Global Cybersecurity Index: Updated Report

The International Telecommunication Union and ABI Research are pleased to launch a follow-up report on the Global Cybersecurity Index (GCI), published in December 2014 at ITU World Telecom. In addition to showcasing the global and regional scores and rankings, the publication will include Cyberwellness Profiles of 196 sovereign nation states. Each country profile features information on measures contained in the five key pillars of the GCI, as enshrined in the ITU’s Global Cybersecurity Agenda, notably: legal, technical, organizational, capacity building and cooperation. Information on child online protection measures will be added to each profile. The GCI has been an ongoing project between ITU and ABI Research to map out cybersecurity efforts undertaken at the national level. Each of the six regions (Africa, Americas, Arab States, Asia Pacific, the Commonwealth of Independent States and Europe) saw regional champions emerge. Good practices from each region and from each of the pillars are highlighted in the new publication.
