3. RESILIENT SOCIETY 4.0
The Czech Republic is a European leader in the dissemination and use of
modern technologies. As a result, Czech society is successfully transforming into an
information society. This established trend has also brought about both an increase
in the number of end users in Czech society
Digital Hygiene
and the risks to which those users are exposed.
A set of principles, procedures, and
Insufficient digital hygiene, media literacy, and
habits that allows users to securely
critical thinking are problems across society
move around cyberspace. This is a
associated with this growth. The country must
proactive approach by users to their
thus focus on the successful transformation of
digital footprint, security, etc.
Czech society into Society 4.0: a state where
cyber threats are minimized and all of society can leverage the benefits of modern
technologies and integrate them into their everyday lives. Cyber security must thus
remain an intrinsic part of people’s everyday lives.
3.1 Securing Digital Society and Public Administration
The Czech Republic has been striving to digitalize its public administration for
several years. Building a digital infrastructure for public administration must take
place with extreme emphasis on cyber security from the very beginning. The
operation and administration of this infrastructure must also be accompanied by a
high level of security. It is therefore necessary to reflect the current security situation,
regularly perform coordinated and continual risk analyses, and use the results to apply
the necessary measures.
The digital infrastructure will be built with the goal of assuring the mutual
compatibility of the technologies used in the individual public administration areas.
Here, the country will continue to support the use of unified information channels
that allow for secure data exchange.
Another key characteristic of digital infrastructure is resilience. The state must
guarantee the smooth operation of infrastructure under all conditions. Despite this
resiliency, it is necessary to create alternative methods of providing services in cases
where the state administration is not able to do so electronically.
3.2 Education and Awareness
Cyber threats, the spread of modern technologies, and their incorporation into
society have become intrinsic parts of every citizen’s life. The Czech Republic must
thus reflect this situation and include cyber security at all levels of the education
system and across all fields. It is necessary to emphasise security as a priority when
using any electronic device.
Implementing a high-quality and modern education system is necessary to
strengthen the country’s overall cyber security. Starting at the pre-school level,
education projects that aim to teach safe Internet habits and the use of digital
technologies will be promoted.
