CMM Review Cambodia 2023

Summary

The Global Cyber Security Capacity Centre (GCSCC), as implementor, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), as funder, and the Cambodian Department of ICT Security of the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications, as  partner, are undertaking a review of Cambodia’s cybersecurity capacity maturity levels.

Details

Aim

The aim of this project is to carry out a Cybersecurity Capacity Maturity Model (CMM) and provide a review of Cambodia’s capacity infrastructure. Such an assessment aims to give stakeholders a better understanding of national and critical infrastructure cybersecurity capacities while being able to prioritise investment and make strategic decisions.

Context

In November 2022, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and Government of the Kingdom of Cambodia agreed on technical cooperation for the Project for Improvement of Cyber Resilience. In Cambodia, CamCERT, a National CSIRT, is affiliated with the Department of ICT Security of the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications. The collaborative effort aims to support the Department of ICT Security in the improvement of its cybersecurity capacity, and to strengthen the cyber security resilience of the digital society of Cambodia in the future.

Outcomes

The assessment contributes towards achieving cybersecurity resilience not only through gaining a more profound understanding of international cybersecurity capacity but also by increasing effective investment into cybersecurity capacity based on a rigorous analysis of data collected through the model implementation. Through the application of the CMM, critical gaps in all areas of national cybersecurity are identified and filled with scalable and effective measures and cooperation.
