4.0 IMPLEMENTATION 4.1 Critical Success Factors The successful implementation of this strategy will broadly depend or be influenced by the following considerations: High-level ownership - It is essential that this strategy is endorsed by and driven from the highest body in Botswana and that it receives the full executive support in order to be successfully implemented. The National Executive should identify national business priorities and provide monetary and human resources needed to implement the strategy. In addition, the importance of this strategy needs to be understood across all sectors.  Cybersecurity Risk Assessment - The incorporation of risk management as a delivery area within the executive management (both public and private enterprises) provides a strong foundation for Cybersecurity implementation—covering the areas of people, process and technology. The security of digital infrastructure and information must be understood as vital and incorporated within all organisational functionality beyond technical solutions.  Resource Prioritisation - Identification and prioritization of key resources aimed at improving the country’s security, resilience, operational capacities to effectively manage and respond to cyber incidents as well as protect against ever persistent threats is crucial. Embedded within this area is the need to continuously improve operational capabilities to keep abreast with the level of sophistication of cybercrime as well as advanced persistent threats.  Human Capital - Efficient implementation of Cybersecurity requires highly qualified and skilled human resource across all sectors. The ability of institutions in both Public and Private sector to attain and retain skilled human resource is therefore important for maintaining and ensuring a strong protection approach against cyber threats especially with operators of Critical National Infrastructure (CNI).  Multi-stakeholder Approach - Managing compliance of all key stakeholders and actors within both the public and private sector provides assurance on improving the nation’s Cybersecurity maturity. This requires deliberate effort and initiative from each stakeholder to meet their obligations. A proper coordination of efforts is required with a view to conducting cyber drills among sectors and to ensure that national response and sector response are coordinated.
