Greater engagement of the representatives from the public, private, academic and civil sector in the upcoming period will contribute to providing cyber security. Functioning of every individual in the modern era cannot be imagined without the use of information and communication technologies. Development of technologies stimulates the economic and social development of a state, ensuring its competiveness and positioning in the region and Europe.

In this manner, analyses will be conducted, and opinions and recommendations will be provided, in accordance with respective responsibilities of bodies, while annually a performance report will be delivered to the Government of Montenegro. When it comes to critical information structure of Montenegro, on the basis of the Cyber Security Strategy 2013-2017, amendments to the Law on Information Security (Official Gazette of MNE, No 40/16) were adopted, where critical information structure has been defined, and on the basis of that - eight critical sectors identified. The process of protecting CII is governed by the state of Montenegro, and this model of governance is one of the two management models in the European Union. National CIRT is a central point for coordination of activities, development of cooperation and other activities related to this field. In the period to come, the Government of Montenegro will continue to strengthen cyber defence of CII, by providing adequate resources and tools for understanding, analysing and responding to threats by national CIRT and other state authorities in charge of controlling the security of CII.
