contribute to cyber security. The Czech Republic must therefore set up and support a cyber security policy that will consistently incorporate all of society into cyber security processes and thus increase its resilience to cyber threats. Finally, the Czech Republic will continue to update its laws to create understandable, effective, and rational regulations concerning cyber security in order to be able to effectively react to current security situations, trends, and discoveries from the relevant technical and social sciences. This process will take place through the implementation of EU law into national legislation and the interpretation of binding international legal standards, to which the Czech Republic will continue to contribute. 1.2 Secure Infrastructure The Czech Republic will continue to primarily focus on further increasing the resilience of its strategic information infrastructure. A culture of resilience will be created among all the bodies mandated through the Cyber Security Act on the basis of mutual trust and cooperation. They are the keystone of cyber and subsequently national security. Cyberattacks against the information and communication systems of these bodies and individuals could weaken and possibly have devastating results for the national economy, or limit the ability to provide for the population’s fundamental needs. The failure of one infrastructure component could lead to the failure of other parts, causing a domino effect. This is why their defence and security is of the highest priority for the country, and why it is necessary to continually increase infrastructure resiliency. Due to the extensive automation and The Internet of Things digitalization of industry, the cyber security of The name for a network of physical industrial management and SCADA systems has devices, such as cars, home a specific position in the Czech Republic as the appliances, etc., that are equipped Internet of Things expands. These specific with electronics, software, sensors, moving parts, and a network systems are often part of the state’s critical connection that allows them to infrastructure. The Czech Republic thus aims to connect to one another and maintain their continual analysis and the exchange data. monitoring of their security. In this respect, the country will continue to advocate the building of secure next-generation telecommunication networks, and thus continue the systematic and rigorous evaluation of the risks associated with creating and maintaining resilient infrastructure. Another trend that has taken root in the Czech Republic is the gradual shift towards cloud solutions in both the private and public sectors. This shift will also concern bodies mandated through the Cyber Security Act, and bring about not just new opportunities and expansion in functionality, but also increased demands on security. In this respect, the country must effectively react by establishing effective measures and overseeing their compliance. 11
