Leapfrogging --- Eduardo, important point on those that still don't have access - as Florence remarked above also with regards to developing regions. So it is a very important question how to ensure that the next billions - which will come from developing countries - bring cybersecurity to themselves and the overall cyberspace as well.

One challenge, however, is that the next billions won't start with emails - the field well known to us, where developed countries have experience and know-how. Instead, they will leapfrog and start with what's actual and on the market - such as IoT (off the shelves) or personal assistants (in-built into mobile phones and tablets).

Following this logic, we can't be satisfied with developing regions to develop basic understanding of cybersecurity only; they would need to leapfrog the cybersecurity knowledge as well! And that is quite a challenge - how to make sure capacity building efforts target cutting-edge knowledge in Africa, Asia and other places?
