the performance of military operations in Slovenia or abroad. The communication and information system of the defence system will represent the whole, together with the communication and information system of the Slovenian Armed Forces. The development of capabilities will be based on the preparation and provision of dynamic and flexible information and communication solutions, with an emphasis on the introduction of advanced computer technologies, integration and security, and simple and safe user access. The interconnection of information systems and various data security domains will enable easier dataflow and thus more effective decision-making, resulting in cost optimization and more economical functioning of the defence system. By effectively managing cyber threats and responding to cyber security events, a safe and reliable communication and information system will be provided, with its services readily available to all users regardless of location and time. The most important objectives will be constant raising of awareness with regard to the possibilities enabled by the effective use of information solutions, the active participation of users in improving information systems, and a high level of users’ awareness of cyber threats. Bearing in mind that cyberspace has no borders and that defence is our common responsibility, the cyber resilience of our own communication and information systems will be developed, thus providing our contribution to the comprehensive system of national cyber security of the Alliance, in cooperation with other state, public and private, national and international actors. The establishment of a responsive management system, policies and the organizational structure, the introduction of advanced technologies, the development of relevant skills, knowledge, qualifications and awareness, and the enhancement of cooperation between national and international actors will contribute to the development of capabilities for protecting communication and information systems in the field of defence, and responding to cyber threats. A system of comprehensive management of cyber threats will be established, which will include all actors from the Ministry of Defence. Cooperation with the competent national authority and other actors in the system of cyber security will be developed. Intensive and systematic training, education and exercises in the area of cyber security will contribute to raising awareness of cyber threats, acquiring knowledge, and developing trust both at the national level and within the Alliance. The fulfilment of international commitments made in the area of cyber security will be accelerated. A comprehensive range of functionalities to ensure cyber security, encompassing defence, prevention, assessment, sustainability, and notification, will be set up in accordance with the national policy, and the policies of NATO and the European Union. 34
