Russian-language version of OSCE e-learning course on cyber/ICT security Confidence-Building Measures now available

The OSCE’s Transnational Threats Department released a Russian-language version of its new e-learning course on OSCE cyber/ICT security Confidence-Building Measures (CBMs) on 8 July 2021. The e-learning course was first launched in March 2021 in English.

The course aims to raise awareness about cyber/ICT security and CBMs among non-experts and to bolster the knowledge of experts toward further strengthening cyber/ICT security in the OSCE area. Cyber/ICT security CBMs offer concrete tools to enhance interstate transparency, communication, and co-operation in cyberspace. Since 2013, OSCE participating States have adopted 16 such measures.

The three-module course introduces the topic of cyber/ICT security and provides a detailed look at the 16 OSCE cyber/ICT security CBMs, including a brief discussion of their international and regional context. The course features interactive elements, such as a learning scenario and knowledge checks, as well as short videos where a number of OSCE participating States share their experiences implementing individual CBMs.

To access the e-learning course, participants are invited to register on the OSCE’s e-learning platform: https://elearning.osce.org.
