Abstract :

In its report on Cybersecurity in the United Nations system organizations (JIU/REP/2021/3), the Joint Inspection Unit (JIU) recommended the executive heads of the United Nations system organizations to present a comprehensive report on their cybersecurity framework to their governing bodies, covering elements contributing to an improved cyber resiliency.
This document aims to address the JIU recommendation by providing a comprehensive overview of the cybersecurity framework as currently implemented in ITU's network. It emphasizes the critical operational elements that ITU is employing holistically to enhance its cyber resiliency and preparedness for dealing with cyber incidents.
It should be noted that the July session of Council 23 approved the recommendation of the Independent Management Advisory Committee (IMAC) to further strengthen the ITU cyber security posture (C23/22 - IMAC Annual Report, and C23/25). Furthermore, the digital transformation document presented to council 23 included also references to strengthening cyber security services.
