Brno, Apr 7 (BD) – With an index of 90.91, the Czech Republic was ranked first in the National Cyber Security Index (NCSI). NCSI’s ranking evaluates the preparation capacity of countries in case of cyber incidents and is updated regularly by experts in legislation and cyber security. It was created by the e-Governance Academy organization, which is a United Nations Development Programme, and an Estonian government initiative.
According to NCSI, Czechia’s strengths are the protection of personal data and different government entities working on cyber security.
Although, the digital development level is not so high – 10 points less than Estonia, France, Germany or Denmark – the Czech Republic has good cyber security capacities.
