Policy Paper on Cyber Security 2015 - 2017 Vision, principles and strategic objectives THIS DOCUMENT DEFINES THE FOLLOWING VISION: For a safer, more reliable and more sustainable cyber space for the citizens, business and the Government, in support of the economic and social development of Albania. The cyber space should be considered as a multidimentional area, with several layers and territories, beyond the national borders. The cyber security should be based on the following basic principles: - Protection of fundamental human rights, freedom of speech, personal data and privacy: Cyber security could be efficient only in case it is based on the fundamental human rights and freedoms, pursuant to the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and universal values of the EU. Reciprocally, the rights of individuals could not be ensured without having safe networks and systems in place. Every exchange of information, when it includes personal data, should be made in accordance with the EU legislation on Data Protection and the Law No. 9887, dated 10.03.2008, as amended “On Protection of Personal Data” and should also take into consideration the rights of individuals in this area. - Providing access to all citizens: Limited access and/or lack of access to Internet and the digital illiteracy constitute a disadvantage for citizens, taking into account that the digital world characterizes the activity within the society. Every human being should be able to access Internet and have an unlimited information flow. The integrity and security of Internet should be guaranteed in order to provide safe access to all. - Shared responsibility: Cyber security can not be regarded as a problem that impacts or belongs to one institution, public institutions, private sector or to citizens. It is a problem that impacts all the areas of life and society. As such, it asks for necessary security measures by all the users of ICT and the cyber space. 18
