The Cyber Security Strategy for Montenegro
2018-2021 is a continuation of the previous strategy, whose life cycle ends at the end of 2017.
The starting point for the activities to be undertaken in order to define and implement the Cyber
Security Strategy for Montenegro 2013-2017
was, in the legislative sense - the Law on Information Security (Official Gazette of Montenegro,
No 014/10), and in the institutional sense - Directorate for Protection against Computer and
Security Incidents Online (CIRT), which operated
within the then Ministry of Information Society
and Telecommunications, and now belongs to
the newly established Ministry of Public Administration of the 41st Government of Montenegro,
with the task of enabling early detection of cyber
threats and incidents and adequately reacting
and responding to them.
The first Cyber Security Strategy for Montenegro was adopted in 2013 for the period until 2017
and contains seven key strategic objectives:
1. Defining institutional and organisational structure in the field of cyber security in the country;
2. Protection of critical information infrastructure
in Montenegro;
3. Strengthening capacities of state law enforcement authorities;
4. Incident response;
5. Defining the role of the Ministry of Defence
and the Armed Forces of Montenegro in cyberspace;
6. Partnership of public and private sectors;
7. Raising public awareness and online protection.
The implementation of the above strategic objectives was defined in more detail in two action
plans for the implementation of the Strategy.
The insight into the status of their implementation shows the intensive activity of the responsible
authorities in fulfilling the set strategic objectives,
which resulted in the successful implementation
of a part of the activities identified in the action
plans.
The chapter continues to describe in detail the
activities undertaken in order to deliver the main
strategic objectives of the Cyber Security Strategy for Montenegro 2013-2017, as well as the
activities not undertaken on a satisfactory level
which will be covered by the Cyber Security
Strategy for Montenegro 2018-2021.
