related factors, including country-specific strategies, international cyber priorities, and
cybercrime and prosperity objectives;
use existing networks and relationships with our key international partners to share
information about current and nascent threats, adding value to existing thought and
expertise; and
Attribute specific cyber identities publicly when we judge it in the national interest to do
so.
The Government shall measure its success in countering the actions of hostile foreign actors by
assessing progress towards the following outcomes:
the stronger information-sharing networks that we have established with our international
partners, and wider multilateral agreements in support of lawful and responsible behavior
by states, are substantially contributing to our ability to understand and respond to the
threat, resulting in a better defended Sierra Leone; and
Our defense and deterrence measures, alongside our country-specific strategies, are
making CIRT-SL a harder target for hostile foreign actors to act against.
4.2.4 PREVENTING TERRORISM
The technical capability of terrorists currently remains limited but they continue to aspire to
conduct damaging computer network operations against Sierra Leone, with publicity and
disruption as the primary objective of their cyber activity. The Government shall identify and
disrupt any terrorists use and intending to use cyber for this purpose. In doing so, we will
minimize their impact and prevent an uplift in terrorist cyber capability that would further
threaten SL networks and national security.
To ensure the threat posed by cyber terrorism remains low, we will:
detect cyber terrorism threats, identifying actors who are seeking to conduct damaging
network operations against Sierra Leone and our allies;
investigate and disrupt these cyber terrorism actors to prevent them from using cyber
capability against Sierra Leone; and
Work closely with international partners to enable us to better tackle the threat from
cyber terrorism.
