The GFCE Regional Hub for the Pacific aims to better understand the cyber capacity requirements of the Pacific Island Countries and Territories through actively engaging with national contacts or through diplomatic channels in a joint effort to raise their cyber capacities and to effectively combat potential cyber attacks.
It is an impartial and independent, but pragmatic, action-oriented, and responsive platform that focuses on empowering and upskilling Pacific communities and structures through ongoing collaboration with both donors and actors, including with implementers who can deliver cyber capacity building efforts which are tailored to suit the uniqueness of the Pacific at the national, sub-regional and regional levels.
The Hub offers practical advice, expertise and assistance to the Pacific Island countries that aligns with donor development programs in an effort to ensure a demand driven approach is at the forefront.
Furthermore, the Hub also provides timely access to the GFCE’s global network of expert Members and Partners who are able to deliver on the requirements of the respective countries with a view towards ensuring that each of the Pacific Island Countries and Territories have adequate levels of capacity, expertise, skillsets and resources to address cyber attacks in an effective and timely manner.
A key deliverable of the Pacific Hub is to build a facts-based understanding of the regional cyber capacity building environment to both ensure critical efforts are not duplicated and valuable resources are expended in an efficient manner.
The GFCE held its first regional Pacific meeting on cyber capacity building in February 2020 in Melbourne at the invitation of the Oceania Cyber Security Centre (OCSC).
In 2023, the GFCE with the OCSC organized the inaugural Partners in the Blue Pacific (PBP) Pacific Cyber Capacity Building and Coordination Conference (P4C) that was held in Nadi, Fiji from 2nd to 4th of October, where Pacific Islands countries and stakeholders came together to collaborate on effective future developments of cyber capacity building (CCB).
