Today, SamCERT successfully hosted our first Government Information Security Workshop of 2026! It was a great turnout of IT and cybersecurity practitioners from all government agencies come together to strengthen our national defense.
Key Takeaways:
- Threat Intelligence: We gained valuable insights into the regional landscape thanks to a presentation by Australia DFAT Cyber RAPID Team.
- Setting the Standard: We conducted an in-depth review of the Cybersecurity Incident Response Standard—a core pillar of Samoa’s Information Security Policy 2024.
- Empowering Agencies: The session provided practical guidance for agencies to develop and refine their own Incident Response Plans (IRPs).
Cybersecurity is a team effort. By sharing information and coordinating our response efforts, we are making Samoa a harder target for cyber threats.
