The Office of Counter-Terrorism provides UN Member States with the necessary policy support and spread in-depth knowledge of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, and wherever necessary, expedite delivery of technical assistance.

As part of this, the Cybersecurity and New Technologies programme aims to enhance capacities of Member States and private organizations in preventing cyber-attacks carried out by terrorist actors against critical infrastructure. The programme also seeks to mitigate the impact of cyber-attacks and recover and restore targeted systems should such attacks occur.
