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.
