DANISH CYBER AND INFORMATION SECURITY STRATEGY 2022-2024 Danes are becoming increasingly aware of cyber and information security3. However, there is a challenge in translating awareness into knowledge, skills, and action to boost cyber and information security. Cyber security requires top management commitment to make security a more integral part of the management function, and this requires the possession of the right skills. However, SMEs, in particular, lack the skills and resources to implement appropriate security measures. Moreover, there is a cross-cutting challenge in recruiting and retaining relevant cyber and information security skills. The demand for cyber and information security skills is great, but both authorities and companies find it difficult to obtain the right profiles for the tasks. Thus, there is a need to strengthen the supply of skills if security is to be raised across the board. “ 23 Finally, there is a need for initiatives to promote increased skills within the Danish population. Citizens must be able to act safely in the digital daily life. This applies to children and young people, as well as adults, so that they avoid, to the greatest possible extent, becoming victims of cybercrime or digital fraud. In order to ensure a high level of cyber and information security across society, the strategy launches several initiatives with a focus on increasing skills and providing a better foundation for top management commitment. Efforts targeting children, young people and adults through education will also be created, to make the Danish population more digitally literate. The survey Information Security among Danes 2020 has shown that knowledge about cyber and information security is not sufficiently widespread among the population and among employees in both government agencies and companies 3 Information Security among Danes 2020
