The CREST Cyber Accelerated Maturity Programme (CREST CAMP) is the first international capacity-building initiative to focus on developing cyber service providers and the skilled professionals they rely upon. It provides a vehicle to accelerate cyber capability in countries that have identified the need to improve the maturity of their cyber ecosystem.
Collaboration is at the heart of CREST CAMP, leveraging the experience and expertise of the global cyber community to unite those who want to grow their cyber ecosystem and meet current regulations, with those who want to help create a unified and safer digital world.
CREST CAMP will fund participating organisations as they progress through our new accreditation and membership model called The Accreditation Pathway, and utilise a network of CREST Members, training providers and national authorities to enable organisations to self-assess their capabilities against our standards, identify their maturity state and gain a greater understanding of their domestic, national and international markets.
As a participating organisation in CREST CAMP, you’ll benefit from:
CREST CAMP is funded through contributions from government development budgets and philanthropic grants.
The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) awarded a grant to CREST to trial CREST CAMP in Armenia, Bahrain, Georgia, Ghana, Kenya, Lithuania, Malaysia, Oman, Philippines, Qatar; and Thailand.
The grant has been made from the FCDO’s International Security Fund (ISF), Global Cyber Programme. This portfolio is focused on building cyber capacity overseas, including both country specific and global funds. The CREST CAMP grant is awarded from the global fund, enabling us to have a far-reaching impact where the opportunity and need are greatest.
