Intellectual Property Rights
Essential patents
IPRs essential or potentially essential to normative deliverables may have been declared to ETSI. The information
pertaining to these essential IPRs, if any, is publicly available for ETSI members and non-members, and can be found
in ETSI SR 000 314: "Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs); Essential, or potentially Essential, IPRs notified to ETSI in
respect of ETSI standards", which is available from the ETSI Secretariat. Latest updates are available on the ETSI Web
server (https://ipr.etsi.org/).
Pursuant to the ETSI IPR Policy, no investigation, including IPR searches, has been carried out by ETSI. No guarantee
can be given as to the existence of other IPRs not referenced in ETSI SR 000 314 (or the updates on the ETSI Web
server) which are, or may be, or may become, essential to the present document.

Foreword
This Technical Report (TR) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Cyber Security (CYBER).
Modal verbs terminology
In the present document "should", "should not", "may", "need not", "will", "will not", "can" and "cannot" are to be
interpreted as described in clause 3.2 of the ETSI Drafting Rules (Verbal forms for the expression of provisions).
"must" and "must not" are NOT allowed in ETSI deliverables except when used in direct citation.
Executive summary
The present document is a basic reference document for undertaking the responsibilities, areas of activity, organization
and working methods enumerated in the Terms of Reference for Cyber Security Technical Committee. Cyber security is
inherently diverse, dynamic, and spread across a complex array of bodies and activities worldwide, and constitutes a
specialized ecosystem. The Committee's effectiveness is predicated in large measure by constantly discovering,
analysing, and understanding the diverse requirements and work occurring in this ecosystem in some kind of structured
fashion. The present document should also be useful to the many constituents that are part of the cyber security
ecosystem.
The present document attempts to discover and assemble enumerated lists in alphabetic order of global cyber security
constituents. It attempts to be as inclusive as possible to expand collective insight into the extent and diversity of the
ecosystem:
• Fora that develop techniques, technical standards and operational practices.
• Major IT developer forums affecting cyber security.
• Activities for continuous information exchange.
• Global and national centres of excellence.
• Reference libraries, continuing conferences, and publications.
• Heritage sites and historical collections.

The present document is augmented by annex A which contains national cyber security ecosystems that have been
published in national cyber security strategies and publicly available material.
Where groups exist within a common organization, they are grouped together. Only brief summaries of bodies are
included, and available URLs are provided for further information. Where the body or activity is significantly
associated with a national or regional government, that relationship forms the basis of the alphabetic order.
The present document also includes an extensive list of acronym abbreviations and an annex of use cases of the
relationships among the different groups.
This ecosystem changes constantly, so URIs provide links to the activities for the latest information. The present
document may also be implemented on the ETSI website to allow continuing maintenance both by the ETSI Secretariat
research, outreach and cooperation with the included forums.
Introduction
Cyber security consists of a continuing cycle of structured actions to:
• Identify (understand state and risks to systems, assets, data, and capabilities)
• Protect (implement the appropriate safeguards)
• Detect (implement ability to identify a cybersecurity event)
• Respond (implement ability to take action following a cybersecurity event)
• Recover (implement resilience and restoration of impaired capabilities)
All of these activities rely on the trusted, timely sharing of related structured information. See figure 1.
Almost every provider or major user of information or communication of products and services today is involved in a
large array of bodies and activities advancing these actions and constitutes a cyber security ecosystem at global
regional, national, and local levels down small business, households and individuals.
All those involved in the ecosystem seek solutions to protect the integrity and availability of their communications and
information to the extent that is feasible and within cost constraints. As is apparent from the present document, there is
so much information and activity, it has created what one notable security community leader describes as "a fog of
more". Indeed, some of the activities now ongoing are dedicated to distilling and prioritizing the techniques and
mechanisms that have been produced by other groups.
There are so many cyber security activities occurring today in diverse, frequently insular industry, academic, and
government groups, that it is beyond the comprehension of any single person's or group's ability to discover and
understand them all. The existence of an ecosystem living document in the form of the present document that is
structured, regularly updated, and collectively maintained by everyone helps itself to strengthen cyber security.
Especially significant is the recent publication of a large array of formal national cyber security strategy plans and
related material in countries worldwide which describe individual national ecosystems that are profiled in annex A.
Discovering and providing a common structured understanding of these national ecosystems is ultimately essential to
global cyber security work such as that of the Technical Committee for Cyber Security.

1 Scope
The present document 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.
