 Experts who will be dealing with information security - develop graduate, postgraduate and specialist study programmes in accordance with market needs. In order to achieve the goals of the Strategy, the following actions are required in the area of education, research, development and awareness raising: 1. Connect all educational institutions in order to systemise programmes and curricula, and avoid unnecessary paralleling or implementation of teaching programmes in information security of questionable quality. It is necessary to connect institutions such as the State School for Public Administration, Police Academy and Judicial Academy with the universities, especially the units with established and high-quality programmes in the area of information security, personal data protection, cybercrime, etc. 2. Raise the level of knowledge about information security in all the segments of the society with campaigns including public media. 3. Considering the insufficient education of pupils in the area of cyber security, except for their school IT, implement content related to cyber security awareness raising in other school subjects as interdisciplinary content. 4. Call pupils’ and parents’ attention to the threats in the information society in homeroom classes, PTA meetings, thematic lectures and other extracurricular activities. 5. Include cyber security topics in professional development programmes for teachers. 6. Include segment-specific cyber security topics in training programmes for civil servants. 7. Bind electronic service providers to provide information on the consequences of security risks and protection mechanisms for a particular product or service. Bind service providers to incorporate security measures and provide information on security-related issues and security implications for those services or products in a manner understandable to the user. 8. Define strategic research sectors in the area of information security (from the point of view of defensive and offensive technologies, methods, algorithms, devices, software and hardware). Encourage research teams and research projects in the area of information security according to the guidelines in areas of strategic interest for the Republic of Croatia in terms of research and practical application.
