Commonwealth nCSIRT Capacity Building Programme: self-help guide
At the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in London in 2018, the UK and Singapore signed a Memorandum of Cooperation committing to collaborate to help support implementation of the Commonwealth Cyber Declaration across the Commonwealth. The project workshops introduced Commonwealth Member States to nCSIRT Maturity Frameworks as a way to develop and gauge their national cyber incident response capabilities and to identify and prioritise areas as next steps to maturity. They also provided important opportunities for network building and cooperation on cyber security across the Commonwealth. An area which was unanimously requested by the participating countries in the lead up to the event, was information regarding Open Source Monitoring Tools. It was highlighted that Shadowserver and Team Cymru are both reputable private companies who work with national CERTs, and many of the participating countries had already raised that they are indeed using data feeds from those companies already.
