The UK and France will soon launch a consultation on the threat
presented by the proliferation and irresponsible use of
commercial cyber intrusion capabilities.
This consultation will take place under the Pall Mall Process, an
international and multi-stakeholder dialogue to develop joint
solutions to address this shared threat.
Led by the governments of the UK and France, a coalition of
states, businesses and civil society came together in February
2024 to discuss the issue. They published the ‘Pall Mall
Declaration', also available in French: Processus de
Pall Mall.
Through this consultation, we will invite stakeholders to share
views on good practice relating to commercial cyber intrusion
capabilities (CCICs) across 3
stakeholder groups:
-
states: as regulators and potential customers of the market
for CCICs
-
industry organisations: involved in and around the market for
CCICs,
alongside their wider value chain
-
civil society, experts, and threats researchers : with
relevant expertise on the threat presented by the market for
CCICs, and
responses to it
If you would like to take part in this consultation, once it goes
live, you can register to
participate in the consultation by providing your contact
details.
Note that:
-
we may share your details with our partners in the French
government, as the Pall Mall Process is a joint initiative
-
responding to the consultation questionnaire does not
represent a formal commitment to the Pall Mall Process, nor
membership of the initiative
