7.2 Framework for cyber incident management
The Government is committed to strengthening cooperation between different parties to manage
serious cyber attacks. The Government has decided to establish a national framework for dealing
with cyber incidents. An initial version of the framework will be completed in 2017 (see box 7.1).
The framework describes the national structure of how Norway organises itself to manage cyber
incidents. This will help relevant parties to effectively exercise their responsibility in a coordinate
national response in the event of cyber attack. The framework will also describe early warning and
information sharing procedures and establish a homogeneous system of concepts. The correct information to the right time is crucial for companies to prevent, detect and manage cyber incidents,
and to make sure they have a proper picture of the situation. Information sharing between businesses, CERTs, ministries and NSM is crucial to this.
Box 7.1 National framework for cyber incident management
The framework will contribute to
clarify responsibilities and roles for the government and other key parties in cyber incident
management
communicate what public and private businesses must be prepared to deal with themselves,
and what kind of support and coordination they can expect from the National Security Authority (NSM)
