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).
