Social and economic growth: Societies are built on the strength of their cyber capabilities. Business and social existence has become dependent on IT. Developing Nations will be faced with a difficult task of establishing a strong cyber base. The success of a developing business will be largely defendant on whether or not they can earn the trust of the population. The foundation of consumer trust is dependability; how confident are we that a business will provide optimal service. In the day and age of IT, dependability is built around being able to protect sensitive data and ensure the safety of owner of sensitive information. In addition, personal and professional communication exist primarily through internet technology. Gallup.com released and article identifying research shows IT is the primary means of communication for Americans under the age of 50 (Newport, 2014). With both factors being considered, it is vital for developing Nations to possess their own cybersecurity workforce. (Radunović, 2015)
Critical Infrastructure development: Critical Infrastructure is the heart beat of any society. The life span or quality of critical infrastructure requires healthy cyber programs. Critical infrastructures such emergency services, medical services, highways and utility plants and essential human needs. These infrastructures are ran via internet technology (Carmen Ferro, 2010). Internal sources of upkeep can help ensure a developing nation has full control over the efforts applied to protecting these services. (Radunović, 2015)
Cost Efficient: Outsourcing for cybersecurity services can be costly, more costly than funding it internally. Cybersecurity carries a big ticket. According to Cloudmak.com $71 billion worldwide was spent on cybersecurity and it was expected to increase in 2015 (Cloudmask.com, 2015). A developing nation may not be monetarily prepared to maintain such an expensive reoccurring bill. In addition to not being affordable, it would not be wise and could likely be a sure definite way of accumulate a debt before completely standing up. (Gelvanovska, 2013)
Risk of Wealthy Nations not Sharing the Knowledge
The largest risk for wealthy nations who fail to assist smaller nations in strengthening their cybersecurity workforce is the risk of developing poor relations. World relations is very important and for an established nation to extent critical assistance to a developing nation can embed trust, camaraderie and ultimately a string union. Healthy relationship between nations are foundations for great business opportunities.
Non-governmental Contricutions
One of the best things a non-governmental organization can do to aid the development for cybersecurity incident response is share information like cyber-attack experiences and best practices with other agencies. I n addition it would be a great benefit for the organization and other organizations if they regular had an investment in cybersecurity forums alike the Governance Forum (Gelvanovska, 2013). Events were organization of similar interest connect for strengthening can help tremendously.
