Goals
GOAL 1
Develop the necessary organizational structures
Policy Statement: Existing organizational structures within the country will be
fostered, a National Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) will be created and a strengthening of the cooperation with regional organizational structures like the PAC CERT will be evaluated.
The objectives for Goal 1 are:
Objective 1
Create a National Cybersecurity Steering Committee (NCSC)
chaired by the DG responsible for ICT. The NCSC will take the
overall lead in the coordination of the implementation of the
Cybersecurity policy and the process of carrying out the necessary
tasks.
Objective 2
Identify all existing government and non-government institutions
that are currently active in the field of Cybersecurity and fighting
Cybercrime. Special attention should be paid to the identification
of potential local points of contact in rural areas. Drafting of a report about the mandate, resources and experiences, and analysis of
potential areas for synergy, overlapping and gaps.
Objective 3
Identify local contact points in rural areas that can facilitate the
collection of input about recent developments as well as spreading
information to the communities. Within this process public private
partnership approaches shall be taken into consideration.
Objective 4
Establishment of a National Computer Emergency Response Team
(CERT) that is capable of dealing with relevant Cybersecurity
threats for citizens, tourists, businesses and government in
Vanuatu. The CERT shall also provide computer forensic services
within criminal investigations involving computer technology or
electronic evidence. In addition the CERT shall be responsible to
monitoring developments and ensuring that information about
current trends and risks (such as Vanuatu specific phishing attacks
or the detection of skimming devices in the country) are communicated through the different channels. Within the development of
the national CERT a possible outsourcing of services to regional
organizations such as PacCERT should be evaluated.
