Capacity building is a key priority for the Forum’s Centre for Cybersecurity. With technical and managerial capabilities lacking globally, it is essential to strengthen these capabilities to secure our digital future. The Cyber Polygon exercise developed by BI.ZONE is a fine example of the kind of training we seek to introduce, and we look forward to further collaboration on capacity building with Sberbank, a Founding Partner of the Centre.

Cybercrime is now more than just the money stolen: human lives and our environment could potentially be at risk. The probability of a global cyber crisis is growing every day. In order to prevent a catastrophe, it is necessary to invest in the protection of each individual company, increase the level of cyber literacy and develop competencies of technical specialists. That is the reasoning behind the Cyber Polygon exercise, which has already proven itself effective. I hope that subsequent exercises will bring even more value to the international community.

The results we have seen following this training prove just how important it is to have an established information exchange. To cope with the challenges of the future, we need to get to know each other, build a trusted environment around us and between one another.
