Organize and carry out evaluation attacks on national networks in order to measure their readiness. 5.11. Be fully prepared to carry out preemptive and reactive attacks on hostile networks and or systems. 6. CONCLUSION Jordan Government realizes the threats imposed by the revolutionary changes in Information Technology and the cyberspace environment. NIACSS is presented as a result of the government’s review of the current information security situation. Current approaches are basic, not systematic, subjective, have no clear definitions and boundaries, not thorough, do not follow international standards, and are not able to deal effectively with the threats especially those emerging from the cyberspace. Efforts in this field are not consolidated and risks are not addressed at the national level. NIACSS presents the strategic objectives, national information security priorities, and the implementation road map required to ensure and maintain a resilient and trusted computing environment that supports national security, enhances the economy, and builds awareness and trust of citizens towards achieving national prosperity. The following nine major national information security priorities collectively contribute to achieving the strategic objectives and help to prevent, deter, and protect national infrastructures against damage or attacks and minimize damage and recovery time from attacks that do occur: 1) Risk Management Program 2) National Computer Emergency Response Team (JOCERT).
