Page 3 of 3 Impact is set to develop four key pillars in its charter: cybersecurity training and skills development; global response centre; security certification, research & development; and policy, regulatory framework & international cooperation. It will train teachers to deliver hands-on courses in key cybersecurity skills such as forensics, intrusion detection and penetration testing so that regardless of income levels every country can provide world-class training to its cyber defenders. The Secure Application Development program will support local academic institutions that train each nation's programmers. This will include developing faculty skills and providing essential tools to enable them to weave secure coding and secure application design into their educational programs, ensuring that every application is built securely by well-trained programmers. SANS' Internet Storm Centre will enter into a partnership with Impact (and with other countries through Impact) to empower developing nations to participate fully in its early warning system. Lastly, the joint initiative will expand the weekly cybersecurity news to cover developments in and relating to these countries.
