This year’s programme will develop participants’ understanding of cybersecurity challenges and cybersecurity governance, from technological and security aspects to analysis of international and
political dimensions. The programme will address national and global cybersecurity policy issues; it will also address the role of policy-makers and international actors and review relevant national, regional and global best practices and policy frameworks.

Throughout

  • Examining the main threats of cyberspace and their technical, political, economic and organisational background;
