Cyber security is critical to the safety and prosperity of society. It is a core component of all industries, with cyber threats increasingly posing one of the greatest challenges to national security.
However, just looking internally is no longer enough. Governments around the world have recognised that to successfully meet today’s cyber security challenges, collaboration with allies and partners is vital. They have also realised the transformative nature of international cyber security cooperation. By addressing cyber security challenges, the joint investment from cooperating governments also contributes to the social and economic prosperity and the achievement of sustainable development goals.
These are the drivers behind Cyber Capacity Building (CCB) – a well-established concept that has come to the fore over the last decade.
What is Cyber Capacity Building?
CCB involves countries working together and strategically investing to build up cyber security capabilities and capacity.
While the term has different meanings to different people, it acts as a catch-all term for a broad range of activities. At its essence is the ability for nations to collaborate in order to protect and promote their joint interests in and through cyberspace – both domestically and internationally.
Key benefits of building Cyber Capacity include:
- Building a stable and reliable cyber-space for wider use
- Promoting regional stability and prosperity
- Enhancing global situational awareness by building capacity for nations to share threat intelligence
- Building strategic relationships between nations
- Growing the digital economy through international (digital) trade
- Strengthening national autonomy on the international stage
- Moving towards sustainable development goals
- Addressing upstream threats by hardening permissive environments
- Upskilling workforces to close the cyber skills gap
