Objective D.5 Develop capacities for efficient response to a threat that may result in cyber crisis. It is necessary to build a national system of cyber crisis management in Croatia as part of the national crisis management system, where the responsibilities of the relevant participants will be uniformly defined on the basis of the authorities’ existing competences and additional defining of the authorities’ roles in cases that constitute crises. The national cyber crisis management system has to ensure:  Systematic monitoring of the state of security of the national cyberspace for the purpose of detecting threats that may result in cyber crisis,  Periodic reporting on the state of cyber security,  Efficient planning of actions during cyber crisis,  Harmonised and coordinated action of state authorities during cyber crisis. To that end, it is necessary to thoroughly analyse the current situation, especially in relation to the legal framework and any improvements it may require in the context of possible introduction of new competences necessary in dealing with this issue. Based on the results of the analysis, the definition of the concept of cyber crisis in the framework of a broader concept of the national level crisis management will be proposed, along with the criteria for identifying a cyber crisis. 5.3 Cybercrime (E) Computer crime, or cybercrime, is crime that involves computer systems, programmes and data, committed in cyberspace by using communication and information technologies and poses a threat to achieving a safer information society. The establishment of effective prevention measures, but also the criminal law response to this type of crime, are the key elements for achieving the appropriate level of protected, unobstructed operation and security of computer systems. High-quality and successful countering of this form of crime requires: Objective E.1 Continued enhancement of national legislation, taking into account international obligations. As rapid technological growth brings along new modalities of committing criminal offences using computer systems and networks, followed also by the development of legislation in this domain at the international level, it is necessary to constantly monitor, analyse and, if needed, amend the national legislation in accordance with the emerging changes. Objective E.2 Improve and stimulate international cooperation for efficient information sharing.
