Minister of National Security, Dr Horace Chang, says that to further protect citizens from the evolving threat of cybercrime, the Government is working towards the development of a National Cyber Policy in 2020.

Speaking at a Cybersecurity and Cybercrime Workshop for Latin America and the Caribbean at the Hilton Resort and Spa in St James today, the minister said that additionally, “we will also be seeking to ensure that the entire government service has a reliable and robust cyber platform on which to operate and deliver quality and safe online service”.
This, he added, is being accomplished through the National Cybersecurity Strategy and the commendable work of agencies such as e-Gov Jamaica.

He said the new National Identification System (NIDS) Bill will further strengthen Jamaica's cybersecurity framework [...]
“In other words, the NIDS will provide Jamaicans with enhanced protection from cyberthreats and cyberattacks,” the minister emphasised.

Chang pointed to the collaboration between the Jamaica Cyber-Incident Response Team (CIRT) and the Organization of American States (OAS) Inter-American Committee against Terrorism (CICTE) as one such partnership.
He said that through this partnership, Jamaica is working to develop an early warning system, which will include the security information and event management (SIEM) system network.
