Basic Guide ‘Recovery from a Cyber Incident’
The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has released a guide to help organisations recover from cyber incidents. The guide outlines four key steps to take. Read further to find out what they are.
2. Everyone Must Be Able to Trust in the Digital World
Everyone must be able to trust that public values such as security, privacy and non-discrimination are safeguarded in the digital world. This safeguarding is not yet a given. We see unsafe situations, such as phishing, botnets and cybercrime. We also see situations where the rights of vulnerable groups (e.g., children) are in jeopardy; an example is digital applications that entice people to stay online as long as possible or to make impulse purchases. We also see that technologies can be discriminatory.
To ensure that everyone can trust in the digital world, the Work Agenda focuses on:
Protecting public values
Protecting public values as the foundation of a responsible digital transition. These values should guide the development and use of digital applications.
Reducing the influence of disinformation
Reducing the influence of disinformation and strengthening public debate so that everyone can make choices based on reliable information.
Privacy and data protection
Privacy and data protection because proportionate and lawful data processing is an important prerequisite for trust in government.
The impact of new digital technologies
Increasing the understanding of the impact of new digital technologies so that citizens understand applications and can use them with confidence.
Improve cybersecurity
Cybersecurity to work toward a digitally secure and resilient society and government.
The implementation, compliance and monitoring of national and EU Regulations
The implementation of national and EU regulations by business and government, compliance and monitoring.
