THE SCOPE OF CYBERSECURITY: A CYBER SECURE NETHERLANDS The Minister of Justice and Security is the coordinating Minister for cybersecurity and coordinates the implementation of the NCSA. Within the framework all parties have their own tasks and responsibilities. However, also in the digital domain a 100% security is not realistic. This broad Dutch approach to cybersecurity is implemented as part of protecting national security, which is coordinated by the NCTV. POLICY RESPONSIBILITIES IN THE DIGITAL DOMAIN The cybersecurity policy field focuses on preventing damage caused by disruption, failure and misuse of ICT. Various policy issues are related to this; responsibility for addressing them lies with other ministers. This concerns in particular the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations (BZK) because of the responsibility for digital government and the General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD), the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy (EZK) in connection with digitalisation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (BZ) because of the coordinating role in international peace and security and finally the Ministry of Defence (Def) in relation to the constitutional duties of the armed forces in the digital domain. The NCSA is closely related to the following strategic documents: The Digitalisation Strategy (Digitaliseringsstrategieunder development), the Broad Agenda for Digital Government Brede Agenda Digitale Overheidunder development), the Defence Memorandum (Defensienota) and the Integrated Foreign and Security Strategy (Geïntegreerde Buitenland- en Veiligheidsstrategie) and the International Cyber Strategy and Defence Strategy (Internationale Cyberstrategie en Defensie Cyberstrategieunder development). 10 | National Cyber Security Agenda A cyber secure Netherlands From National Cyber Security Strategy 2011 to National Cyber Security Agenda 2018 The NCSA builds further upon the effects that were realised with previous the National Cyber Security Strategies from 2011 and 2013. The vision from these strategies is still leading: ‘The Netherlands, together with her international partners, is committed to a secure and open cyber domain in which the opportunities offered to our society by digitalisation are fully exploited, threats are mitigated, and fundamental rights and values are protected.’ The agenda indicates a joint course which clarifies what government bodies and private parties can focus their (joint) activities on. The NCSA reviews various measures in conjunction, links them in guiding objectives and in doing so reinforces their impact.
