In an effort to encourage the establishment of a trusted online environment, APEC has issued two related online security strategies: “APEC Cybersecurity Strategy” in 2002 and “APEC Strategy to Ensure Trusted, Secure, and Sustainable Online Environment” in 2005.21 The “APEC Cybersecurity Strategy," developed by the APEC TEL, laid out six areas for cooperation among member economies: (1) legal developments; (2) information sharing and cooperation; (3)
security and technical guidelines; (4) public awareness; (5) training and education; and (6) wireless security. Issues and activities in these areas could serve as the basis for APEC’s efforts on cybercrime and critical infrastructure protection.
