Summary

The team from OCSC, UN-ITU and GCSCC worked together with the Kingdom of Tonga in June 2018, at the invitation of Ministry of Meteorology, Energy, Information, Disaster Management, Environment, Climate Change and Communications (MEIDECC) and the CERT Tonga unit.

As part of this joint mission, UN-ITU conducted a review of Tonga CERT and worked with the Asia-Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC) to facilitate a national capacity building workshop for Computer Incident Response Teams (CIRTs) to further enhance the nation’s cyber security capacity.

Details

Aims

The aim of the CMM is to assess the country’s cyber security capacities in order to identify risk and threats and enhance its resilience.

Context

As part of the global constellation of capacity centres working with the University of Oxford’s Cybersecurity Capacity Maturity Model for Nations (CMM), at the invitation of governments, the OCSC conducts multi-stakeholder national cybersecurity capacity assessments.

The Global Cyber Security Capacity Centre (GCSCC) at the University of Oxford developed the CMM as a framework to facilitate the review of the maturity of a country’s cyber security capacity in consultation with 200+ international experts drawn from governments, international organisations, academia, public and private sectors, and civil society. The CMM continues to be refined through expert consultation, with the latest version released in March 2021. As of December 2021, the CMM has been deployed 120+ times in 87 nations across the globe.

Outcomes

The CMM review helped the Kingdom of Tonga to identify their own priorities for strengthening capacity and building resilience, providing a pathway forward for the next steps of the cybersecurity journey.

Activities

The CMM Review study visit was conducted in June 2018.
