We're reframing the way you think about #cybercapacitybuilding💡 Through OCSC's work in the #Pacific, one theme has emerged: cyber capacity building (#CCB) is not a set and forget exercise. Instead, CCB efforts must be as dynamic as the threats they face. Across the CCB community, outputs and activities can be seen as siloed projects that are confined to the organisation or implementor that they're conducted by. However, in order to maximise the impact of CCB interventions, they must be considered as part of a wider process in a country's journey to #cybermaturity. Introducing the #Cyber Capacity Building Lifecycle. The Lifecycle reframes CCB activities as interrelated parts of the path to improved #cyberresilience. This view is aimed at improving the outcomes of these activities, maximising resources and improving efficiencies.

Acting Director for Digital Transformation Office & Chief Information Security Officer for the Government of Kiribati
Thursday, 8th August 2024, New York, USA—After nearly three years of negotiations, history has been made with the adoption of the first globally legally binding instrument by the Ad Hoc Committee tasked with elaborating this UN Cybercrime treaty. It's a proud moment, and we thank the chair for her patience and her team's exemplary leadership. The mission has finally ended for this first phase; next will be the ratification process, and Kiribati remains committed to ensuring we ratify the convention at the best possible time. The Pacific has been strong throughout this final negotiation process and I would like to thank our small but mighty team including Tupou Kafa Vainikolo, Tupou Baravilala, John Jack, Karoliina Ainge, our Nauru, PNG, Palau, New Zealand, Australia and our Council of Europe colleagues who have been supporting our participation throughout this negotiation process. Thank you all!

On Friday in NY, two and a half years of negotiations on the UN Convention against Cybercrime were concluded. It’s been a rollercoaster. When it began, the proposed Convention had many provisions that were dangerous for human rights and political freedoms. But the end result has strong protections for freedom of expression and personal data. Australia led the charge on establishing international offences against child exploitation and abuse, working closely with our international partners including from the Pacific. The work of the Aus delegation, led by Briony Daley Whitworth, has been remarkable. Her personal drive and commitment to getting a better Convention led to this result. We now have a truly global framework to cooperate on countering cyber crime. Now over to UNGA before Aus will consider becoming a party to the Convention.

Across the #cyber #capacitybuilding (CCB) landscape, practitioners are in agreement that "one size does not fit all". How then, can CCB programs help host countries improve their cyber resilience, whilst taking into account their unique needs and priorities? The OCSC #CybersecurityRoadmap provides a tailored, streamlined pathway toward cyber maturity for recipient countries based on their national contexts. Furthermore, it can provide an evidence base for CCB donor programs, reducing waste and inefficiencies and enabling better prioritisation of funding.

🎤 Speaking at the #GCSCC2024 conference in Oxford this week, OCSC’s Director of Research Prof Carsten Rudolph discussed the need for sustainable partnerships in #cybersecurity Using the context of the #Pacific, Carsten highlighted the importance of timing when incorporated the private sector in #cyber capacity building. While recognising the useful roll public-private partnerships can play in capacity building, he stressed that these #partnerships need to be demand driven by recipient countries. Doing so will maximise the impact of interventions and lead to better outcomes for all stakeholders 💡 Monash Information Technology Global Cyber Security Capacity Centre (GCSCC), University of Oxford Oxford Martin School

This week the Global Constellation of Cyber Security Capacity Centres are excited to be celebrating the 10 year anniversary of the Global Cyber Security Capacity Centre (GCSCC), University of Oxford. In the last decade the #CMM has been deployed more than 120 times in over 85 countries. Founded on the efforts of Prof. Sadie Creese, this has contributed to cybersecurity entering the forefront of global #diplomacy and #policy. While a lot has been achieved in 10 years and yet the global challenges remain urgent. The Constellation partners will continue to work with governments around the world to help them understand their #cybersecurity priorities and to strengthen capacity building responses to address these challenges now and into the future. #GCSCC2024 #cyber #OCSC C3SA_UCT Oxford Martin School
