4.0 National Cyber Security Vision Statement Security is about securing and protecting technologies, processes and most importantly about protecting people. It has been famously quoted “Security is everyone’s business” and therefore, it needs a holistic effective approach with robust solutions to address the ever increasing frequency and sophistication of cyber-attacks. “National Cyber Security Strategies can take many forms and can go into varying levels of detail, depending on the particular country’s objectives and levels of cyberreadiness. Therefore, there is no established and commonly agreed definition of what constitutes a National Cybersecurity Strategy.” The National Cyber Security vision is supported, guided and echoed through numerous goals of the National Sustainable Development Plan – 2030, the National Security Strategy and through the National Cybersecurity Policy of 2013. To be precise, it is stated in the Vanuatu National Sustainable Development Plan (NSDP) 2030 in 3 pillars namely the Society Pillar-5 (SOC5): Security, Peace and Justice; the Environment Pillar-2 (ENV2): Blue-green Economic Growth; and in the Economic Pillar-2 (EOC2): Improve Infrastructure in Vanuatu usually require the national critical infrastructure to be secured, protected and well managed. These NSDP Goals and objectives endorses the implementation of the National Security Strategy of 2019 in which Pillar-5 of the National Security Strategy pledges the need of the National Cyber Security Vision. The National Cyber Security Vision of the Republic of Vanuatu recognizes an open, secure and protected Internet or cyberspace, where all citizens of Vanuatu and tourists who visit Vanuatu ought to enjoy the luxury of a fast Broadband service. This vision is also shared among all critical infrastructure and businesses whereby an enhanced interoperability capability is encouraged in all business continuity services and processes. In addition, the utilization of the essential services by all sectors such as in ICT services and, or the use of Internet of Things (IoTs) for information sharing, access and data collection. The National Cyber Security vision strives to establish security mechanisms to enable organizations and users to access a secure and safe Internet with no fear of being a victim of an organized or an unintentional cyber-attack, cybercrime and, or cyber-enable crimes. As a nation, both National Security and Cyber Security frameworks outlining approaches require a broader vision with sets of goals and objectives to support action plans. This means the entire National Cyber Security framework should co-exist as a process at all levels of government, organizations, communities and schools. These processes will provide assurance to all cyber security personnel, stakeholders and organizations with an effective sustainable level of security.
