STRATEGY FOR THE INFORMATION SOCIETY DEVELOPMENT 2020. to the improvement of cyber security measures, through active cooperation and proposing activities to CIRT in the establishment of the system of protection of computer and security incidents on the Internet, as well as assisting in identifying the timely response to possible threats to the information infrastructure.
