ASSISTANT secretary general of the Organisation of American States (OAS), 
Ambassador Albert Ramdin, says that Jamaica has made a sound choice of a 
model for its National Cyber Security Strategy (NCSS).

Speaking at the official launch of the strategy at the Jamaica Pegasus 
hotel in New Kingston on Wednesdayy, Ramdin congratulated the government 
on drafting and approving its NCSS in just under a year, and appointing a 
"dedicated multi-stakeholder", the National Cyber Security Task Force, to 
develop the strategy.

He said that the group, working with the OAS and other experts from 
partner institutions, has committed significant effort and time to develop 
a strategy that has met and followed international best practices and 
recommendations.

"I am sure that your experiences and approach will be valuable learning 
lessons for other Caribbean countries to take into consideration in 
drafting their own security strategies," he said.
