up-to-datedness of the contact details provided by the
obliged entities under the ACS, which are particularly
important for the NÚKIB with respect to the need
for immediate crisis communication in the case of
a cyber security incident. The metrics were the avail
ability of the contact details related to the specific
systems categorised as CII, IIS or OES. Any potential
unavailability or impossibility of timely communication
in a real situation could result in serious damage,
not only to the entity in question but in the worstcase scenario also to the whole Czech Republic. The
results of the exercise were evaluated very positively
as most of the contact details, and subsequently the
systems, were available. The exercise also verified
and confirmed that the subjects already intensively
communicate with the NÚKIB even when there is
no emergency.
IMPORTANT FINDINGS FROM EXERCISES
IN PREVIOUS YEARS:
To react to serious cyber incidents in a timely,
effective and adequate manner, organisations need
to have cybersecurity contingency plans prepared
in advance, and their employees need to know
the plans.
One of the biggest cyber security challenges
is the sharing of information between partners
(both domestic and foreign), without which it is
difficult to understand cyberattacks in a broader
context and uncover all an attacker’s activities,
their motivation and goals, and to subsequently
adopt appropriate measures.
AWARENESS-RAISING AND EDUCATION IN THE
CZECH REPUBLIC: THE ONLINE YEAR 2020
The year 2020 proved that continuous and quality
training in cyber security is more than important, and
it has to be given maximum space. The epidemiologi
cal circumstances forced many daily activities into the
online environment, and things such as home offices
and distance learning became part of our vocabulary.
This created not only many opportunities but also
many threats, for which various target user groups
had to be prepared.
The training of public administration users was per
formed via the online course Dávej kyber! [Get Cyber
Skilled!] organised by the NÚKIB, which presents
cyber security basics.
THE DÁVEJ KYBER! COURSE TOOK:

The awareness-raising and educational activities also
included the following projects for children in kinder
gartens to students at universities and university staff:
The expert online course Bezpečně v kyber [Stay Safe
in Cyberspace] was taken by 1‚690 prevention officers
within the scope of their professional training with a
prevention extension. The course was prepared by the
NÚKIB in cooperation with the Ministry of Education,
Youth, and Sports and Zvolsi.info, and introduces topics
in online security and situations that prevention officers
may encounter in the education environment.
In cooperation with the Union of Librarians and
Information Workers of the Czech Republic, the NÚKIB
managed to distribute the educational board game
Městečko kybernetov for kindergartens, which pre
sents the issue of cyberbullying and other topics to
children in a soft manner.
The audio stories Vanda a Eda v Onl@jn světě were

Festival and in cooperation with Rádio Junior and Czech

their first experience of the Internet.
The online interactive comic Digitální stopa: Příběh
Svůďáka was seen by 650 pupils. It was prepared by
the NÚKIB and mainly concentrates on cybergrooming
for pupils of the 4th and 5th grades of primary school.
The Cyber Security Competition for Secondary School
Students was held once again in the 2019/2020 school
