Skr. 2016/17:213    improve coordination and communication between organisations, identify resource deficiencies, and identify opportunities for improvement at both the individual and organisational levels. The Government therefore considers it urgent for relevant authorities and other organisations to prioritise participation in cyber security training. MSB, in collaboration with other relevant authorities, maintains the capability for long-term planning and coordination of training activities in order to build expertise and guarantee a good capability to manage serious IT incidents in society. The Swedish Armed Forces maintains a corresponding capability within the scope of its responsibility. Cyber security training activities should encompass several types of training in order to achieve all the levels and competencies that are needed to manage serious IT incidents. These training activities include everything from seminars to crosssectoral collaboration. Access to a virtual training environment significantly increases the opportunities for carrying out technical cyber security training. Such an environment makes it possible to practise the management of simulated technical problems under conditions that reflect realistic technical infrastructures and systems. This allows participants to test their processes and technical capability for managing incidents and to develop collaboration with other stakeholders at the same time. The planning for training activities should be long-term so that each individual element contributes to increasing or maintaining capability. Systematic experience management becomes an important part of implementing training results in existing plans, working methods and other activities. Where necessary, the training activities should also take into account other threats and risks that might have a close link to the area of cyber security. One example of this is disinformation and influence campaigns. The training scenario in the area of cyber security, including disinformation and influence campaigns, can help to increase society’s overall capability to resist these threats, both in the Swedish Armed Forces’ defence planning and total defence planning. Today, a large part of national and authorityspecific technical training is carried out with the support of FOI’s technical platform CRATE (Cyber range and training environment). The Government will work to  maintain the capability to manage serious IT incidents through coordinated training activities. 2.6 Enhancing international cooperation Foreign and security policy Objective: International cooperation on cyber security is to be enhanced, as part of the objective of a global, accessible, open and robust internet characterised by freedom and respect for human rights. Cyber security – a part of foreign and security policy Digital transformation and globalisation have an accelerating importance for international relations in general. They create new opportunities, but also new areas of conflict, tensions and vulnerabilities. From having been a delimited and technical matter, focusing on system and operational reliability, cyber security has become an issue of fundamental relevance to peace, security and global development.
