The successful establishment of Tonga’s CERT.to has sparked interest from other Pacific Island states on developing their own security response capabilities.
We are now working with other Pacific economies to help them develop CERTs, funded by a grant to the APNIC Foundation by the Australian Government.
We also signed an MoU with FIRST to formalise the relationship there – bringing the security community into the APNIC community at conferences and events around the region, sharing security training curriculum
