Purpose and summary Slovenia’s cyber security strategy will improve the country’s cyber security assurance system, while also systematically regulating this area. Strengthening the overall system is necessary because of the ever-growing importance of cyber security for the smooth functioning of the systems the whole society depends on. Moreover, the state is encouraged and bound to do so by national and international strategic documents. An efficient cyber security assurance system is not and cannot be cheap, but it is incomparably cheaper than fixing any consequences that might arise as a result of security incidents if such systems were missing. The strategy comprises an overview of the situation in those areas that are relevant for cyber security assurance, outlining the vision and setting objectives. It further defines the areas where it will be implemented, as well as the risks occurring in cyberspace. The strategy proposes the way the cyber security assurance system should be organised, and the measures necessary for achieving the set objectives. 2 Cyber Security Strategy
