"CISA - Building Cyber Hygiene Capacity in Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia"

The US Homeland Security Department's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) emphasizes that cybersecurity is a worldwide problem. A system or network vulnerability exploited on one side of the world can have global repercussions, directly affecting critical infrastructure. In order to make cyberspace safer and more secure for everyone, the CISA Global Strategy encourages capacity development with international partners. CISA conducted a series of capacity-building engagements in Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia in March. The workshops on cyber hygiene focused on highly interdependent sectors, such as national defense, banking, business, aviation, and shipping. During the workshops, CISA cybersecurity and vulnerability management experts discussed Information Technology/Operational Technology (IT/OT), Industrial Control Systems (ICS), threat actors, threat intelligence, cyberattack frameworks, workforce development tools, and case studies of prevalent attacks. The need to develop greater cooperation between IT and OT, raise awareness of phishing and other attack vectors within organizations, and develop the cybersecurity workforce in the public sector arose as major themes. This article continues to discuss the first-of-their-kind capacity-building engagements conducted by CISA in Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia.
