Publications of the Prime Minister’s Office 2024:13 their services help to build strong national resilience. Trust is required for successful national cybersecurity work, preparedness, shared situational awareness and timely responses. Preventing cybercrime Preventing cybercrime requires determined and active measures from all stakeholders in society, with the focus on early prevention and identifying threats. Services provided to the public must accordingly be planned, implemented and maintained in ways that minimise potential avenues of attack for cybercriminals. Users must have confidence in the security of services, and sufficient expertise to recognise bogus services and fraud. The development of artificial intelligence is making cybercrime more targeted and impactful, and it will accordingly become increasingly important to recognise the impacts of artificial intelligence and other disruptive technologies on cybersecurity, and to develop ways of responding to them. Cybercrime-related threats must be communicated in an intelligible way, with instructions and guidance provided on correct procedures. Prompt official reporting of offences that target individuals and businesses enables prevention of similar offences and more extensive damage. Cybercrime prevention must be supported through legislation to enable information sharing between public authorities, regional and local administration, wellbeing services counties and businesses. Preparedness based on long-term resourcing The action plans and financial plans of public administration, businesses and organisations include cybersecurity resourcing to meet needs specified in a comprehensive threat and risk assessment and in statutory obligations. Effective use of cybersecurity resourcing requires cybersecurity functions to be planned and implemented efficiently in comprehensive national and international cooperation between central and regional administration, wellbeing services counties and municipalities, and businesses and organisations. Shared strategic-level resources for managing cybersecurity in central government are allocated to the Office of the National Cybersecurity Director. Resource allocation to other public authorities discharging centralised cybersecurity functions depends on the duties assigned to those authorities. Centralisation 29
