The UNIDIR Taxonomy of Malicious ICT Incidents is a tool that provides the multistakeholder community with an easy-to-read infographic that can help in analysing malicious ICT incidents. It is designed  to work towards a baseline of knowledge and common understanding, which could help the international community to build confidence through increased information-sharing about malicious ICT incidents.
