🇺🇸🛜🔐🇫🇯 The United States is a global leader in cybersecurity and we believe in helping our partners build a safer digital future because strong cybersecurity means stronger communities and stronger partners!
🤝 Last December, with @USTDA, we formalized a Grant Agreement on ICT Modernization Technical Assistance with the Ministry of Policing and Communications to upgrade the tools that keep Fijians connected.
📄 In March we began supporting the Fiji Government with the implementation of their first ever National Cybersecurity and Resilience Strategy alongside our partners to build stronger online defenses.
🌐 In April we worked with security agencies to develop and lead Operation Silktail, Fiji's first national cyberattack exercise where they engaged in cyberattack scenarios and response protocols.
We will continue to provide American expertise to help safeguard citizens, critical infrastructure, and other networks from malicious threats.
