Diplo’s study ‘Cybersecurity Competence Building Trends‘, commissioned by the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, sets out the various measures that ten OECD countries applied to promote competence-building measures in the field of cybersecurity. Examples of confidence-building measures include the development of cybersecurity curricula at universities, the creation of hubs and innovation centres at universities in co-operation with the private and public sector, the evolution of professional education programmes, and the use of knowledge frameworks. The study was presented in April 2016, during the two-day Cyber 9/12 Student Challenge hosted by the Geneva Centre for Security Policy and the Atlantic Council.
