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.
