ITU Regional Asia-Pacific CyberDrill

BACKGROUND

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) strives to enhance the cybersecurity readiness, protection, and incident response capabilities of its Member States. This is achieved through conducting CyberDrills at both national and regional levels, which serve to test an organization's cyber capabilities.

In the past decade, ITU has conducted thirty-four CyberDrills involving over 120 countries. These nations are dedicated to improving cybersecurity on a national and global levels. ITU CyberDrills are hosted at global, regional, and national levels.

The 2024 ITU Regional Asia-Pacific CyberDrill is scheduled to take place in the fourth quarter of 2024, with a to-be-confirmed location. This fully physical event aims to unite the cybersecurity community across the region and foster international cooperation. The drill will underscore the crucial role of national and other relevant Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs), in building cyber resilience and safeguarding critical information infrastructure.

PURPOSE

The event provides a platform for analysis and discussion on regional and national requirements, actions, initiatives, and capacity building through cyber incident simulation labs. Governments, institutions, and/or national CSIRTs are invited to participate with their technical staff specializingsia-Pacific ITU member states in cybersecurity, among other crucial interregional aspects. Governments, institutions, and/or national CSIRTs are invited to participate with their technical staff specializing in cybersecurity and managerial representatives.

OBJECTIVES

Reflect, Share, Learn, and Practice.

Reflect: Bring together the global cybersecurity community to review major regional cybersecurity trends and consider improvements based on the five pillars of ITU Global Cybersecurity Agenda (GCA) and The Global Cybersecurity Index (GCI).
Share: Promote knowledge sharing of beneficial communication networks, and exchange funding stream resources.
Learn: Build capacity for the CSIRT communities within incident response and critical information infrastructure protection (CIIP).
Practice: Test operational resiliency key concepts across CSIRT/CIRT/CERT community.
