Cyber Capacity
Building Programs
United States foreign policy often relies on effective foreign assistance programs to strengthen our national security and the rule of law globally, to counter terrorism, combat illicit drug and human trafficking, and prevent the proliferation of chemical, biological, and other hazardous materials. At the same time, today’s world is increasingly digital. Internet usage is pervasive. Mobile devices and computers deliver instant access to information and technology systems, while also enabling criminal, terrorist, trafficking, and other threats to the United States. Training is a significant part of most assistance programs.
Cybervance provides Cyber Capacity Building services to support this knowledge and skills transfer. This includes assessments, training, equipment grants, mentoring and more to implement United States foreign policy. Our process-based, structured programming is designed to meet goals and objectives with measured progress and outcomes to inform all stakeholders.
Cyber Program Success
Cybervance has a long history of supporting USG agencies in areas related to international capacity building programs. From foreign assistance capacity building to collaboration with partner nations, Cybervance services are comprehensive and turnkey. We provide initial assessments and planning, training across multiple cyber disciplines, equipment installations, operational support and mentoring. All of Cybervance’s services are supported by insightful reporting for program stakeholders needing to stay informed about key issues in plain English, not cyber-speak. Our logistics function handles everything needed for program success, including all equipment procurements, shipping, customs and duties processing, travel, and in-country event support.
Our services are tailored for international delivery. Our team is adept at making in-country, real-time adjustments to address regional and situational dynamics. We understand that cyber programming is part of a larger diplomatic mission, and we focus on achieving tangible programming results.
The Cybervance programming support model is customized for each country’s needs. Training courses build upon each other, thereby advancing knowledge, expertise, and cybersecurity capacity in employees and agencies over time. Many courses incorporate equipment and tools and lead to industry recognized certification. Mentorship and train-the-trainer programming reinforce operational capacity and lead to sustainment.
With an extensive background in law enforcement, our team brings specialized service delivery to cyber-related programs with a criminal or counterterrorism nexus.
