OBJECTIVES key ICT systems in the event of major natural and other disasters; 8. Strengthening national cyber security through international cooperation MEASURES systems in the event of major natural and other disasters.  ensuring conditions for the participation of Slovenian experts in the relevant international working bodies and associations in the area of cyber security. Table 1: Cyber security strategy objectives and actions needed to achieve them 8.1 Strengthening and systemic regulation of the national cyber security assurance system Slovenia will strengthen and upgrade its existing cyber security assurance system, including its diplomatic and consular network. Due to the increasing volume of security incidents, the existing capabilities of the response centres are no longer sufficient. In order to ensure the proper response, the capabilities of the National Response Centre (SI-CERT and the response centre for the needs of the defence and protection against natural and other disaster (cyber capacities of the Ministry of Defence) will be strengthened, and an independent response centre for the public administration systems will be set up (SIGOV-CERT). The framework of strengthening the cyber security assurance system also included the preparation of a plan to respond to security incidents. At the strategic level of cyber security assurance system, a central coordination for comprehensive approach and coordination of activities in all areas of cyber security will be set up. One of the functions of this coordination will be to act as a single national point of contact for international cooperation in the area of cyber security. Also in the future, Slovenia will regularly participate in international exercises on cyber security. Besides that, it will also carry out exercises at the national level. The content of each exercise will possibly be consistent with the risk assessment of a specific treat, however, based on the most realistic scenario possible. At least occasionally, exercises will be carried out with the participation of all stakeholder engaged in cyber security assurance. Thus, all the mechanisms, the preparedness and the interaction of participants will be checked. Each exercise will be followed by a detailed analysis of the results and drafting proposals for any improvements and, if necessary, upgrading or updating the security incidents response plan. To achieve the objective of strengthening and systemic regulation of national cyber security assurance system, the following measures shall be implemented:  establishing a central coordination of the national cyber security assurance system;  human resource and technological strengthening of bodies at the operative level of cyber security assurance system along with the implementation of SIGOV-CERT;  regular participation in international exercises on cyber security and organisation of national exercises;  gradual upgrade of state bodies' HKOM networks with equipment that is appropriately approved by the Slovenian authorities as being safe and suitable for use; 12 Cyber Security Strategy
