The UNDT failed to properly take into consideration the permissive culture at the
material time. It is in evidence and not in dispute that at the material time there was a
permissive culture of receiving hospitality albeit within boundaries.
25. (...) The Judgment shows that the UNDT considered the permissive culture at the time
that Streb accepted “lavish hospitality” from Kohli. (...) Specifically, the UNDT noted that “[t]here was
within the Procurement Division a culture of acceptance of modest hospitality from
vendors”.

Culture of cybersecurity : from policies to practice
ITU Regional Cybersecurity Forum for Europe and CIS
Sofia, Bulgaria 07-09 October 2008
Professor Solange Ghernaouti- Hélie - University of Lausanne

Cybersecurity for information economy
Cybersecurity culture deals with key economic, legal, and social issues related to information security
in order to contribute to helping countries get prepared
• to face issues and challenges linked to information and communication technologies (ICT) deployment, uses and misuses
3
A large range of issues …
At the crossroads of technological, legal, sociological, economic, and political fields
Cybersecurity is an interdisciplinary domain by nature
Depending on the country it must reflect the vision, the culture and the civilization of a nation as well as meeting the specific security needs of the local context in which it is introduced
4
A large range of issues …
Educational efforts and investments need to be made to educate and train all the members of the information society
from decision makers to citizens including children and older people
Specific actions should be taken at a national level to raise or build cybersecurity capacities of various members in order to be able to deal with national and international cybersecurity issues
5
Awareness is not enough
Awareness is not enough to empower the end-user in a way that he or she would be able to adopt a safe and responsible behaviour when dealing with ICT technologies
Specific educational programmes should be effective and available
for each kind of stakeholder • policy makers, justice and police professionals, managers,
information technology professionals, end-users

Answering a global challenge by a local answer
Any global strategy to develop a cybersecurity culture
has to be adapted to local needs
When developing cybersecurity culture, one of the main challenges is to identify correctly what are
the global & international issues the local specific needs for a cybersecurity culture
8
Strategic answer and political will
Promoting a culture of cybersecurity that will touch the entire population needs to rely upon
an appropriate political vision and will and efficient private and public partnerships
There are no real theories or methodologies related to:
How to design, to communicate, to validate or to control the adequacy of a cybersecurity culture
• Evaluating the effectiveness of cybersecurity culture, from policies and guidelines to practice, is very difficult
9
A need for private and public partnerships
If the public and private sectors do not support such initiatives together as soon as possible
there will be a long term negative effect on economic development and the ability to ensure the security of goods and people
10
A question of responsibility
“Awareness: Participants should be aware of the need for securing information systems and networks and what can be done to enhance security”
“Responsibility: All participants are responsible for the security of information systems and networks”
It will also contribute to avoiding building security based on fear
• Fear is a selling argument when dealing with security issues but is not always rational and does not lead to the best investments and efficiency in security
11
Basic recommendations Educate the end-user
Increase public awareness to enhance users’ behaviour in respect of security
Give to the end-user the tools and means required to be responsible
Design an end-user-centric security model within a given technical and legal framework whereby the user can decide what is judicious based on his own resources
12
Defense in deep
Education contributes to developing a layer of defence in deep security approach and is the cornerstone of the information society
Education constitutes a real human capacity challenge that governments have to face
13
Human capacity building
Capacity building includes Human resource development
• The process of equipping individuals with the understanding, skills and access to information, knowledge and training that enable them to perform effectively
Every citizen should: Understand the cyberthreats for the end-user
• viruses, spam, identity theft, fraud, swindle, privacy offence, … • and their impacts
Understand how to adopt a security behaviour for a safe use of ICT resources Be able to promote a cybersecurity culture based on well recognized good practices;
14
Concluding words …
With the Global Cybersecurity Agenda, ITU proposes a unique framework to consider cybersecurity issues in a holistic and systemic approach,
a unique model to deal with the global challenges of building confidence and security into the use of ICT that takes into consideration awareness and education issues
15
Concluding words
Promoting a culture of cybersecurity contributes to building a safe and inclusive information society
Considering cybersecurity education is a long term approach which is efficient for a sustainable information society

The field of study “Humanities” included “Cultural Studies”.
11. In evidence, Ms. Jansen, Examinations Officer, Examinations and Tests
Section (“ETS”), Department of Management, told the Tribunal that in 2013 the
CEB discussed in depth what an applicant would have to have studied in order to
include his or her study programme under “Cultural Studies”. (...) In 2013, it was
determined that new staff members who had studied “Cultural Studies” might be
needed in the field of Administration, but not those who had studied languages.
46. (...) The Applicant disposes of a Bachelor of Arts in French, with Russian
Studies; ten out of the fifteen courses he took in the framework of these
studies relate to foreign culture, and are thus presumably acceptable as
“Cultural studies” for the UN Administration; the remaining courses were in
UN languages which were considered an “advantage” and “desirable” in the
relevant job opening;

Approximately 75% of these patients proved to be culture positive with BAL as the only source of a positive culture confirming the diagnosis of TB. (...) For the purposes of this discussion we can consider the diagnostic test “D” to refer to AFB microscopy and the “gold standard” as culture.
Smear+ Smear- Total
Culture+ a b a+b
Culture- c d c+d
Total a+c b+d
Sensitivity = a/a+c
Specificity = d/b+d
PPV = a/a+b
NPV = d/c+d
The numbers [a, b, c, and d] come directly from the results of a trial. (...) Thus, measures to improve the tests in the example where Sm = ZN smear and TB = culture.
Prevalence
