Welcome to TC CYBER Wiki
The TC CYBER Wiki contains public information related to the Technical Committee work.
Global Cyber Security Ecosystem
The Global Cyber Security Ecosystem page provides a structured overview of cyber security work occurring in multiple other technical forums worldwide. The overview includes global identification of Cyber Security Centres of Excellence, heritage sites, historical collections, and reference libraries. It is intended to be continuously updated to account for the dynamics of the sector.
TC CYBER Roadmap
TC CYBER work is split across 9 key areas: understanding the cybersecurity ecosystem, IoT security and privacy, cybersecurity for critical national infrastructures, protection of personal data and communication, enterprise and individual cybersecurity, cybersecurity tools, support to EU legislation, forensics, and quantum-safe cryptography. You can find out more about each area on the Roadmap page.
3. Definition of terms, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Terms
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms apply:
centre of excellence: educational or research & development organization recognized as a leader in accomplishing its cyber security mission
cyber environment: users, networks, devices, all software, processes, information in storage or transit, applications, services, and systems that can be connected directly or indirectly to networks [i.1]
cyber security (or cybersecurity): collection of tools, policies, security concepts, security safeguards, guidelines, risk management approaches, actions, training, best practices, assurance and technologies that can be used to protect the cyber environment and organization and user's assets
NOTE: Organization and user's assets include connected computing devices, personnel, infrastructure, applications, services, telecommunications systems, and the totality of transmitted and/or stored information in the cyber environment.

The general security objectives comprise the following:
§ Availability.
§ Integrity, which may include authenticity and non-repudiation.
§ Confidentiality [i.1].
cybersecurity: preservation of confidentiality, integrity and availability of information in the Cyberspace [i.2]
cyberspace: complex environment resulting from the interaction of people, software and services on the Internet by means of technology devices and networks connected to it, which does not exist in any physical form [i.2]
heritage site: place (such as a building or complex) that is listed by a recognized accrediting body as a place where significant cyber security innovations occurred
historical collection: place, both real and virtual, dedicated to the structured gathering and availability of cyber security materials of historical significance; frequently denominated as a museum
information exchange mechanism: real or virtual activity established for providing continuing structured exchange of cyber security information content
reference library: collection of available published material useful for consultation for cyber security purposes
NOTE: The present document also includes significant dedicated publications in this category.
techniques, technical standards and operational practices forum: any continuing body established for the purposes of reaching agreement on techniques, technical standards or operational practices for enhancing cyber security
3.3. Abbreviations
For the purposes of the present document, the following abbreviations apply:
