Five academics and practioners, including a member of the French army, discussed cybersecurity issues with the audience and made recommendations in favour of a better security in the use of the Internet. Dr Couzigou explained how States can currently legally react to cyberattacks and how international law should evolve in order to allow a more efficient response of States to cyberattacks committed by non-State actors.
