consequently, the possibility to bring
perpetrators to justice.
The study shows that Child Protection Units
and other professionals dealing with child
protection online need capacity development
and support in handling online child abuse.
Besides, there are no specific online child
abuse data that have been collected or
published.
2.4. Education, research, and training in
the field of cybersecurity
In developing countries, human resources
with adequate skills and qualifications in
cybersecurity have proven to be one of the
most difficult challenges as regards the
implementation of a national level CSIRT and
the improvement of the overall national
cybersecurity situation. Ensuring an adequate
level of education, research, and training on
online safety, and supporting the internal needs
of professionals regarding cybersecurity is
critical.
Several study programs in the field of
cybersecurity are offered by higher education
institutions, but they are in their first steps and
more effort is required to reach an adequate
level. Besides, no cybersecurity research
initiatives have been undertaken in Albania.
The knowledge gained by students in
universities is insufficient to meet labor market
requirements in this field. Furthermore, even
academic staff has its issues in covering the
entire range of this field.
As a result, developing appropriate
cybersecurity
curricula
and
enhancing
academic staff knowledge is an immediate
necessity to meet market demand.
On the other hand, human resources
capacity development through dedicated
training in the cybersecurity field in the public
administration and all other public sectors is
another necessity that public institutions should
consider.
Besides, a common approach is required for
the education of the government staff and the
public
regarding
safer
practices
on
cybersecurity awareness.
3. STRATEGY VISION
Year 2021 - Issue 7
Vision
Guaranteeing cybersecurity in the Republic
of Albania through the establishment and
operation
of
interactive
institutional
mechanisms, legal and technical instruments,
and critical cyberspace protection elements for
digital infrastructure, transactions, and
electronic communication; through the
development of professional capacities,
nationwide awareness, and strengthened
national and international cooperation for a
safer digital space.
Impact indicators and outcome
indicators
The National Cybersecurity Strategy will be
monitored by measuring core indicators
defined in the indicator Passport annex. The
core indicators, which will serve as a road map
for the Strategy implementation monitoring,
were developed to track the achievement of
specific objectives translated into a detailed
action plan.
The indicators were developed to be
understandable, measurable, and easily
compared over the monitoring periods. Two
core indicators were developed for each
specific objective, which can be simple or
complex depending on the sub-objectives they
are measuring.
