A/77/92 The Centre for Cyber Security has also launched its own intensive Cyber Academy and broadly supports education and research within the field of cybersecurity. Likewise, the Agency for Digital Government developed several courses, learning materials and events on cybersecurity and information security aimed at chief executives, cyberspecialists and public employees. In addition, the Agency for Digital Government has developed the website www.sikkerdigital.dk, which offers concrete cybersecurity and information security guidance to citizens and runs national campaigns on secure digital behaviour in close cooperation with municipalities and regions. Denmark has established a public-private Cybersecurity Council (Cybersikkerhedsråd), which provides the Government with advice on how to strengthen cybersecurity and improve knowledge-sharing between authorities, business and researchers. Finally, with the Danish cyber and information security strategy for the period 2018–2021, Denmark also strengthened its international cyber engagement, allowing the country to step up its engagement in multinational cyberforums such as the United Nations, the European Union, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the Organization for Security and Coop eration in Europe (OSCE). In December 2021, the Government presented a new national cybersecurity and information security strategy for 2022–2024. The strategy builds on and expands the current efforts by further strengthening cybersecurity and informatio n security through 34 main initiatives aimed at the public and the private sectors, as well as Danish citizens in general. Overall, the strategy includes four main objectives: (a) First, the strategy further strengthens the resilience of the critical information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure that supports vital societal functions. To ensure an adequate level of cybersecurity for both government agencies and businesses, a series of strategic actions, including tightened security requirements for the management of government ICT systems critical to society and a strengthened police response to cybercrime, has been launched. The strategy also expands the number of critical sectors to include a wider range of government agencies with responsibility for information technology-supported vital societal functions. Government agencies within these critical sectors are required to comply with a number of specific security requirements in addition to the minimum requirements that were previously introduced in the 2018–2021 strategy. This is to ensure that ministries with a particular responsibility for vital societal functions are able to act quickly and efficiently in the event of a serious cyberincident; (b) Second, the strategy includes a number of initiatives that strengthen Danish citizens’ cybersecurity skills and increase management’s commitment to strengthening cybersecurity. Among the initiatives are new dedicated training programmes for government employees, as well as educational program mes that equip children, young people and adults with the competences necessary to be digitally literate. Furthermore, top managers and leaders face increased requirements and expectations to prioritize cybersecurity and information security; (c) Third, the strategy strengthens cooperation on cybersecurity and information security between the public and private sectors. The ability to share knowledge and experiences across sectors is vital to achieve a high level of cybersecurity and information security. For this reason, a cyberhotline, which will make it easy to seek advice in relation to cybercrime, as well as a dedicated cybersecurity unit for small and medium-sized enterprises, will be established in order to strengthen the capacity of the Centre for Cyber Security to provide guidance; 10/34 22-08761
