The Government of Eswatini is inthe early stages of operationalizing the National Computer Security IncidentResponse Team (CSIRT) under the telecommunications regulator, the EswatiniCommunications Commission (ESSCOM). Currently, the Government-s cybersecuritycapacity is nascent, with limited operational capacity to mitigatecybersecurity risk or threats. The National CSIRT function is now active withinESSCOM and has a limited team of staff in place to work on operationalizing theCSIRT fully.Operationalizing and building thecapacity of the National CSIRT is strategically vital for nationalcybersecurity, risk mitigation, and fostering trust in digital services. AsEswatini embraces digital transformation, the absence of a CSIRT leaves thecountry deeply vulnerable to incidents that could disrupt services and causeeconomic losses, and a secure digital environment is essential for thesuccessful adoption of digital services, a core goal of Eswatini-s GovernmentDigitalization Strategy. As part of the World Bank-ssupport to Eswatini for this critical area, funding has been provided from theWorld Bank Cybersecurity Trust Fund to help support the development ofcybersecurity capacity in the country, including the development of theNational CSIRT. The Government along with ESSCOMwishes to undertake an exercise to develop a clear and robust Action Planneeded to understand the steps required to fully operationalize the NationalCSIRT in Eswatini, including all steps required to develop the CSIRT into afully operational agency that is sustainable and effective for the long term.In addition to this, it is also looking to undertake a series of trainings inparallel to this work to help improve the capacity and capability of the nascentCSIRT to prepare it for implementation of the steps in the Action Plan.
