Security of Montenegrin cyberspace is of major importance for the overall security
of the state and its citizens. 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. Therefore, Montenegro cannot and
must not be an exception.
Taking into consideration the previously said,
and the fact that a number of threats in cyberspace is constantly growing, simultaneously with
further development of information society, it is
necessary to constantly work on improving cyber security.
The Government of Montenegro is devoted to
growth and prosperity through strong cyber security.
In the past period, on the basis of Art. 13a of the
Law on Information Security (Official Gazette of
MNE, No 14/10 and 40/16), the Government of
Montenegro adopted the Decision on forming
the Council on Information Security. The Council
will, inter alia, monitor the implementation of the
Cyber Security Strategy, by delivering quarterly
reports submitted by the bodies identified as the
main holders of activities defined by the Strategy
the accompanying action plans. 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.
This Strategy identifies a total of eight objectives
for improving the National Cyber Strategy for
Montenegro 2018-2021, namely:
1. reliance on European and Euro-Atlantic concepts,
2. strengthening the cyber defence capacities,
3. centralisation of cyber expertise and resources,
