The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) improves cybersecurity readiness, protection, and incident response capabilities of Member States by conducting CyberDrills at the regional and international levels. A CyberDrill is an annual event during which cyber-attacks, information security incidents, or other types of disruptions are simulated in order to test an organization’s cyber capabilities, from being able to detect a security incident to the ability to respond appropriately and minimize any related impact. Through a CyberDrill, participants are able to validate policies, plans, procedures, processes, and capabilities that enable preparation, prevention, response, recovery, and continuity of operations.
To date, the ITU has organized around 40 CyberDrill events around the world to enhance cybersecurity capacity and capabilities through regional collaboration and cooperation.
OBJECTIVES
The 2022 CyberDrills are tailored around four thematic concepts: Reflect, Share, Learn and Practice.
| - 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.
