Description
As governments increasingly rely on digital communication tools, emerging threats from AI-driven cyberattacks and post-quantum decryption risks pose significant challenges. This three-hour interactive training is designed for government officials, cybersecurity leaders, and policymakers seeking to enhance data sovereignty, compliance, and secure communication strategies in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
Participants will explore:
- The Legacy Challenge – How outdated GSM networks and consumer messaging apps create security vulnerabilities.
- The Data Ownership Challenge – The risks of AI-driven data processing, cloud jurisdiction issues, and compliance gaps.
- Future-Proofing Government Communication – Best practices for secure collaboration, AI-enabled threat mitigation, and preparing for post-quantum encryption.
Through real-world case studies, hands-on exercises, and expert insights, attendees will develop practical strategies to protect their digital identities, sensitive government data, and critical communication infrastructure.
Members of governments, cybersecurity agencies and regulatory bodies.
Designed for the audience described above, priority will be given to LDCs and SIDS countries engaged in Cyber for Good.
Number of available places for each cohort: 50 accepted participants
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify Communication Security Risks – Understand the vulnerabilities of legacy GSM networks and consumer messaging apps, including AI-driven threats that expand the attack surface.
- Assess Data Ownership and Sovereignty Challenges – Evaluate data sovereignty, compliance risks, and AI-driven privacy concerns in government communications, ensuring secure and jurisdictionally compliant solutions.
- Prepare for the Future of Government Communication – Explore how AI, post-quantum cryptography, and regulatory frameworks will shape the future of secure government collaboration, enabling resilient and future-proof communication strategies.
This three-hour training provides a clear, actionable framework to help governments strengthen secure communications, navigate compliance risks, and transition toward AI-driven and quantum-resistant solutions
