technologies enhance daily living, the need to secure and protect citizens must be the core of business models, policies and strategies. High-level dialogues are encouraged whereby top-level management must lead as well as take ownership of the cyber security affairs in Vanuatu. Over the years Vanuatu has transitioned progressively and effectively through the ICT and Cyberspace development, and these efforts are summarized in Figure 3. It is also crucial that Vanuatu must identify and strive to strengthen National Security by protecting its cyber-border at all times. Therefore, to leap forward in terms of cyber security or national security, Vanuatu must portray and envision a practical, yet robust national security hierarchy system. This will ensure a holistic development approach is entailed and executed to achieve Vanuatu’s 2030 cyber security Priorities. Figure 3: Cyber Security Development over the past 10 years 3.5 The Ideal National Cyber Security Hierarchy at Glance The National Cyber Security Strategy (NCSS) of Vanuatu is summarised in numerous ways. Figure 4 depicts a proposed future National Cyber Security framework that provides the ideal security hierarchy at a glance. It portrays the expected National Cyber Security framework with respect to the needs of Vanuatu on how National Security is designed with the need of including various leading agencies. The purpose of the National Cyber Security hierarchy in this strategy is to help pave the way for Vanuatu’s Cyber Security priorities. It is a visionary and ideal holistic security perception displayed in this strategy to help decision makers, technical experts and readers. Such holistic view provides an overview of how various entities or components of the Cyber Security hierarchy interact with each other. For example, various agencies established under this ideal framework have a purpose which directly links to Vanuatu’s National Security, the Cyber Security layer and finally the Information Security and Governance layer as shown in Figure 4.
