Greetings from AJCCBC: 15th AJCCBC Cybersecurity Technical Training
As the world becomes more interconnected and more devices are linked to the Internet, maintaining a safe and secure environment for citizens and businesses is an enormous challenge for governments, especially when cyber criminals constantly deploy innovative malicious tools to attack unsuspecting targets around the world. Moreover, the shortage of competent cybersecurity experts in the public and critical information infrastructure (CII) sectors further increases cybersecurity risk and exposes nations to potential cyber-attacks that could severely impact social and economic well-being.
ASEAN-Japan Cybersecurity Capacity Building Centre (AJCCBC) was established under the guidance of TELMIN/SOM in 2018 and funded by Japan ASEAN Integration Fund (JAIF 2.0) with the aim to develop a cybersecurity workforce of 700+ over 4 years to enhance the capacity of cybersecurity experts and specialists in the AMS by providing trainings and other activities to participants from AMS.
To enhance the capacity of cybersecurity personnel of ASEAN Member States for the creation of more robust cyberspace amidst the pandemic in which the usage of cyberspace has been increasing, AJCCBC, with the support from the Government of Japan and ASEAN nations, has conducted 15th Online AJCCBC Cybersecurity Technical Training, concentrating on (1) Incident Response/ CYDER and (2) Network Forensics on 27th September – 1st October 2021.
The training has the objective in enhancing the capacity of cybersecurity personnel for the subjugation and reduction of cyber threats, which also has been improving themselves. The training was conducted within a 5-day period: the first 2.5 days focused on Incident Response/ CYDER and the remaining 2.5 days on Network Forensics.
Despite the invalidity of in-person training due to the policy to limit COVID-19 exposure, the participants from ASEAN Member States have harvested fruitful knowledge in protecting their respective organizations and countries. The Centre still looks forward to contributing more to the region.
Glad to be part of making our cyber society stronger!
