Cyber Defence
As our daily lives become increasingly dependent on information and communication technologies, we become more and more exposed to risks connected to its utilization. Attacks of the state and non-state actors aimed at these technologies became the integral part of conducting operations and cyberspace has been declared by the NATO as a new domain of warfare, placing it alongside the land, air, sea, and space. Based on the national strategic documents, NATO and EU programs, cybersecurity became one of the highest priority. Cyberspace is characteristic by the interconnectivity, no borders, and diminishing distance between threats and potential victims. Conventional approach to protection of isolated systems is insufficient and there is a need to complex cyberspace protection and defence. With the changing threat landscape new important tasks for the governments are also arising.
National documents involving tasks aimed at providing adequate protection and defend of Slovak cyberspace are:
- Cyber Security Concept of the Slovak Republic for years 2015-2020
- Action Plan of Implementation of Cyber Security Concept of the Slovak Republic for years 2015-2020
- White Paper on Defence of the Slovak Republic (16 MB)
