Summary
The team from OCSC, UN-ITU and GCSCC worked together with governments and CERT units in Pacific Oceania. Tonga, Papa New Guinea, Samoa, and Vanuatu, received a review of the status of their Cyber Emergency Response units, as well support from the Asia-Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC) to facilitate national capacity building workshops for Computer Incident Response Teams (CIRTs) to further enhance national cyber security capacity.
Details
Aims
The aim was to assess and assist Pacific Oceania countries’ cyber security capacities, in order to better identify risks and threats, and enhance cyber resilience in the region.
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.
Outcomes
The CMM review helped beneficiary nations identify their own priorities for strengthening capacity and building resilience, providing a pathway forward for the next steps of the cybersecurity journey. National CMM Reports produced for nations to help inform future approaches to CCB.
Activities
- CMM review study visits to four select countries from 2018 to 2020.
- Interviews with Public, Private, and Civil Society Stakeholders.
- ITU and the Asia-Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC) facilitated national capacity building workshops for Computer Incident Response Teams (CIRTs) further enhance national cyber security capacity.
