3.1 KEY ELEMENTS FOR A SUCCESSFUL STRATEGY1
To secure the Gambian cyberspace demands the provision of adequate
protection to all ICT systems, networks and critical infrastructure. The
challenge is the lack of technology specific skills most systems owners and
operators lack hence the need for cybersecurity products and services. The
success of this cybersecurity strategy is based on the following six elements:
1. People and entities mobilized to secure each ICT System
2. People and entities in capacity to provide cyber security technology
and services
3. The GM-CSIRT to operate the national Cybersecurity Centre
4. The Gambia Police Force and Justice to fight cybercrime
5. Promote Awareness, training and education for all stakeholders
