The ITU 2021 Global CyberDrill

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) will be hosting the annual Global CyberDrill online from September until November 2021.

 

The ITU improves cybersecurity readiness, protection, and incident response capabilities of Member States by conducting CyberDrills at the regional and international levels. A CyberDrill is an annual event during which cyber-attacks, information security incidents, or other types of disruptions are simulated in order to test an organization’s cyber capabilities, from being able to detect a security incident to the ability to respond appropriately and minimize any related impact. Through a CyberDrill, participants are able to validate policies, plans, procedures, processes, and capabilities that enable preparation, prevention, response, recovery, and continuity of operations. The 2021 Global CyberDrill will tailor event sessions around four thematic concepts:  Reflect, Share, Learn and Practice.
