Enhancing Cybersecurity in Public Administration
In today’s digital age, cybersecurity has become a critical concern for public administration. The following key points highlight the importance of developing a resilient public administration that can withstand cyber threats.
Developing a Resilient Public Administration
- Develop a resilient public administration that can withstand cyber threats using state-of-the-art information sharing technologies.
- Consider high mobility and use the system in various states of exception and national defense readiness.
Cybersecurity of Essential and Digital Services
Ensuring the security of operators of essential services, digital service providers, and critical infrastructure operators is crucial for maintaining public trust. The following measures can be taken to enhance cybersecurity:
- Ensure the security of operators of essential services, digital service providers, and critical infrastructure operators (including telecommunications operators).
- Use industrial operational technologies (OT) to ensure undisturbed operation of the energy sector.
- Provide support to increase capacity and competences in cybersecurity of these entities.
Development of a Risk Assessment Methodology
A joint static and dynamic risk assessment methodology is necessary for national-level cybersecurity management. The following approach can be taken:
- Introduce a joint static and dynamic risk assessment methodology for national-level cybersecurity management.
- Consider the specificity of individual sectors, critical infrastructure operators, operators of essential services, and digital service providers.
Countering Cybercrime
Countering cybercrime requires cooperation between law enforcement agencies and other entities. The following measures can be taken:
- Provide support to operators of essential services, digital service providers, and critical infrastructure operators to detect and combat incidents at any stage.
- Establish and broaden interaction between law enforcement agencies and other entities that may have knowledge helpful in determining the substance of an offense or identifying the perpetrator.
- Ensure continuous information sharing on threats and vulnerabilities at national and international levels.
Key Actions
The following key actions can be taken to enhance cybersecurity:
- Develop criteria for identifying critical infrastructure operators and operators of essential services.
- Implement a minimum cybersecurity regime with a focus on business continuity management.
- Support digital service providers through European-level regulations and cooperation with international institutions.
- Complete the National Cybersecurity Platform project to develop methodologies and tools for static and dynamic risk assessment in ICT systems.
