BACKGROUND


The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) aims to improve the cybersecurity readiness, protection, and incident response capabilities of Member States by conducting CyberDrills at the national and regional level. This event where cyber-attacks, information security incidents, and other disruptions are simulated, help to test an organization’s cyber capabilities. Over the past ten years, ITU has held over thirty CyberDrills partnering with more than 100 countries committed to improving cybersecurity at both national and global levels.

This event was organized by the Telecommunication Development Bureau (BDT) of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and hosted by the Digital Security Authority of Cyprus within the framework of the ITU Regional Initiative for Europe on Trust, and confidence in the use of telecommunications/ICT’s  and the ITU Regional Initiative for Asia and the Pacific on Contributing to a secure and resilient information and communication technology environment, as agreed by 2022 World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC-22).
