NATIONAL CYBER SECURITY STRATEGY GREEN PAPER EXECUTIVE SUMMARY on a global basis, enabled by EU institutions and activities, based on the understanding that cyber security has no national boundaries. All six goals aim to cover two key strategic outcomes expected of the Strategy, namely: • Defending and protecting the national information infrastructure from cyber threats. • Ensuring the security, safety and protection of users of cyber space. The proposed strategic approach is by no means the end in itself. It aims to set the stage for feedback and detailed consultation. The consultation ensuing from the launch of this Green Paper is envisaged to: • Consolidate the high level requirements into more timely, specific and actionable measures • Potentially include further initiatives and requirements for cyber security within the local context The exercise is ultimately expected to lead to the launch of the National Cyber Security Strategy. The Strategy in itself would be expected to be periodically reviewed and updated so as to ensure its currency to evolving cyber security risks, realities and maturity of cyber security capabilities on the domestic front. 7 MALTA | NATIONAL CYBER SECURITY STRATEGY GREEN PAPER
