government supported initiatives to motivate industry to
adopt self-regulation. Including a review of the drawbacks of existing
forms of public-private collaboration, which can be attributed to a
specific area (cybercrime, cybersecurity and national security), it
provides some suggestions with regard to the way forward in self- and
co-regulation in securing cyberspace.
