10.2 The Way Forward
The implementation of the Strategy is expected
to involve multiple stakeholders within the public
and the private sector as well as cooperation and
coordination with civil society. It is expected to be
evaluated on a periodic basis, based upon the
progress registered from such implementation, along
with related directional developments on a national
and European Union front. The evaluation is expected
to lead to maintenance and updates of the Strategy,
leading to a subsequent new version, reflecting the
maturity undertaken in cyber security on a national
scale since its initial launch.
The launch of the National Cyber Security Strategy is
not an end in itself. It is the beginning of a continuum,
starting with implementation that is in line with:
• Increased awareness and recognition on a
national scale of the importance to tackle cyber
security in a comprehensive and systemic
manner
• Related ICT, legislative, regulatory, social and
economic updates on a national scenario
• Rapid developments within the cyber threat
landcape.
