New Technologies and Risks to Online Security
Debate - 60 Min
This Open Forum follows the dialogue already opened in the workshop at the WSIS Forum 2023 ""Cybersecurity and cyber resilience: Development of cyber capacities in the emerging economies" organized in May 2023. https://www.itu.int/net4/wsis/forum/2023/Agenda/Session/521 Capacity building is essential for enhancing cybersecurity in developing countries. By providing education, training, technical infrastructure, and promoting awareness and collaboration, capacity building initiatives can help to build stronger, more resilient cybersecurity programs that can effectively protect individuals, organizations, and national security interests. Developing countries often lack sufficient cybersecurity expertise, including skilled personnel who can design, implement, and maintain effective cybersecurity programs. Capacity building efforts can help to address this shortage by providing training and education to local professionals. In relation with infrastructure, developing countries may also have limitations, such as secure networks and systems. Capacity building programs can help to build technical infrastructure that is necessary for effective cybersecurity. Many individuals and organizations in developing countries may not fully understand the importance of cybersecurity or the potential risks and threats they face. Capacity building initiatives can help to raise awareness and understanding of these issues, and promote good cybersecurity practices. Cybersecurity threats are often global in nature and require collaboration and coordination between countries and organizations. Capacity building programs can help to foster relationships and partnerships between different stakeholders, including governments, private sector organizations, and civil society groups.
