BETTER COORDINATION OF CYBER
SECURITY MANAGEMENT,
planning and preparedness
The overall state of national cyber security will improve through a development
programme and by promoting cooperation in planning and monitoring.
So far, the implementation programmes of the
2013 cyber security strategy have been based solely on proposals from actors committed to its development and the partly sectoral work of the competent authorities. Effective cyber security planning
requires that the necessary financial resources and
cooperation are taken into account with sufficient
precision in each administrative branch. This will
be improved by a cyber security development programme extending beyond government terms;
this will replace the earlier implementation programme. The programme will concretise national cyber security policies and clarify the overall picture of cyber security projects, research and development programmes.
ting up of this post does not change the cyber security related responsibilities and powers of the ministries and competent authorities. The Cyber Security Director also acts as an adviser to the central
government in cyber security related matters. Under his or her leadership, the overall picture and
development programme of cyber security will be
developed, drawing on the expertise of ministries,
the Security Committee and cyber security actors.
When drawing up the development programme, it
will be ensured that representatives of the cyber
security industry, cyber research institutes and key
organisations responsible for important public sector services participate in its preparation. The aim
of this network structure is to deepen cooperation
between the public administration and the business community.
The post of Cyber Security Director will be established at the Ministry of Transport and Communications to coordinate the national development of
cyber security.
The management of incidents affecting the cyber
environment and cooperation at the operational
level will be developed between cyber security actors. In the management of incidents, a general incident management model will be used and, where
necessary, the meeting of the heads of preparedness will be used.
The role of the Cyber Security Director is to ensure
the coordination of the development, planning and
preparedness of cyber security in society. The set-
Cyber security preparedness requires cooperation
among various actors in society, the central government and the business community sa well as
