  title = {Structuring the national cyber defence: in evolution towards a Central Cyber Authority},
  abstract = {This paper describes the three-phase evolution process that most countries have already gone through in structuring their cybersecurity activities. We then analyse the limitations of the current phase and outline the necessity in the next phase of evolution of governmental structures – the formation of a national Central Cyber Authority (CCA), a single civilian entity with concrete operational capabilities, responsible for defending the national cyberspace and leading national cybersecurity efforts. We present the logic behind this next phase of evolution as well as basic principles and components comprising the new CCA and its relations with current governmental organisations – regulators, law enforcement agencies and the intelligence community.},

  note = {We presented the next phase of evolution that we see as the answer to the limitations discussed: the establishment of a national CCA, which serves as a single leading body for national cyber defence with concrete operational capabilities. The CCA shall focus its efforts in guiding current sectoral regulators in cyber aspects, shall serve as a hub of knowledge for cybersecurity, shall handle cyber incidents and promote national cyber resilience, and shall lead the defensive campaigns in cooperation with law enforcement agencies and the intelligence community.},
