The Oceania Cyber Security Centre and the Global Forum on Cyber Expertise have announced they are partnering together to launch a new global forum aimed at addressing cyber security in the Pacific region.

The inaugural Pacific Cyber Capacity Building and Coordination Conference – also known as P4C, will take place in Nadi, Fiji, from 2 to 4 October.
