CyberDrills

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Cyberdrills

​ITU empowers countries to enhance their cybersecurity readiness, protection, and incident response capabilities by conducting dynamic cyberDrills at both regional and national levels. These ITU regional cyberDrills create a powerful platform for collaboration, fostering discussions and sharing critical insights on emerging cybersecurity challenges. They also offer hands-on exercises tailored for national Computer Incident Response Teams (CIRTs) and Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs)​, driving tangible improvements in their preparedness and response strategies.

​​​O​BJECTIVES​

​
​The ITU Regional CyberDrills are dynamic, high-impact events designed to:

  • Elevate cybersecurity capacity and capabilities through robust regional collaboration and cooperation.
  • Empower countries to enhance their awareness and ability to actively participate in and shape the development and deployment of strategic defenses against cyber threats.
  • Strengthen international cooperation among Member States, ensuring sustained, unified efforts in countering cyber threats.
  • Boost Member States' incident response capabilities and enhance intercommunication for swift, coordinated action.
  • Support Member States in developing and implementing effective operational procedures to respond more efficiently to diverse cyber incidents, while identifying opportunities for future planning and improvement in CIRT processes and operational procedures.

​STRUCTU​RE AND FORMAT

 
​Days 1 and 2 are all about empowering participants through dynamic capacity-building sessions and engaging workshops, including those focused on critical infrastructure protection, COP, Cybersecurity Strategies, International Discussions on Cybersecurity related themes.

Day 3 is the pivotal conference day, featuring insightful presentations and thought-provoking panel discussions on the most pressing issues, cutting-edge assessments, and emerging trends in cybersecurity threats.

Days 4 and 5 are action-packed, centered around immersive scenarios that simulate real-world cyber incidents. Participants tackle a series of high-impact attacks, meticulously crafted by ITU experts on the Cyber Range platform. Here, participants are challenged to investigate, analyze, and develop effective mitigation strategies. These hands-on exercises are designed to sharpen skills, validate policies, and enrich plans, procedures, and processes, ensuring robust preparation, prevention, response, recovery, and continuity of operations.
