Public-private partnerships are a cornerstone of effective cybersecurity. For decades, the international cyber capacity building community has aspired to establish modalities that would make such partnerships sustainable. The evolving nature of policy challenges – from strengthening cyber resilience, countering ransomware or supporting countries in war – raises new questions about the role of the private sector as a member of the cyber ecosystem.

• What are successful private sector involvement models (government-led, private sector-led, donor-led, or other) in support of effective, affordable, and scalable cyber capacity building solutions?

• How should cyber capacity building actions evolve to support a holistic enabling environment for cyber resilience that empowers local players and locally led development?
