Publications of the Prime Minister’s Office 2024:13 Developing a coordination model for cyber incidents and threat situations Operative authorities will formulate a jointly analysed situational awareness picture to support timely responses and countermeasures. This supports a common understanding of circumstances enabling the planning, preparation and deployment of measures. The coordination model for responses and countermeasures will be formulated within the agency-level cooperation structure described above in Pillar III. Shared situational awareness ensures coordinated measures for the in-house operations of each authority. National cybersecurity and the necessary information gathering, access to information and information exchange by authorities will focus on preventing and combatting serious cyber threats and cybercrime that targets the vital functions of society, national security, national defence and security of supply at all levels of government. Figure 2. Shared situational awareness as a basis for coordinated measures. Combatting organised and serious cybercrime Cybercrime will be combatted by detecting, preventing and investigating suspected offences, and by applying effective criminal intelligence based on management by information. The authorities will seek in particular to combat organised and serious cybercrime, to incapacitate the perpetrators, and to ensure that organised criminal groups or other operators posing a danger to society do not expand their operations into the structures of society, the economy or political decision-making. 38
