It is a great honour for the Digital Security Authority and more broadly for Cybersecurity in the Republic of Cyprus to organise the ITU Europe & Asia-Pacific Interregional CyberDrill event, which will be held in Cyprus from 28 November to 1 December 2023, by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) at the St Raphael Hotel in Limassol. The purpose of the conference is to unite the cybersecurity community and promote international cooperation in Europe and Asia.
Over the last decade, the ITU has held 34 CyberDrills with the participation of more than 120 countries, aiming to improve cybersecurity at the national and global level, but also to cooperate, exchange information and develop discussions on topical cybersecurity issues, as well as to contribute to National Cyber Security Response Teams (CSIRTs).

The ITU CyberDrills are hosted at global, regional and national levels and it is worth noting that this is the second time it is being held in Cyprus as it was also held in 2018.
At the opening of the Conference, the Commissioner for Communications, Mr. George Michaelides, the Deputy Minister of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy, Mr. Philip Hadjizaharias and the Head of the ITU Office for Europe, Mr. Jaroslaw Ponder will address the audience.
