The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) has formally sealed a partnership with the Republic of Korea to establish the country's first National Cyber Security Center (NCSC). Once fully operational, the NCSC will function as the country’s central authority for tracking digital threats, deploying rapid incident response, and handling cross-government cyber crisis management. Beyond monitoring infrastructure, the multimillion-dollar project is heavily structured around capacity building, focusing on modernizing state information security networks, building a national cyber threat response system, and training a new generation of skilled local tech professionals.
