JamaicaEye : What does cyber security look like in one of the most recently developed CCTV networks?

Sammanfattning: The issue approached in this study is the possible gaps in cybersecurity in the Closed-Circuit TV system (CCTV) currently being implemented in Jamaica. During 2018, the government of Jamaica together with systems developers from MSTech Solutions developed and started to implement a video surveillance system with the aim to cover the entire nation to reduce criminal activities and create a safer society. To address potential problems of cybersecurity in this system, the purpose of this study was to explore which cybersecurity domains and factors were the most important in the JamaicaEye project. In order to examine such a purpose, the cybersecurity of the system is put into contrast with the cybersecurity domains of the C2M2 model to unveil similarities and differences in cybersecurity strategy and application. To be able to collect in-depth data of the JamaicaEye project, a hybrid of a field-and a case- study took place in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, during approximately 9 weeks. Data collection was carried out through interviews with representatives from the Jamaican government and the systems developer, MSTech Solutions. After compiling and transcribing the collected data from the interview the color coding and comparison of the results with the cybersecurity capability maturity model, C2M2, started. The C2M2 model was chosen as the theoretical framework for this study. The results of mapping the theoretical data with the empirical data gave underlying material and a perspective on the most important cybersecurity factors in the JamaicaEye system. This study will be a foundation for future expansion of the project in Jamaica, but also similar projects in other nations that are in need for cybersecurity development, management and assessment. Mainly, this study will be useful for those in the industry of development, analysis and assessment, and cybersecurity of CCTV systems.
