Risk based approach
With the understanding of the importance of Critical Infrastructure to the welfare of Belize,
the Strategy seeks to mitigate cybersecurity risks to acceptable levels by encouraging the
combination of cost benefit, acceptable risk and other qualitative and quantitative approaches
with the desired end result of the protection of Belizean people and economy.
Shared responsibility
Cybersecurity affects everyone and as a result it is a shared responsibility for all to exercise
cybersecurity best practices. Targeted awareness raising initiatives will be implemented through
the mobilization and partnership with civil society, academia and other interest groups across
Belize, to enable and empower end-users to keep themselves and their organizations safer online.
Fostering an environment for economic growth and innovation
Recognizing the importance of innovation and business development to our national economy, a
cyber-environment that is safe and conducive to such development will be fostered.
International Cooperation
The age-old statement ‘no-man is an island’ has become such a relevant concept in this digital
era. The need for comprehensive stakeholder cooperation has never been greater than it is today.
This Strategy focuses on the need to leverage international partnerships to investigate criminal
activities, build capacity and protect Belize’s cyberspace.
