With a view to improving computer security readiness in Mauritius a team of experts from the Computer Emergency Response Team of India will assist the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunications to set up the National Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-MU) in Mauritius. CERT-MU is a priority project earmarked under the National ICT Strategic Programme. It will aim at: - protecting our internet infrastructure by coordinating defence against and response to cyber-attacks
- analysing and reducing cyber-threats and vulnerabilities
- disseminating cyber-threats warning information and
- coordinating incident response activities.
CERT-MU will also interact with ministries and departments, the private sector, the research community and other stakeholders to disseminate reasoned and actionable cyber-security information to the public. In the immediate term, the project is expected to create direct permanent employment for Computer/Information system graduates while, in the long term, more jobs would be created (directly and indirectly) to sustain operational resilience and help organisations improve their operational resilience management capabilities.
