The Global Forum on Cyber Expertise (GFCE) is a multi-stakeholder platform that aims to strengthen cyber capacity and expertise globally through promoting international collaboration, increasing awareness and reducing duplication of cyber capacity building efforts. As the main coordinating platform for cyber capacity building, the GFCE connects needs, resources and expertise whilst making practical knowledge available to the global community.

During the first part of this Open Forum, President of the GFCE Foundation Board Mr. Christopher Painter will introduce the GFCE to participants and outline the roadmap that the community will follow over the coming years.

This year is an important milestone for the GFCE as it celebrates its 5th anniversary. Panelists will describe the various tools and means of cooperation developed by the GFCE community over the past years, looking at the impact that the GFCE has had and how these tools can be utilized in achieving the GFCE’s long-term goal of strengthening cyber capacity and expertise globally through international collaboration.

The last part of this webinar will discuss more in depth future projects that the GFCE will be implementing, outlining how the GFCE aims to ensure that cyber capacity building incorporates a regional focus with a clear target of addressing widening capacity gaps related to cybersecurity.

The session will round off with a Q&A, with the audience able to ask questions to panelists.
