Cyber security industry in South Africa

I just have a few broad questions that I would like to get your thoughts and advice on if possible:
• What is the Government’s cyber security strategy for South Africa going forward? Has any research been commissioned / are there any recently published reports available that I could read?
• In relation to frameworks and standards to support the development of ‘good practice’, what standards or frameworks is the South African private sector looking at? For example, ISO standards (ISO 27000, ISO 15504), BSI Standards, NIST standards etc?

What is South Africa actively doing in terms of:
• Adherence to cyber security standards; • Internet infrastructure resilience; • Software quality; • Technical security controls; • Cyber security market place; and
• Responsible disclosure

Any information or advice on where to find such information would be highly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
