key. The ability to build trust and relationships with key stakeholders (industry, international Cybersecurity organizations and sovereign states) is important due to the fact that cyber threats span various jurisdictions.  International Cooperation - The nature of cyber space is borderless and complex; this implies that managing risk is a shared responsibility beyond Government alone. Various key players besides GoB including NCII operators, businesses, private sector, academia, civil society and citizenry should share this responsibility based on harmonious collaboration. International collaboration is therefore key in ensuring presence of capacity and mechanisms to handle cyber threats from a foreign adversary as well as provide assistance to international allies when required. 4.2 Governance Framework There shall be a governance structure, which will oversee the implementation of the National Cyber Security Strategy. It is recommended that a multi-stakeholder National Cybersecurity Advisory Council (NCAC) , comprising representatives from the private sector and relevant Government institutions and agencies, should be established. The Advisory Council will oversee the operations of Botswana Computer Incidence Response Team (BWCIRT) and overall implementation of the National Cybersecurity Strategy. The BWCIRT will act as the Secretariat of the National Cybersecurity Advisory Council. In addition it is also recommended that a specialised function, separate from mainstream BWCIRT duties, of a Cybersecurity Operation Centre (COC) be established in order to ensure that the country is well prepared for all Cyber threats. The COC should deal with the threats and attacks of the highest level. These should be those attacks, the objective of which threatens the security, sovereignty and economy of the republic of Botswana. Such threats could be either state sponsored (such as espionage, cyber conflict) or non-state actor activities such as terrorism. Because of the nature of its assignment, COC should be established and managed by the National Security agencies. The strategy also recommends the establishment of Digital Forensic Laboratory (DFL) to assist with processing and analysis of the electronic evidence. It is recommended that Botswana Police Service is mandated to take the lead in establishment of the DFL. Various sectorial CIRTs may also be established in order to assist the various sectors in responding to the Cyber Security challenges. The coordination and sharing of information of the sectorial CIRTs will be done through the BWCIRT. 29 | P a g e National Cybersecurity Strategy
