well as broaden the scope and target for cybercriminals. Hence, it is crucial for organizations to defend against risks associated with evolving technologies. However, the use of technology alone is not the only solution to successfully manage risks associated with sophisticated cyber-attacks. It is important that organizations in Vanuatu be more strategic about their ICT and Cyber Security approaches, and must continuously assess existing defences. Executing plans such as investing in ongoing Cyber Security capacity building programs, policies, regular incident response drills, and providing Cyber Security awareness campaigns are ways to achieving National Security. Furthermore, working effectively with collaborative partners that strengthen cyber security capabilities is an essential tool that can help Vanuatu and businesses to increase and improve cyber resiliency and literacy. Increased Cyber literacy will help combat the rise in cyber-attacks and cybercrime activities in Vanuatu, and across the globe. The National Cyber Security Strategy (NCSS) values and highlights the importance of Cyber Security for National Critical Infrastructure. It is important that all National Critical Infrastructures are identified and associated formally to lead agencies to ensure they take full responsibility and have that sense of ‘ownership.’ Such ownership encourages and motivates commitment that will drive appropriate security efforts to secure and protect Vanuatu. 6.1.
