At the CTU s 25th Anniversary ICT Week held in February 2015, the issue of Cyber Security and Cybercrime was again highlighted and in this case the meeting reviewed and updated the Caribbean Cyber Security Framework, which had been developed by the CTU and the OAS in At CSM II in March 2016 the Commonwealth Secretariat presented the outcomes of needs assessments conducted in five(5) Caribbean Countries and identified common needs/weaknesses. The main outcome of CSM II was the development of a comprehensive Action Plan for Cyber Security and Cybercrime in the Caribbean; one that would holistically address all aspects of the challenges and gaps identified. 9
