gender, race, nationality, ethnic origin, language, religion, political affiliation and
other criteria, which remain underestimated and rarely remediated or countered.
An increased information security level and the creation of favourable
conditions for certain activities of both public and private actors, including for simple
users of the information systems, are the basic priorities for national policy to ensure
the information security of a State of law. The achievement of these actions implies
the existence of an updated and comprehensive regulatory framework, which would
cover the main issues in the informational security field. In thi s respect, in the
Republic of Moldova, the Strategy for Informational Security and the Activity Plan
for its implementation have been approved. Therefore, the purpose of the Strategy is
to ensure the protection of fundamental rights and freedoms, democracy and rule of
law in the informational space.
The classification of risks, threats and vulnerabilities, as well as the
systematization of activities ensuring informational security, contribute to an
increased trust level in cyberspace, a fact that is reflected in the Strategy for
Informational Security of the Republic of Moldova.
The aim of the Strategy is to legally correlate and systemically integrate the
priority fields with responsibilities and competences to ensure informational security
on the national level based on cyberresilience, multimedia pluralism and institutional
convergence in the security area with the aim of protecting the sovereignty,
independence and territorial integrity of the Republic of Moldova.
Thus, the Strategy provides concrete and clear mechanisms for identifying,
counteracting and responding to informational security threats, as well as the
deadlines for achieving the objectives for its implementation.
The mechanisms and objectives included in the Strategy are oriented toward s
the creation and updating of the normative framework and the implementation of the
technical performance and programme components that will confront the challenges
from within and outside the country, staff training and intensifying cooperation with
national and international competent bodies.
In this regard, the Strategy provides for the creation of an integrated
communication and evaluation system for the informational security threats and the
elaboration of operative response measures. This involves the creation/designation of
an entity as a national cybersecurity incidents response centre that would be the single
point for reporting cybersecurity incidents for competent public authorities,
individuals and legal entities. The creation of a national co mputer emergency
response team would strengthen the team network on the territory of the Republic of
Moldova and ensure a fast response to incidents.
In addition, considering the necessity of constantly monitoring and ensuring a
high cybersecurity level, the Strategy provides for the implementation of an audit of
informational technology infrastructures of national interest and the implementation
of international standards for informational security.
Moreover, the Strategy provides protection mechanisms f or the Republic of
Moldova’s special communication networks and for restricted-access information.
The communication systems, informational systems and data-transmission networks
are designed for the storage, processing and further transmission of importan t data
for the State, thus requiring a specific approach in terms of their protection and
development.
The increasing number of cryptographic protection means and the complexity
of cryptographic algorithms make it necessary to ensure control over the import,
certification and use of information protection means. Therefore, the Strategy
