Cyberattacks Against National Strategic Institutions In the long term, the public sector, including strategic institutions of the state, is the most affected one, and it is almost certain (90-100%) that this will continue to be the case in the foreseeable future. In addition to the possibility of gaining valuable intelligence, attackers’ motivations may also be influenced by the geopolitical situation. For the Czech Republic, significant factors include primarily the Russian invasion to Ukraine and the Czech support for the invaded country together with its active membership in the EU/NATO. It also cannot be ruled out (25-50%) that selected institutions are being compromised over a long period of time, and that the attacker’s penetration was not identified due to the high sophistication of the attackers. 43
