NCS --- You have to be careful not to mix up the elemts. The drafting of a National Cyber Strategy folllows the actual national policy of a state: cwentralized states have centralized approaches to cyber and federal states federal approaches. In a federal approach there is a clear division of responsibiliites and therefore the strategy must include: the political level, the technical level, the legal level and law enforcemnt. All these elements play together, The development of the internet has nothing to do with cyber. We have cyber attacks and a cyber space beacuse there is the internet and because we digitize everything. Withouht the internet we would not have cyber crime. So in oder to combat the problem, we need to have strong and resilient infrastructures (IT), strong and empowered law enforcement and the political will to fight cyber crime. Do not make the mistake to mix IT and cyber otherwise, you will never grasp the main challenges.
