ITU Workshop on Cybersecurity and Cybercrime Legislation & Cybersecurity Incident Simulation

 

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is organsing an ITU Workshop on Cybersecuirty and Cybercrime Legislation & Cybersecurity Incident Simulation to be held at The Sukosol Bangkok Hotel, on Monday 23 March 2015.

  

This Workshop is aimed to raise awareness about threats of cyberattack and cybercrime especially in the context of Thailand moving towards the Digital Economy. In this regard, it is expected that the Workshop will also facilitate discussion about the draft Cybercrime and Cybersecurity legislation. In addition, the Workshop will also demonstrate a Live Cybersecurity Incident Simulation which will enable the participants to go through a simulation and assess in a very tangible way potential threats with regard to Cyber Attacks.

To participate in the Workshop, please complete the Registration Forum and return the completed form to Ms. Tanitta Virayavanich by email, tanitta.virayavanich@itu.int or by fax at +66 2575 3507.

For enquiry, please contact Mr. Wisit Atipayakoon (wisit.atipayakoon@itu.int) or Ms. Siriwan Silprakorb (siriwan@itupo.org).

About the Simulation

The simulations enables the participants to go through a simulation and assess in a very tangible way potential threats with regard to Cyber Attacks. In a 60 minute simulation they will experience a series of complex and realistic cyber attacks, their exposure to risks, the impact of the attack as well as the consequences of their action and response. 1-5 people will be able to actively participate and they have the chance to find out if they are prepared to go on the defensive and if the policy and legal framework will be able to address the challenges. The simulation does not require technical knowledge – it focuses on management decisions.

In order to ensure that the simulation is a truly exciting and realistic experience the plot develops interactively. A decision of the protagonists will lead to consequences in the course of the play. In order to guaranty this level of interaction role players can be utilized.

The simulation is designed to meet the expectations of a demanding target audience (high level government officials). It includes various individually designed multimedia components such as short movies, animations and other sophisticated media. Different screens with background information can be set up and provide a realistic “Cyber Operation Centre” feeling.

Moderator

The workshop will be moderated by Prof Dr Marco Gercke who for more than 10 years advises international organisations (such as UN, EU, ITU, Council of Europe,NATO), governments and large enterprises in questions related to Cybersecurity.He has conducted such simulations for various clients worldwide. He also acted as advisor and trainer related to legal/strategy/policy related issues in the field of Cybersecurity and Cybercrime for companies and governmental institutions in Asia.

The workshop also welcomes Dr. Hyung-Jun Seo, Director of Information Security Policy Research of the attached Institute of Electronic and Telecommunication Research Institute. He will share experience of Korea’s cybersecurity policy and some incidents in Korea.

Tentative Programme (23 March 2015)


Opening


08:00-09:00    Registration
09:00-09:20    Welcome remarks by Mr. Ioane Koroivuki, Regional Director, ITU Regional Office for Asia and the 
                       Pacific

09:20-10:30    Cybersecurity Framework

                        Recent developments in the area of Cybersecurity, Relevance for Thailand

10:30-10:45    Coffee break

10:45-12:00    Cybercrime Legislation

                        Cybercrime threats, how legislation can support the fight against Cybercrime, International best 
                        practices

12:00-13:00     Lunch break

13:00-15:30     Cybersecurity Incident Simulation

                         Addressing the challenges of Cybersecurity through legislation has great practical relevance for
                         those who are confronted with such challenges. The “Live Cybersecurity Incident Simulation”
                         demonstrates the implications of threats as well as existing or missing coverage of legislation on
                         businesses and government institutions in Thailand.    

                         PARTICIPANTS
                        
Unlike “live hacking“ demonstrations or technical drills the simulation does not focus on technical
                         aspects of Cybersecurity but management skills. It wasdesigned specifically for the high ranking 
                         government officials. 1-5 main players will take an active role and act as management board of a
                         company that is under attack. As mentioned above, technical skills are not required.

15:30-15:40     Closing
