The NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCDCOE) has published an updated report on national cyber security organization in Czechia. The report provides a comprehensive overview of the current cyber security landscape in Czechia and, in particular, reflects the legislative and structural changes that the country has undertaken since 2016 when the first edition of the report was published.
The updated Czech country report outlines the developments in division of cyber security roles and responsibilities between agencies in Czechia, describing their mandate, tasks, and competences as well as coordination between them. In particular, the report covers the policy and legal framework and strategic management; operational cyber security capabilities and cyber incident management organization; military cyber defence; and cyber aspects of crisis prevention and management. The report serves as an introduction to the broader digital ecosystem of the country and outlines the Czech cyber security strategy objectives that provide context for the organisational approach.
The CCDCOE report “National Cyber Security Organisation – Czechia” by Tomáš Minárik and Taťána Jančárková, researchers at the Centre´s Law Branch, is part of the National Cyber Security Governance Series published by the NATO CCDCOE. The aim of the series is to improve awareness of cyber security management in the varied national settings, support nations enhancing their own cyber security governance, encourage the spread of best practices, and contribute to the development of interagency and international cooperation.
