The National Cybersecurity Strategy Guide 2021

The Guide to Developing a National Cybersecurity Strategy is one of the most comprehensive overviews of what constitute successful cybersecurity strategies. It is the result of a unique, collaborative, and equitable multi-stakeholder effort.

The objective of this effort is to support national leaders and policymakers in the development of defensive and proactive responses to cyber risks, in the form of a National Cybersecurity Strategy, and in thinking strategically about cybersecurity, cyber-preparedness, response and resilience, and building confidence and security in the use of ICTs.

The Guide was developed through an iterative approach, which sought to reach an agreement through consensus-building. It is based on existing resources and aims to facilitate its use by national stakeholders.

Cybersecurity is a foundational element underpinning the achievement of socio-economic objectives of modern economies. The second edition of the Guide to Developing a National Cybersecurity Strategy can continue to serve as a useful tool for all stakeholders involved in the development and implementation of this type of official document, including national policy makers, legislators, and regulators with cybersecurity responsibilities. In addition, it might have broader applicability, as the concepts introduced can be applied at the regional or municipal levels, as well as adapted for industry or used for academic research.
