While the acts of authoritarian regimes fighting for


their political lives may seem extreme to many in the
Western world, what these episodes demonstrate is
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 962
1 that the very interconnectedness that people around
the globe enjoy because of improvements in ICT can be
swiftly denied, and that freedom of communication and
political freedom are clearly linked.

3 CONCLUSION
Addressing a nation’s cyber security needs is no easy
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 965
4
task.
Indeed, it is not even always apparent what those
needs exactly are, or what protecting (or not
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 966
5
protecting) a nation’s cyber environment actually
entails.
Quite often there are different and competing
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 967
6
considerations within each nation’s approach.
Yet each nation is faced with a steadily increasing level
of cyber threat, and thus requires the nation’s
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 968
7
leadership to recognise the strategic problem and set
forth goals and strategies to address it.
In this section we have defined NCS as ‘the focused
application of specific governmental levers (which
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 969

information assurance principles to public, private, and

As nations and intergovernmental organisations set
about developing and implementing measures to
establish NCS strategies, they must balance the

economic and social importance of free flow of
information to the security needs of government,
industry, and citizens.

21 Principal Findings
Essentially, national cyber security (NCS) can be split
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 983
22
into five distinct subject areas or mandates.
These ‘Five Mandates’ are Military Cyber, Counter
Cyber Crime, Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) &
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 984
23
Crisis Management, Intelligence/Counter-Intelligence,
and Cyber Diplomacy & Internet Governance.
These mandates can be mapped along all stages of a
cyber incident, as well as all four levels of government:
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 985
24
the political/policy, strategic, operational, and
tactical/technical levels.
Further, these Mandates connect with ‘cross-
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 986
25
mandates’:
Information Exchange & Data Protection, Coordination,
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 987
26
as well as Research & Development and Education.
While it is important to understand the uniqueness of
each of the five mandates, it is even more important to
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 988
27
understand their commonalities, and their need for
close coordination.
A wide range of organisations engage in international
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 989
28
cyber security activities.
The most relevant of these are often not state but non-
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 990
29
state groups.
A lack of understanding of the mandates can lead to
stovepiped app-roaches resulting in conflicting legal
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 991
30
requirements and friction bet-ween cyber security
functions, organisations and capabilities.
Assigning resources without a policy can be as
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 992
31 dangerous as drafting a policy without assigning the
resources.

35 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this section is to review specific types of
national cyber security (NCS) areas (also called
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 997
36
‘mandates’) and examine the organisational and
collaborative models associated with them.
Before discussing the wide variety of organisational
structures at the national and international levels, a
decomposition model will be presented that delineates
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 998
37
both common and specific cyber security functions,
capabilities, and responsibilities along three different
axes (Section 4.2).
On the one hand we will distinguish between five NCS
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 999
38
mandates.
This section expands Klimburg’s{1>351<1}
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 1000
39 segmentation and supplements it by three additional
cross-mandates.
Other axes are the cyber security incident response
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 1001
40
cycle and the various levels of decision-making.
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 1002
41 This decomposition model shall assist the reader in
understanding the rationale behind the functions,
responsibilities, and capabilities of organisations
involved in cyber security as entities which, over the
years, have been shaped by the specific division of
tasks between the government, its agencies, public
organisations, associations, and private companies.
Section 4.3 provides an overview of the stakeholders
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 1003
42
involved in the provision of cyber security.
Taking the decomposition model as the point of
departure, Section 4.4 strives to determine the main
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 1004
43
focus of analysis along the five mandates mentioned in
Section 1 and three cross-mandates.
Building upon this framework, Sections 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 1005
44 introduce the common set of national and international
organisations.
It is important to note that these sections also pay due
attention to the special tasks which may be recognised
by, and assigned to, various organisational subunits or
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 1006
45 organisations all belonging to one and the same
mandate, or to a single service organisation in one of
the mandates with the aim of supporting the other
mandates.
Finally, Section 4.8 will discuss some organisational
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 1007
46 pitfalls and lessons identified when addressing cyber
security at the national level.
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_

DELINEATING ORGANISATIONAL FUNCTIONS,
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 1009
48
CAPABILITIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
To position the many cyber security functions,
capabilities and responsibilities at the national and
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 1010
49
international levels, an analytical framework can be
useful for further discussion.
While there are certainly a number of methods that can
be employed, the approach applied here focuses on
three closely connected building blocks: the NCS
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 1011
50
mandates and cross-mandates; a generalised tool to
analyse organi-sational conduct at large, and the
incident management cycle.

53
Capabilities and Responsibilities<4}
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 1015
54 {6>110<6}
A first decomposition is to split the functions across the
five perspectives (called mandates) as described at
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 1016
55
more length elsewhere{1>352<1} and in Section
1.{2>353<2} These mandates include:
(1) Internet Governance and Cyber Diplomacy, (2)
Cyber Crisis Management and Critical Infrastructure
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 1017
56 Protection (CIP), (3) Military Cyber Operations, (4)
Intelligence/Counter-Intelligence, and (5) Counter
Cyber Crime.
This approach is supplemented by three additional
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 1018
57 cross-mandates that work across all the mandates
equally.
They include (1) Coordination, (2) Information
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 1019
58 Exchange and Data Protection, and (3) Research and
Education.

iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 1021
60 Across the Levels of Government
An obvious, second way of decomposition is a vertical
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 1022
61 one, perpendicular to each of the mandates and cross-
mandates.
Along four distinct levels of analysis, this approach
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 1023
62 combines both a military and a political understanding
of war.
The two probably most succinct (and opposing) notions
on the nature of war equally address the most
important relationship between the act of war and the
political sphere: either ‘[w]ar is a mere continuation of
policy’,{1>354<1} or ‘[p]olitics is the continuation of
war’.{2>355<2} It is long understood that it is necessary
to combine the military and the political perspective
into a more comprehensive approach of understanding
iZtTXRngob4wCLxm_
dc2: 1024
63
conflict, such as was done in the US military construct
of state-conflict.{3>356<3} By adding a ‘political’ or
‘policy’{4>357<4} level on top of the traditional war-
fighting triangle (which is composed of the
strategic,{5>358<5} operational{6>359<6} and
tactical{7>360<7} levels),{8>361<8} this model goes
beyond a purely military understanding of military
operations.
