Summary

The Global Cyber Security Capacity Centre (GCSCC) helped Zambia conduct a Cybersecurity Capacity Maturity Model (CMM) based on a methodical framework designed to review a country’s cybersecurity capacity.

Details

Aim

The aim of this project was to assist Zambia in carrying out a CMM review to provide evidence and data on the maturity of the nation’s cybersecurity capacity and to inform future development in this area.

Context

The CMM supports the review of cybersecurity capacity in terms of five dimensions: Cybersecurity Policy and Strategy; Cybersecurity Culture and Society; Building Cybersecurity Knowledge and Capabilities; Legal and Regulatory Frameworks; and Standards and Technologies.

The assessment aims to contribute 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 were identified and filled with scalable and effective measures, in cooperation with international partners.
