V Moreover, to manage cyber threats, appropriate laws and structures must be developed to address incident management. This Policy provides for relevant legislation, regulations and guidelines to be developed and the establishment of organisations to support Cyber security initiatives and enable the Government to assume the lead role in ensuring a safe and secure cyber environment. The successful implementation of this Policy hinges on effective coordination amongst the implementing agencies and sufficient and sustainable resourcing through Government and industry commitment. The onus is on the lead implementing agencies to develop appropriate strategies and advise the Government from time to time to commit necessary resources. The Policy will be reviewed from time to time to ensure its objectives continue to be relevant and commensurate with the fast advancing pace of technological development. I must stress here Cyber Security and Cyber Protection is every one’s responsibility and not the Government alone. I call on all Government agencies, partners, international institutions, businesses, policy makers and practitioners to partner and collaborate with my Department and Ministry to develop cyber security capability and capacity that promotes inclusive development towards the Digital Economy and ensure a cyber safe Papua New Guinea. HON. TIMOTHY MASIU, MP Minister for Information and Communication Technology.
