Summary
The ASEAN Cyber Capacity Programme (ACCP) is an initiative established by Singapore in 2016. Focus areas under the programme include cyber policy, legislation, strategy development as well as incident response.
ASEAN Cyber Capacity Program (ACCP) aims to build cyber capacity in ASEAN Member States. It enhances regional ability to respond to the evolving cyber threat landscape and builds a secure and resilient ASEAN cyberspace. It also seeks to complement regional cyber capacity building efforts, delivering programmes targeting senior ASEAN officials.
The programme targets ASEAN policy officials, diplomats, prosecutors as well as technical operators and analysts. Trainers of the programme are selected from the INTERPOL Global Centre for Innovation in Singapore, ASEAN Dialogue Partners, academics from institutes as the Centre of Excellence for National Security (CENS) at the S.Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS), the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) and other relevant agencies.
