​​​​​​​CCSBD – Centre of Cyber Security and Big Data

When you think of sustainability, cyber security probably doesn’t spring to mind as one of the industries on the front lines, but each SDG includes a digital component, although some are more digitally focused than others. While the development community continues to invest to achieve the SDGs by digitising societies and building "smart" infrastructures, there is often an underestimation of the cyber risks and threats that come with increased use of ICTs and digitalization, such as insecure hardware, issues around internet bandwidth, malicious manipulation of information and data, and increased reliance on apps.

Recognising these challenges, the Centre of Cyber Security and Big Data (CCSBD) is working to support the development of and strengthen cyber capabilities to be better protected and better equipped to respond to cyber threats. CCSBD also works with communities to enhance awareness and educate the public about the importance and usage of big data by instilling appreciation for big data and cyber security through its various programmes.
