Action plan 2015–2018
In order to put the cyber security strategy into action, it is proposed that a special cyber security
council shall be appointed, consisting of representatives of the government bodies involved in the
implementation of the strategy., Moreover, a cyber security forum should be set up, representing
stakeholders both public and private entities.
The Cyber Security Council
Supervision of implementation of the strategy is to be the responsibility of the Cyber Security
Council, which will be appointed by the Minister of the Interior. The Cyber Security Council
will coordinate measures, particularly those involving government bodies. It will review the
action plan at least once a year and make proposals on the prioritisation and funding of
measures taken. The Cyber Security Council will submit a report to the Minister of the
Interior every year on implementation of the strategy.
The Cyber Security Forum
This is a collaborative venue for representatives of public bodies who sit on the Cyber
Security Council and of private entities. The forum will be able to coordinate projects
involving stakeholders, in part or in their entirety, and create a basis for collaboration on
specific projects, addressing cyber security in demarcated areas.
