its national infrastructure and networks against the latest cyberthreats and
cybercriminals. This includes addressing cyberdefence at the highest strategic level
within the country’s defence-related organizations, further integrating cyberdefence
into operations and extending coverage to deployable networks. The following
efforts have been undertaken at the national level to strengthen information security
and promote international cooperation:
(a) A national cyberdefence strategy framework is currently under
development, while the national cybersecurity strategy that regulates the general
cybersecurity framework and defines the necessary actions for maintenance of the
minimum requirements of cybersecurity is becoming a law;
(b) Cyberdefence is already part of the national defence operation plans,
while the national emergency alert system has been incorporated into most policy
documents referring to information systems and has been integrated into all major
national exercises. Cybersecurity has been included in the operation plans for crisis
periods in all public organizations;
(c) Greece has developed and continuously improves incident/emergency
response capabilities under the Military Computer Incident Response Centre. Rapid
reaction teams can deploy at short notice to help respond to and recover from
cyberincidents in the military or public networks. Recovering instructions from
faults or cyberattacks, have been integrated into computer information security
policy documents;
(d) A cybersecurity operation centre for all national military defence
network systems is under construction, while at national level there are four
computer emergency response teams responsible for the public and private sectors.
Measures that could be taken by the international community, in order to
achieve a higher level of information security are as follows:
(a) Increased incident response capabilities, network monitoring capabilities
and actionable defence against cyberthreats through fully operational national
cybersecurity operation centres;
(b)
Full integration of cyberdefence into operations;
(c)
Development of national cybersecurity/cyberdefence strategies;
(d) Enhanced cyberawareness of the personnel employed in cyberdefence
and improvement of existing technical capabilities;
(e) Continuous training of the personnel employed in cyberdefence
organizations;
(f) Harmonization of the national laws with the global cybersecurity laws
and directives.
