Cyber Security Strategy 2021-2024
Ministry of Defence of Georgia
Strategic Goals
Goal 1: Human Capital Development (People)
Based on the analysis of cyber incidents in the Ministry of Defence, it is clear that the human
factor is one of the most vulnerable components in ensuring cyber security. On one hand
Inadequately qualified and insufficient technical staff and on the other hand untrained end
users are the mixed factor that significantly increases the vulnerability of critical information
infrastructure.
Goal 1 is a set of actions that, based on systemic approaches, ensure the development of human
capital.
Objective 1.1 Increasing human capacity through engagement in educational activities
For effective functioning of cyber security, personnel with relevant knowledge and skills are
critically important. This applies equally to computer security planners and implementers, as
well as end users of computer services.
Information security experts agree, that internet users are the most vulnerable in the field of
cyber security. Despite the availability of the latest technological tools, a large proportion of
the incidents are due to the human factor.
Given the scale and complexity of the defence system, great attention is paid to the appropriate
training of personnel. Therefore, to ensure adequate level of knowledge of internet users,
permanent awareness raising activities are critically important, which helps to minimize cyber
risks facing the system.
The Ministry of Defence believes, that in the changing cyber security environment, highly
qualified and knowledgeable cyber specialists are needed. Internationally qualified cyber
specialists based on relevant knowledge will plan and conduct various security-oriented tasks.
Objective 1.2 Strengthening technical skills of specialists in the field of cyber security by
participating in various types of cyber exercises and projects
Asymmetrical growth of cyber-attacks is in parallel with the rapid development of information
technology. In changing cyber environment, adversary is permanently changing tactics,
techniques and procedures (TTP) of cyber-attacks. Therefore, it is important that cyber
specialists regularly participate in a variety of activities, which aim to develop practical cyber
skills, as well as to introduce current best practices in the operating environment.
