DIGITAL ECONOMY BLUEPRINT

CYBER SECURITY:

 

ƒ

Who regulates cyber security in your jurisdiction 

(ministry, regulatory body, etc.)? Is there a single 

regulatory body that manages all issues related to 

cyber security or are functions split across institu-

tions?

 

ƒ

Does your jurisdiction have laws on (1) cybercrime 

and/or (2) cyber security more generally? Is there a 

national security law that addresses aspects of cy-

ber security?

 

ƒ

If not, are there draft laws under consideration to 

address aspects of cyber security?

 

ƒ

Who is responsible for enforcement of laws and 

regulations related to cyber security in your juris-

diction? Are penalties appropriate to deter infringe-

ment but not too excessive that it deters reporting?

 

ƒ

Are  there  voluntary  guidelines  and  certification 

programs that guide industry self- regulation?

 

ƒ

What  hardware,  software,  and  organizational  re-

quirements for addressing cyber security apply to 

the local business community?

 

ƒ

Are there existing avenues for public-private di-

alogues on cost effective approaches to cyber se-

curity? Are there currently opportunities for the 

private sector to work alongside regulators and 

policymakers to create and uphold cyber security 

laws?

 

ƒ

Are businesses notified when a draft law is being 

developed, and is there an established process for 

providing comments?

 

ƒ

Have you engaged with frameworks regulating cy-

ber security at the regional or international level?

Increase coverage and use of broadband infrastruc-

ture  across  citizens,  businesses  and  governments 

through investment and partnerships in infrastruc-

ture for connectivity and devices.

vices and services particularly through reducing 

taxation on spectrum, telecommunications ser-

vices, and devices; the use of innovative business 

models; and shared access points such as Commu-

nity Innovation Hubs and postal outlets 

 

ƒ

Implement policies for incorporation of broadband 

into new-build infrastructure, particularly housing 

and commercial real estate, as well as subsidies for 

access.

agement of digital assets.
