DANISH CYBER AND INFORMATION SECURITY STRATEGY 2022-2024
Danes are becoming increasingly
aware of cyber and information security3. However, there is a challenge in
translating awareness into knowledge,
skills, and action to boost cyber and
information security.
Cyber security requires top management commitment to make security a
more integral part of the management
function, and this requires the possession of the right skills.
However, SMEs, in particular, lack
the skills and resources to implement
appropriate security measures. Moreover, there is a cross-cutting challenge
in recruiting and retaining relevant
cyber and information security skills.
The demand for cyber and information
security skills is great, but both authorities and companies find it difficult to
obtain the right profiles for the tasks.
Thus, there is a need to strengthen
the supply of skills if security is to be
raised across the board.

Finally, there is a need for initiatives
to promote increased skills within the
Danish population.
Citizens must be able to act safely
in the digital daily life. This applies
to children and young people, as well
as adults, so that they avoid, to the
greatest possible extent, becoming
victims of cybercrime or digital fraud.
In order to ensure a high level of
cyber and information security across
society, the strategy launches several
initiatives with a focus on increasing
skills and providing a better foundation
for top management commitment.
Efforts targeting children, young
people and adults through education
will also be created, to make the
Danish population more digitally
literate.
The survey Information Security among
Danes 2020 has shown that knowledge
about cyber and information security is
not sufficiently widespread among the
population and among employees in both
government agencies and companies
