Nowadays the economic development and social well-being of nations is relying more and more on Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and the use of cyberspace. This worldwide interconnectedness has brought and continues to bring economic, social, cultural benefits and cybersecurity challenges. Nevertheless, the human factor i.e., the demand for cybersecurity expertise has been recognized as an important element in cybersecurity. Internationally, several standards have been published to help countries developing their national frameworks to invest in cybersecurity capacity building. Developed countries have been making significant efforts to develop their national cybersecurity capacity and build an inclusive and innovative information society where all citizens became not only conscious, but also have the know how to handle cybersecurity issues. On the contrary to developed countries, developing countries (and specifically African countries), cybersecurity is still a challenging process. For instance, in Mozambique there is an evident lack of programs or initiatives related to cybersecurity in general. Therefore, this paper presents some internationally accepted frameworks related to cybersecurity capacity building as well as the current level of cybersecurity capacity building in developed and developing countries such as United States of America (USA), Germany, Mauritius and South Africa. Furthermore, it proposes a new conceptual model for cybersecurity capacity building for Mozambique. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
