4.4 Intelligence Society’s overbearing dependence on ICT has increased the risks associated with the activities of foreign intelligence services. Various state or non-state stakeholders may exploit cyberspace to achieve their objectives, particularly by carrying out cyber-intelligence operations, which my in certain segments jeopardize the political, security and economic interests of the Republic of Slovenia. 4.5 Changes of the security environment Malicious hacker intrusions into the information systems of state administration or state bodies also pose a security risk. Malicious activity against the cyber security of critical infrastructure represents a form of asymmetric warfare. Such activity is all the more dangerous in connection with increasingly organised international terrorist networks. 4.6 Intrusions of privacy In an information society, individuals' privacy increasingly comes under attack, as it must be aligned with interests regarding retrieval, processing and storage of personal data by different companies for commercial purposes, as well as by state authorities. It is expected that with the increasing terrorist threats and the implementation of measures to prevent them trends towards greater control and, consequently, the restriction of individuals' privacy in the cyberspace will also be on the increase. 5 Identification of stakeholders Public and private sector organisations participate in the cyber security system. Apart from the central coordination of the national cyber security assurance system and all the national response centres, an important role is played by the Electronic Communications Networks and Services Agency of the Republic of Slovenia (AKOS), telecom operators and telecommunication infrastructure administrators, information society service providers, academic and research community (some faculties and research organisations), occupational (chambers of commerce and industry) and professional associations (Slovenian associations and sections of international association in the area of information and communication technologies and cyber security), and software vendors that provide support to national authorities. In a broader sense, stakeholders in cyber security assurance in Slovenia also include relevant organisations abroad, especially when these are cooperating with Slovenian stakeholders in response to security incidents. In this respect, partners within the EU and NATO are particularly important. 6 The establishment of a comprehensive cyber security system and clear governance structure Successful high-level cyber security assurance requires the effective use of existing resources and appropriate multi-level organisation. Slovenia will set up central coordination of the national cyber security assurance system and provide conditions for its stable operation. This coordination body will 8 Cyber Security Strategy
