The Workshop is hosted by the Ministry of Communications, Posts and Telegraphs of Myanmar
The Workshop is a joint effort of ITU and ASEAN Telecommunications and IT Senior Officials (TELSOM) that aims to provide a platform for cooperation, information sharing, and discussion on cybersecurity and with particular focus on CSIRT/CIRT/CERT policies, procedures, best practices, challenges and opportunities among participants from ASEAN Member Countries, in particular, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar and VietNam (CLMV) and ASEAN Dialogue Partners.
The Workshop aims to contribute to previous as well as ongoing global activities related to building confidence and security in the use of ICTs (WSIS Action Line C5) and is linked to the ITU Global Cybersecurity Agenda (GCA) and Hyderabad Action Plan Programme 2 (Cybersecurity, ICT Applications and IP-based network-related issues). It expects to bring together CIRT practitioners, senior government officials, cybersecurity experts, related industry players and other stakeholder groups from ICT and security sectors with the end in view of strengthening the countries’ CIRTs, their cybersecurity fundamentals as well as building a network of cybersecurity experts in ASEAN.
One important feature of the Workshop is the conduct of a cyber drill/simulation on the last day of the workshop. Thus, participation of your national CIRT practitioners is highly recommended. Please find attached a tentative Workshop Programme, for your reference.
Please be also informed that as co-organizer, ASEAN will be offering sponsorship to participants of Cambodia, Lao P.D.R., VietNam; and Myanmar (if they are not residing in Yangon), as well as speakers of some ASEAN Member States, inclusive of airfare, lodging and per diem.
