This Action requires the initiation of a programme to train a cadre of citizens to secure information flows. This Action focuses on the training of professionals, not creating general awareness. This Cybersecurity Strategy identifies the following major activities: • Adopt a national Cybersecurity Skills Framework; • Create a continuum of cybersecurity job descriptions; • Identify commercially available cybersecurity certifications; • Deliver or manage commercial delivery of training or certification examinations; • Periodically measure Cybersecurity skills and training levels; • Invest in mainstream cybersecurity education and research; • Build cybersecurity capacity of national companies; and • Work with global partners such as IMPACT to coordinate cybersecurity training; It is important that prosecutors and judges have some understanding of areas such as computers, software, and networks as well as of the increasing importance of electronic evidence. Similarly, legislators should have some understanding of those topics and of whether a country’s laws are adequate to address cybercrime. It may also be helpful to train senior policy-makers, government officials, about the threats to electronic networks (for example, how the national banking system could be attacked) and about the threats posed by electronic networks (for example, the use of the Internet to locate vulnerable children for sexual trafficking).
