4.3 Roles and Responsibilities
The role of Government in Cybersecurity is extensive;this is to be expected given the
vital role of ICTs in the nation, the wide range of threats and vulnerabilities and the
cross-sector nature of Cybersecurity. The Government will assume a variety of roles
including national level policy-making and citizen level capacity-building. However, it
should be noted that cybersecurity is everyone’s responsibility. Various stakeholders,
particularly private and independent sectors, play a leading and key role in ensuring
security in the cyberspace.
