DANISH CYBER AND INFORMATION SECURITY STRATEGY 2022-2024 The strategy focuses on government and critical infrastructure, as well as citizens and businesses. External cyber threats demand a joint effort if we are to protect Denmark from malicious cybercrime and cyber espionage. The Danish government has already agreed with a majority in Parliament to strengthen Denmark’s cyber defense by DKK 500 million through the implementation of the political agreement on the cyber reserve. Municipalities and regions are also continuously working to strengthen cyber and information security. The Danish National Strategy for Cyber and Information Security will further strengthen Denmark’s cyber and security with a number of new initiatives that will tie the overall effort together. With this strategy, the government is allocating a total of DKK 270 million to 34 new key initiatives that will equip us to keep the cyber threat at bay and help Denmark be digitally secure – also in the future. 5 The threat we face is constantly changing and requires public authorities, businesses, and citizens to continuously participate and take active responsibility. Cyber security is a continuous process. Hackers, criminals and cyber spies are constantly challenging our security with new and more advanced methods of attack. With the Danish National Strategy for Cyber and Information Security, we are taking an important step towards increased joint efforts and strengthening our defences against cyber threats, which today constitutes one of the greatest threats to Denmark and Danish society. /The Danish Government
