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, regional, and global level. Over the past ten years, ITU has held over thirty CyberDrills partnering with more than 100 countries committed to improving cybersecurity at both national and global levels. As part of ITU global CyberDrill 2021, this year, we intend to conduct 3 interregional meetings on the theme “Cyber Resilience and Protecting Critical information infrastructure”.

National CIRTs have faced a steady increase of responsibility over the past year, and it is critical that global cybersecurity personnel continue to collaborate and exchange best practices. On this regard, ITU is inviting member states, namely their CSIRT/CIRT/CERT and regional organizations in Americas and Arab regions to focused specifically on the role of national Computer Incident and Response Teams (CIRTs) and Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs) in building cyber resilience and protecting critical information infrastructure .

OBJECTIVES

  • Setting up a cooperation dialogue by bringing together the regional 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).
  • Facilitate strategic cooperation and the exchange of information among Member States in order to minimize cyber threats impact, raises concerns and prevent future attacks.
  • Identify and address cybersecurity cooperation needs, current trends, good practices, innovative approaches, lessons learned, and to identify common challenges across regions.​​
