2012
4. NATIONAL INFORMATION SECURITY
PRIORITIES
To achieve the National Strategic Objectives listed above (Section 3),
Government of Jordan organizes its NIACSS across nine major national
interdependent priorities, each priority demanding collaboration across
Government, and with international partners, the private sector, and the
citizenry. Taken as a whole, these priorities form the action lines of the
NIACSS Implementation Roadmap. The nine priorities (not sorted in order
of importance) are:
1) Risk Management Program
2) National Computer Emergency Response Team (JOCERT)
3) Security Awareness and Capacity Building Program
4) National Information Security Standards and Policies
5) Legal and Regulatory Regime
6) National Encryption System
7) International Information Security Cooperation Program
8) Securing National Information Systems/Networks
9) Critical National Infrastructure Protection (CNIP) Program
4.1.
Risk Management Program
A Nation-Wide Risk Management Program
will establish the needed framework for high
level impact risk management on the national
level. It will not address individual risks, for
government entities and private sector, with
little or no impact on the national level.
Government organizations and private sector
must address and manage their own risks.
They must develop their own risk
management programs or plans that are inline
with the Nation-Wide Risk Management
Program.
Government
organizations
and
private sector will
develop and maintain
risk
management
programs that are
inline
with
the
nation-wide
risk
management
program.
In cyberspace, risks can never be reduced to
zero and there is no 100% secure system.
