Today, the Cabinet of Ministers approved the establishment of the National Agency for Cyber Security. The institution will be tasked with implementing state policies in the field of cybersecurity to ensure a high level of security for the networks and information systems of service providers.
Additionally, within the Agency, a national-level cyber incident response team will be formed, and a national contact point will be established to facilitate interaction between national authorities and public institutions with similar authorities in other states. The institution will be responsible for protecting critical information infrastructure, identifying and documenting service providers, implementing a mandatory mechanism for reporting cyber incidents, as well as overseeing and state-controlling service providers’ compliance with the regulatory framework in the field of cybersecurity.
With the establishment of the Agency, strategies and policies can be implemented to strengthen national security and contribute to increasing citizens’ awareness and education in the field of cybersecurity.
