The training has attracted more than 50 participants. The meeting is partly sponsored by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.

"As the coordinator of global internet infrastructure, ICANN decided to support the training because any point of failure strains the entire network," said Ann-Rachel Inne, Africa liaison at ICANN.

The training, which was first offered to ccTLD managers in the Asia-Pacific region, is covering topics such as risk assessment, contingency planning, dealing with denial of service attacks and predicting and preparing for disaster.

Business continuity and recovery from cyberattack or disaster are important for any economy, said Chris Evans, a senior consultant at U.S. security firm Delta Risk, which is conducting the training.
