CYBERSECURITY STRATEGY OF THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND
CYBERSECURITY STRATEGY OF THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND
Marek Zagórski
Minister of Digital Affairs
Ladies and gentlemen,
Hereby I present to you a Cybersecurity Strategy of the Republic
of Poland for 2019-2024. It is a result of analysis of current and
future challenges and threats to the increasingly vigorous digital
transformation of the Polish economy and public administration.
The strategy defines the areas of activities supporting the implementation of the main objective, which is to increase the level
of resilience to cyber threats and to strengthen data protection
through the development of the National Cybersecurity System,
which consists of professional staff, threat-conscious users, safe
and effective processes along with modern and security-checked
information technologies.
The adoption of the Act on the national cybersecurity system in
2018 created the legal and organisational basis for building, for
the first time in history, a comprehensive cybersecurity system
in Poland. This system will be continuously developed, as clearly
indicated in one of the specific objectives set out in the Strategy.
Moreover, the priorities of the Polish government in the area of
information security were indicated. These include raising public
awareness on cyber threats, supporting initiatives aimed at creating innovative solutions and tools, strengthening cooperation
with the private sector and developing digital services using new
generations of mobile networks and large-scale data collection
and analysis systems.
A high level of cybersecurity can be achieved through the wide
application of best practices, implementation of new legislative
and organisational solutions, as well as through international
operational cooperation and information sharing.
The strategy is also a starting point for the development of a
detailed Action Plan, which will include specific projects with key
performance indicators and identification of financing sources.
The Act, the Strategy and the future Action Plan are a set of tools
for public administration. The tools that have one common goal
- to ensure safe, undisturbed access to the opportunities resulting from the digital transformation, serving the rapid development of the economy and raising citizens’ living standards.
