Comparative Analysis of Strategic Cyber Security Focus area – United Kingdom, Estonia, Romania

Abstract

Given the fact that cyber-security has a significant impact on many socio-economic sectors and it is dependent on the national context, it is important to analyse the strategic perspective at a national level. Still, by considering that cyber-security strategic topics are being more and more addressed in an international context, it is also relevant to tailor any cyber-security strategy analysis to well-recognized international documents. In this article, we aim to analyse the strategic areas of cyber-security, as they are defined by the International Telecommunication Union, in the manner that those are reflected in the national cyber-security strategies of the United Kingdom, Estonia and Romania. We will highlight some of the common and different elements found in those strategies and will focus more on the Romanian strategy, by making tailored recommendations for each strategic area, based on the International Telecommunication Union Guide.
