The minister of communication and information technology Afamasaga Rico Tupa'i said government and the business sector should work together to protect the development of the country's economy from cyber attacks.
He is challenging the country to volunteer to help government to protect and fight against cyber crimes.
Mr Tupa'i said the plan was to help Samoa innovate online.
"It's a concrete step towards a safer Samoa. It's an initiative to ensure that your information is safely guarded and that your privacy and security is top priority of government," he said.
