Vanuatu’s Cyber Capacity & Literacy Priority Goals: Design and develop a holistic Cyber Security education and capacity building framework, where all stakeholders need to combine and play a role instead of operating in silos. Increase and improve Cyber Capacity, Talents and Literacy in Vanuatu, especially for the Government, private sector organizations, communities, churches and individuals who either do businesses and, or access the Internet and technologies in Vanuatu. To achieve this goal Vanuatu is empowered to:  Assess Vanuatu’s current Cyber Security Capacity capability.  Assess Vanuatu’s current capacity building programs (trainings, workshops and formal education) for Cyber Security and National Security.  Design and implement capacity building programs that were outlined as ‘recommendations’ in the Vanuatu CMM Assessment Report of 2019.  Design and develop various Cyber Security bundles to improve cyber security knowledge across all sectors thus increase cyber literacy.  Design and develop a National Capacity Building Plan and Program (CBPP)  Design, develop and enforce effective Awareness Raising campaigns.  Facilitate, design and develop a Cyber Security Research and Development Hub for Vanuatu.  Secure financial Support for ongoing capacity building programs. “CYBERCRIME is defined as any crime that is committed using a computer or network or hardware device.” - By Symantec Corporation 7.4 Addressing Cybercrime The fear and challenges of Cybercrime and cybercriminal activities continue to impact nations, industries and communities as the steady advancement of electronic information technology systems enabling more online businesses and online transactions. Cybercrime is a global problem which needs a coordinated national and international response. It creates uncertainty within the business environment thus, pushing nations and governments to act swiftly to secure and protect critical infrastructure from cybercriminals. Rapidly combating cybercrime activities require a fair understanding of all forms of crime: the physical crime, cybercrime and cyber-enabled crimes. These knowledge can help organizations and Internet users understand all types of crimes associated with ICT as well as understand cybercrime motives. It is also important that all stakeholders involved must understand our legal frameworks, have established communications strategies and plans, and must set out clear Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to enhance investigation and mitigation processes. For Vanuatu to positively address cyber-attacks and combat cybercrime activities, there must be concrete basis and backing from all stakeholders, especially the law enforcement – Vanuatu Police Force, the Legal and Standards bodies, ICT, Security agencies, Internet Services Providers (ISPs) and other critical infrastructure agencies. Over the years, digital stakeholders are genuinely concerned about:     the frequency of information security breaches and malware incursions; the need for e-security awareness and education; the roles played by the law and law enforcement; and the installation of current security applications and systems. While not necessarily criminal in nature, some stakeholders also expressed deep concerns over the use of computers for cyberbullying and harmful digital communications such as online abuse, particularly involving younger and school aged users.
