4.1.2 Specific aim 1.2: strengthen the institutional framework to ensure effective governance in cybersecurity Faced with the increasingly complex threats and challenges cybersecurity involves, the Government of Senegal owes it to itself to provide a strong leadership and effective governance. For this, it is essential that the Government creates an institutional framework which encourages and enables cybersecurity activities to be coordinated quickly and promptly, combined with a coherent, structured approach. This framework will articulate and attribute a set of functions relevant to cybersecurity governance in our country, comprising reviewing SNC2022 regularly, strategic advice and leadership, monitoring cybersecurity initiatives, coordinating detecting and responding to cyber-incidents at national level and preparing private and public organisations and those who have or use IT systems in Senegal in particular. Expected outcomes: 4.1.2.1 An operational centralised adequate governance structure has been created. 4.1.2.2 A coherent, effective national approach to develop, implement and coordinate cybersecurity operations in Senegal is effective. Actions: 4.1.2.1 Establish a national cybersecurity structure which will implement SNC2022 and be responsible for developing and coordinating national cybersecurity operations. 4.1.2.2 Implement the CERT/CSIRT national structure in the shape of a unit within the national cybersecurity structure with precise defined functions and responsibilities, including responding to incidents. 4.1.2.3 Identify the relevant public and private sector institutions and use them to make up a consultative committee on cybersecurity whose purpose will be to advise our national cybersecurity structure on matters of strategy. 4.1.2.4 Set up a cyber-defence command and control centre. 4.1.2.5 Strengthen the powers of the defence and security forces and their resources used in combating cybercrime, particularly in using investigation and evidential procedures effectively against crimes and offences committed using digital resources or IT networks. 4.1.2.6 Draw up a cyber-defence strategy which defines our national approach to the cyberthreats facing our national security. 13
