Institutional issues
For a state or a large organisation, cybersecurity is not just another technical topic. It determines the continuity of public services, the independence of decisions and the trust of citizens and partners.
Business continuity
When an information system stops, salaries, healthcare, flights or tax revenue stop with it.
- Identify vital services and their digital dependencies
- Set realistic recovery times approved by management
- Plan degraded modes to keep serving users
- Practise crisis management regularly
Digital sovereignty
A country that controls neither its data nor its critical infrastructure hands over part of its decisions.
- Know where sensitive state data is hosted
- Build national cyber-defence skills
- Give the country a suitable, enforced legal framework
- Reduce dependence on uncontrolled providers
Trust and reputation
A data leak or a defaced website makes headlines within hours; rebuilding trust takes years.
- Protect the personal data of citizens and customers
- Fight disinformation and impersonation of institutions
- Prepare crisis communication before the incident
- Report on your security policy transparently
Partnerships and cooperation
Cybercrime knows no borders: no institution can face it alone.
- Share threat information between institutions
- Cooperate with regional and continental partners
- Harmonise legal frameworks to ease judicial cooperation
- Bring together public sector, private sector and civil society
