We
look at the strategy from
a multi-dimensional perspective. As mentioned
earlier, the digitization of the world has made
everything interconnected and interdependent,
from man to machine through ICT enabledtechnology, internet, mobile-based devices, or
smart devices (the concept of Internet of Things
or loT). This is achieved through the application
of policy, education, training and awareness,
and technology. The government aims to
institutionalize information security across all
government agencies down
to the smallest
operating units of the government. The NCSP
shall provide the guidelines and the minimum
compliance requirements to jumpstart
implementation of information security in the
government.
