ASEAN-ITU 2022 CyberDrill

BACKGROUND

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) aims to improve the cybersecurity readiness, protection, and incident response capabilities of Member States by conducting CyberDrills at the national and regional level. This event helps to test an organization’s cyber capabilities.

Over the past ten years, ITU has held thirty-four CyberDrills, involving more than 120 countries committed to improving cybersecurity at both national and global levels. ITU CyberDrills are hosted at the global, regional, and national levels.

The ITU-ASEAN CyberDrill was held fully virtually and aims to bring together the cybersecurity community throughout the region while fostering international cooperation. It will emphasize the role of national Computer Incident Response Teams (CIRTs), Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs), and Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs), in building cyber resilience and protecting critical information infrastructure.

This Cyberdrill was organized with support from the ITU-Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts (DITRDCA, Government of Australia) project.

OBJECTIVES

The 2022 ITU-ASEAN CyberDrill will tailor event sessions around four thematic concepts:

Reflect: Bring together the global cybersecurity community to review major regional cybersecurity trends and consider improvements based on the five pillars of ITU Global Cybersecurity Agenda (GCA) and The Global Cybersecurity Index (GCI).
Share: Promote knowledge sharing of beneficial communication networks, and exchange funding stream resources.
Learn: Build capacity for the CSIRT communities within incident response and critical information infrastructure protection (CIIP).
Practice: Test operational resiliency key concepts across CSIRT/CIRT/CERT community.
