Papua New Guinea Cybercrime Policy 2014 3.   Guiding  Principles     The   development   of   an   effective   legal   and   regulatory   framework   in   accordance   with   the   Guiding  Principles  will  result  in  a  better,  trustworthy  and  secure  ICT  environment.     This  Policy  seeks  to  provide  a  legal  and  regulatory  framework  to  –       • Protect  Papua  New  Guinea  communities  from  cybercrime;     • Preserve  our  cultural  and  traditional  values;     • Create  safer  cyber  environment  for  all  users;       • Build  confidence  in  electronic  commerce;     • Ensure   that   Papua   New   Guinea   laws   on   Cybercrime   are,   to   an   extent   where   possible,   in   harmony   with   other   regional   and   international   laws   dealing   with   Cybercrime  (and  Cybersecurity  issues);     • Promote   and   enhance   international   cooperation   in   addressing   and   combating   Cybercrimes;     • Enhance   and   strengthen   Papua   New   Guinea’s   law   enforcement   capacity   in   addressing  and    combating  Cybercrime  (and  Cybersecurity  issues);     • Create   and   increase   awareness,   education   and   training   on   Cybercrime   (and   Cybersecurity  issues)  within  Papua  New  Guinea;  and     • Ensure   effective   coordination   and   collaboration   amongst   all   stakeholders,   especially  the  law  enforcement  agencies.       4.   Cybercrime  and  Cybersecurity     Cybercrime   and   Cybersecurity   are   often   misconceived   to   mean   the   same   thing.     Cybersecurity   refers   to   “the   collection   of   tools,   policies,   security   concepts,   security   safeguards,   guidelines,   risk   management   approaches,   actions,   training,   best   practices,   assurance   and   technologies   that   can   be   used   to   protect   the   cyberenvironment   and   organisation   and   users’   assets1.”   In   essence,   Cybersecurity   is   the   deterrence   of   Cybercrime.   Deterring   cybercrime   should   be   an   integral   component   of   any   national   cybersecurity  and  critical  information  infrastructure  protection  strategy2.         Cybercrime,   on   the   other   hand,   refers   to   offences   committed   using   electronic   devices,   systems  and  or  networks3.    Cybercrime  is  broad  concept  however  it  can  be  divided  into   the  following  four  (4)  subcategories4  to  be  better  understood  -­‐                                                                                                                             1 nd  Understanding  Cybercrime,  2  Edition,  ITU,  2011,  Chapter  1,  Page  17   nd  Understanding  Cybercrime,  2  Edition,  ITU,  2011,  Chapter  1,  Page  17   3  “Cybercrime”  and  “Computer  Crime”  are  often  used  interchangeably.  However,  there  is  a  fundamental  difference  between  the  two   terms.   Although   it   is   impossible   to   come   up   with   a   single   comprehensive   definition,   “computer   crime”   refers   typically   to   crimes   related   to   computer  data  and  systems.  Such  crimes  do  not  necessarily  require  the  use  of  computer  networks  to  commit  them.  “Cybercrime”  refers  to   offences  where  computer  networks  are  used.  Although  not  every  computer  crime  is  a  cybercrime,  the  emerging  use  of  computer  networks   and  the  interconnection  of  computer  or  electronic  system  merges  the  meaning  of  both  terms.     2     P|7
