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: 18 209 214 2 000 public sector employees Czech Armed Forces personnel Bulovka Hospital staff 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 prepared under the auspices of the Secure Internet Festival and in cooperation with Rádio Junior and Czech Radio’s (Český rozhlas) channel for children; they pre­ pare pupils from the 1st grade of primary school for 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 year by the Czech branch of AFCEA. Nearly 4,500 stu­ dents participated in it, 1,500 of whom qualified for the second-round runoff. During the 2nd Secure Internet Festival, the NÚKIB distributed videos, games, and podcasts to schools via Measures 30
