Critical Infrastructure Protection (1) Critical Information Infrastructure Protection is covered by different strategies and laws. Development Strategy for Information Society: It is necessary to develop and improve protection from assaults that arise from the use of information technologies on critical infrastructure systems, in addition to the ICT systems themselves, it could be also the other infrastructure systems that are managed by relying on ICTs, such as the electrical and energetic system The National Security Strategy: identifies risks from cyber crime emphasizes importance of building ICT security system through a system of national security emphasizes capacity building, education, timely collection and sharing of data and information, coordination of security services and strengthen their organizational, human and material resources
Critical Infrastructure Protection (2) Law on Defense: defines that large technical systems in telecommunications and information technology are required to comply with the defense requirements of the country The Decision on the determination of large technical systems important for defense: defines large telecommunication systems important for defense purpose Liaison officer in European Defense Agency and programs regarding Cyber security and Critical information infrastructure protection
Scientific, Research & Development Work Development Strategy for Information Society in the Republic of Serbia by 2020: The dynamic changes linked to the challenges in the area of information safety, which leads to the necessity to constantly introduce new protection methods and measures in this area The necessity to follow the latest achievements in the area of information safety internationally, through the international cooperation Cryptographic techniques are the basis for establishing information safety and the weaknesses of these techniques are directly violating the information safety mechanisms. The safety levels of cryptographic techniques is, as a rule, wearing off with the passage of time due to the constant progress made in the methods for compromising practically all the cryptographic techniques. This is why it is important to constantly maintain research and development of new cryptographic techniques, as well as to constantly re-examine the existing ones.
International cooperation SEENSA workgroup On the second conference of Southeastern Europe National Security Authorities, it is established the cyber defense thematic workgroup SEENSA It is defined that the goal of workgroup is to form common concept of cyber defense and to product relevant documents with the instructions for regulating the cyber defense area Serbian NSA participated on the third conference about information security and cybernetic defense ISCD 2013 in Hungary
International cooperation Serbia is a member of ITU and IMPACT AMRES CERT team has been listed in TERENA Trusted Introducer Service since May 2011
