Summary

The Plan was released to “improve handling of cybersecurity incidents, prevent and reduce damage, protect the public interest and safeguard national security, public safety and social order”.
The plan divides cybersecurity incidents into six categories, including cyber attacks and information security incidents “. It also defines four-levels of security warnings and response systems according to threat conditions ranging from “general” to “extremely serious.”
Under the “extremely serious” condition, security incidents may “paralyse many important Internet and information systems and halt operations,” or “cause loss or falsification of state secrets and important sensitive information, posing great threats to national security and social stability”.
Serious incidents will trigger measures including establishment of emergency headquarters, 24-hour monitoring and multi-department coordination in handling the aftermath.
