Dear Listers, This week, KICTANet made general comments on the issue of Regular Institutional Dialogue, with the Chair of the Open-ended Working Group on the security of and the use of information and communications technologies 2021-2025. KICTANet suggests that civil society can facilitate dialogue and collaboration to ensure coordinated approaches to cybersecurity capacity building. Stakeholders should also be onboarded on national cybersecurity committees and CERTs for better coordination. States need to invest in projects such as training courses and knowledge-sharing resources aimed at increasing capacity to improve people’s, businesses, and governments’ cybersecurity expertise.
