NATIONAL CYBER SECURITY STRATEGY GREEN PAPER 4 PROPOSED STRATEGY THE PROPOSED GOALS AND ACCOMPANYING MEASURES 4.1 THE PROPOSED GOALS Digital Malta, and in particular, Action 53, proposes four high level goals for a National Cyber Security Strategy, which are: �� Combat Cyber Crime: Law enforcement agencies are to identify gaps and strengthen their capability to investigate and combat cyber crime. • Strengthen National Cyber Defence: Public and private entities are to be guided and assisted in strengthening their cyber defence capabilities. • Secure Cyberspace: Higher levels of trust are to be instilled through awareness programmes and the delivery of trustworthy, ICT-enabled services that assure confidentiality, integrity, availability and privacy. • Build Capacity (Cyber Security Awareness and Education): The skills and educational frameworks required are to be identified and developed. All four goals are essential building blocks for the National Cyber Security Strategy. Additionally, through the analysis conducted - and which can be found on the Supporting document - two other goals are identified as essential for inclusion. They are: • Establish a governance framework to attain a National Cyber Security Strategy – given that at this stage, only the technical and operational structures are in formation. The strategic level that focuses on the long term trends and analysis of cyber security is also necessary. • National and International Cooperation – given that the borderless nature of cyber-related activity, essentially calls for particular regard to the global and regional aspect, apart from the national focus of related security. In this manner, a holistic and comprehensive outlook towards a cyber security for Malta can be presented. Furthermore, all six goals aim to cover two key strategic outcomes expected from the Strategy, namely: • Defending and protecting the national information infrastructure from cyber threats • Ensuring the security, safety and protection of users of cyber space. 4.2 THE PROPOSED MEASURES A set of measures to each corresponding goal are proposed below. Apart from the analysis, they are also based upon: • Best practices noted in cyber security strategies within the European Union and worldwide, 14 MALTA | NATIONAL CYBER SECURITY STRATEGY GREEN PAPER
