NSM, the Intelligence Service and PST have previously been commissioned to further improve cooperation and increased information sharing between the agencies and Kripos in dealing with cyber attacks and crime in cyberspace. The services and Kripos have proposed to the Ministry of Justice and Public Security and the Ministry of Defence that Kripos should also be involved as a permanent participant in the Common Cyber Coordination Centre. The proposal is being considered by the ministries. 7.7 Openness about cyber attacks The Government seeks openness about cyber attacks. On behalf of the Ministry of Justice and Public Security, NSM has previously drawn up recommendations on how openness about cyber attacks should be considered. The guidelines were drawn up in cooperation with Difi, POD, NorSIS and the Norwegian Business and Industry Security Council. Openness forms the basis for learning and helps enable the businesses to prevent, detect and manage incidents. This also provides businesses and the authorities with better prerequisites for understanding the challenges in cyberspace. At the same time, publication and information sharing is practised in such a way that the provisions relating to confidentiality are complied with and the advantages must be weighed against the possible negative consequences. The Government encourages public and private businesses to follow the recommendations on openness. 7.8 Analysis capacity Serious cyber attacks have become more advanced and more difficult to detect. It is time-consuming and skills-intensive to conduct analyses of such attacks. Despite the businesses being better able to manage incidents, greater complexity of each incident has resulted in a significant demand for NSM’s analytical competence. At the same time, NSM has limited analytical capacity to meet this demand. Therefore, the Government will strengthen the national capacity by improving NSM’s capability to detect and analyse serious cyber attacks against critical infrastructure and information, cf. Prop. 151 S (2015–2016) Fighting strength and sustainability. 8 Cyber security competence The Government wants to strengthen cyber security competence in Norway and ensure that expertise requirements for cyber security are addressed in society as a whole and in business and industry. Cyber security competence is a scarce resource nationally and internationally. The need for more and better educated cyber security personnel has been emphasised both in the Lysne Committee’s report, in Meld. St. 10 (2016–2017) Risk in a safe and secure society and in Meld. St. 27 (2015–2016) Digital agenda for Norway. In recent years, the Government has facilitated better education capacity and increased research on cyber security.
