Republic of Mauritius - National Cyber Security Strategy products and IT enabled services in the public services (e-Government services to citizens), education (e-learning, virtual classrooms) and financial services (mobile banking, Internet banking). Such initiatives have enabled increased IT adoption in the country. In the light of the growth of the ICT sector in Mauritius, providing the right focus for creating a secure computing environment has become one of the compelling priorities for the country. Cyber space is vulnerable to a wide variety of incidents which could hamper economic, public health, safety and national security activities. Reputation, trust and brand value can all be seriously affected by information loss and theft. However, with rapid identification, information exchange, investigation and coordinated response and remediation, the damaged caused by malicious activities can be mitigated. The protection of information infrastructure and preservation of the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information is the essence of a secure cyberspace. Due to the dynamic nature of the cyberspace, there is a need to address the security challenges and issues. These actions are unified under a National Cyber Security Strategy which sets out guidelines, measures and action plans that will provide reasonable assurance of resilience and security to support national missions and economic stability. A secure society makes it easier for both individuals and businesses to plan their activities, which in turn boosts economic activity as well as improve the country’s appeal for international investors. The implementation of the strategy is planned over a period of 5 years from 2014 to 2019. 16 | P a g e
