Since February 2023, the ITU Centres of Excellence programme was relaunched as the ITU Academy Training Centres (ATCs) programme, following the outcomes of the World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC) 2022 where the ITU membership adopted the revised Resolution 73.
The ITU Academy Training Centres programme takes the ITU’s capacity development work forward into the future. It directly contributes to building knowledge and skills among professionals in the ICT field thus enabling them to contribute to, and fully participate, in the digital transformation. CERT-MU again got designated by ITU to become the ITU ATC in the field of Cybersecurity since February 2023.
The ITU Academy Training Centres (ATCs) are internationally recognized institutions offering high-quality training to intermediate and senior personnel, with a focus on the needs of developing countries. ATCs are the core capacity development partners of the ITU, delivering high-quality courses addressing the most important training topics identified by ITU’s membership. In this endeavour, CERT-MU has conducted 2 training courses in June and September 2023 and is planning to conduct a third course in October 2023. The details are as follows:
Date | Training Course | Number of Participants |
14 – 16 June 2023 | Cyber Disaster Response: Development of Simulation Exercises | 68 participants |
28 August – 8 September 2023 | Network forensics: a practical approach | 83 participants |
6 – 27 October 2023 | The role of CSIRTs in the implementation of UN technical cyber norms | 45 participants |
18 – 29 March 2024 | Network forensics: a practical approach | 89 participants |
25 – 28 June 2024 | Cyber Threat Intelligence | 177 participants |
12 – 21 August 2024 | The role of CSIRTs in the implementation of UN technical norms and confidence-building measures (CBMs) | 48 participants |
1 – 4 October 2024 | Cyber resilience of critical information | 150 participants |
22 – 24 October 2024 | Cyber Disaster Response: Development of Simulation Exercises | 24 participants |
