Jamaica moving to improve technology sector

May 30, 2013

KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC – The Jamaica government says it will soon implement a cyber emergency response team (CERT) to assist in the protection of the island’s internet infrastructure by coordinating defences against and responses to cyber attacks and threats.
Minister of State in the Ministry of Science, Technology, Energy and Mining, Julian Robinson, said that CERT should become operational by December and that the team will serve as a trusted national point of contact/clearinghouse for cyber threat identification, defence coordination and management.
Robinson said it would also enable the development of an infrastructure for coordinating response to threats, and conduct incident, vulnerability and artefact analyses. It will also help organisations develop their own incident management capabilities.
