Committed to connecting the world

Pacific Cyberdrill

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) organized Pacific CyberDrill hold from 8-10 December 2020. The ITU Pacific CyberDrill hosted virtually due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and associated risks and restrictions related to travel and gatherings.

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased worldwide the reliance on information and communication technologies (ICTs). ICTs have allowed people to be productive and engaged even while social distancing. Such increased reliance on ICTs has also posed significant challenges to cybersecurity with increased cyber threats.

The planned 2020 ITU Pacific CyberDrill is a capacity building event which aims to enhance the communication and incident response capabilities of participating teams and promote collective efforts by national Computer Incident Response Teams (CIRTs) and Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs).
