PRIORITY AREAS <a aes => oe Taking into account the state of cybersecurity readiness of Belize and the developmental goals for the coming years, this Strategy has identified three areas of priority which will be focused on for the next four years. The aim of these priority areas is to build the capacity of Belize to better address cybersecurity threats. Each area identified will include specific activities that address gaps such as the capability to identify and respond to cyber incidents. The other aim is to increase the overall awareness of not only government personnel on threats and tools needed to counter them but the general citizenry. Additionally, recognizing the need to have a comprehensive legislative framework in place, the Strategy outlines critical steps that can be taken to better enable the legislative posture of Belize to address cybercrime as a security risk.
