| Summary: | The importance and dependability on the Internet by the Critical Information Infrastructures (CII) of countries for their daily operations has triggered the need to protect such infrastructures against cyber threats. This is because operational disruptions to the CII will have a major negative impact on the country such as threats to the national security and economy; inability of the government to function; and risking public safety to name a few. A lot of countries are coming up with cyber security frameworks mainly for the protection of the CII. This paper looks at the cyber security initiative of five (5) countries to determine what are the important elements to be considered in developing such framework. © 2016 International Information Institute. |
