NATIONAL CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION PROGRAMME

Government Centre for Security (RCB) is responsible for the preparation of the National Critical Infrastructure Protection Programme in close collaboration with the ministers and heads of central offices competent in matters of national security as well as responsible for the following systems: a) Energy, fuel and energy resources supply systems, b) Communication systems, c)

Tele-information network systems, d) Financial systems, e) Food supply systems, f)Water supply systems, g) Health protection systems, h) Transportation systems, i) Rescue systems, j) Systems ensuring the continuity of public administration activities, k) Systems of production, storing and use of chemical and radioactive substances, including pipelines for dangerous substances;

NATIONAL CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION PROGRAMME

The Programme shall specify among others:

• national priorities, objectives, requirements and standards, to ensure the smooth functioning of critical infrastructure;

• detailed criteria which enable to identify objects, installations, facilities and services included in the critical infrastructure systems, taking account of their importance for the functioning of the state and satisfying the needs of the citizens In short critical infrastructure shall be understood as both real and cybernetic systems (including objects, facilities or installations) necessary for minimal operation of the economy and the state. The legal basis is: the Act of 26 April 2007 on crisis management,

Every second year the Programme is a subject of an evaluation NATIONAL CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION PROGRAMME CIP public-private Forum The Forum’s objective : – creating a platform conducive to exchange the views as well as work on sensitive issues related to critical infrastructure protection; – reporting and developing of new legal solutions for critical infrastructure protection; – exchange of views and comments of stakeholders at an early stage of legislative work in the field of critical infrastructure; – organization of workshops,

seminars and conferences devoted to critical infrastructure protection; – creating a database of experts on issues related to the subject of critical infrastructure in the various systems – financial, communication, tele-information network systems, energy, fuel and energy resources supply system. A mechanism to protect critical infrastructure will be established within the framework of the Forum: • Information sharing about threats

Coordination of actions in case of emergency

• Participation in the exercises on critical infrastructure protection. Cooperation with private sector Cyberspace Protection Policy Established in June 2013 by Ministry of Public Administration and Digitisation (MAC) and Internal Security Agency (ABW) Since 2009 there were works on cyberspace protection programmes but two preceding documents did not received enoungh formal status Cyberspace Protection Policy Objectives Cyberspace Protection Policy Minister for digitisation on behalf of Council of Ministers is responsible for implementation of the Policy Supervising body: Council of MInisters To help realise this mission – a special team (interdepartment task force) is established (Task Force for Cybersecurity Protection) Main action lines defined in the document:

• Risk assesment

• Security of e-government infrastructure

• Legislation • Organisational and procedural security (e.g. the role of security officers) • Developing technical and response capabilities (eg. CERTs, EWS)

• Cooperation • Research programmes Responsibility and main action lines Task Force for Cybersecurity Protection Main tasks:

• Preparation of the action plan according to Policy provisions

• Recommendation of standards and good practices for institutions

• Creation of forum of information sharing between public and private sector

• Coordination of implemenbtation of the Policy

• Coordination of harmonisation with EU strategies and regulations Action plan Main lines of action: Risk assesment Each governemt administration institution shall submit to MAC report summarizing the results of the risk assesment ( in accordance with the model developed by MAC) Annual report contains information on types of risks, threats and vulnerabilities diagnosed by individual participating institutions MAC determine the uniform methodology for performing risk analyses Governmental CERT is providing information about general threats, possible risks in cyberspace and also incident response Two editions of risk assesment reports were performed for 2013 and for 2014 Risk assesment outcome is constituting the basis (during preparation stage) for developing the key indicators of proper implementation of the Policy every institution is advised to suggest indicators of objectives which would be then aggregated and global indicators will be developed BOTTOM-UP approach Inventory of key systems, threats and risks

• Each year MAC is preparing a report, aggregating data from public institutions (first report for 2013, second edition currently under preparation)

• Consists of: Identification of key information systems

• Catalogue of threats identified • Risk analysis output (register)

• Set of recommendations for risk mitigation

• MAC performs revision (if necessary) of the methodology guidelines for the consecutive year Annual report Cyberspace security officers (PCS) Cyberspace security officers (PCS) During risk analysis process organisations are sending reports to MAC once a year – including contact data for cyberspace security officers (named: plenipotentiaries – PCS ) There are several trainings, seminars and workshops organised every year for PCS by MAC. Apart of this contact data for new PCSs are provided by e-mail to the ministry ( database is maintained to be up-to-date) Curently near 130 PCS are estabished and registered in the database Cybersecurity Doctrine of the Republic of Poland Published by National Security Bureau (BBN) – office of the President of Poland – in 2015 Higher level document: National Security Stategy of RP Doctrine is describing not only aspect of cybersecurity and but also the need for cyberdefence capabilities National Security Council Cybersecurity Doctrine of the Republic of Poland

• The National Security Bureau (BBN) published the Polish cybersecurity doctrine in 2015, after more than a year of studies and drafting. The document outlines further lines of work on improving national security in cyberspace.

• The doctrine maps out tasks for state institutions, notably security agencies and armed forces, private sector and NGOs.

• The threats coming from cyberspace and identified in the doctrine include cybercrime, like “cyberviolence, destructive cyberprotests and cyberdemonstrations,” attacks against telecommunications systems important for national security, data and ID theft, and hijacking of private computers.

• External threats listed by the doctrine are cybercrises and cyberconflicts, cyberwar included, as well as cyberespionage involving states and other entities. “Threats (for Poland) coming from cyberspace include extremist, terrorist and international criminal organizations whose attacks in cyberspace can have ideological, political, religious, business or criminal motivations,” the document points out.

• It emphasizes the need for “pursuing active cyberdefence, including offensive actions in cyberspace, and maintaining readiness for cyberwar,” protection and defence of Polish teleinformation systems and accumulated data, and supporting key private firms in their cybersecurity efforts. Current and Future work

• Ministry of Digitisation is launching preparation work for development of the optimal cybersecurity governance model in Poland

• considering country specific conditions and current landscape,

• to be prepared for future NIS directive • NASK institute is actively involved in this proces

• We are interested in any life experience of cybersecurity governance models in other countries
