Awareness needs to extend across all stakeholder groups, spanning individuals, communities, the business sector, future generations and public administration with a view to protecting personal data, developing effective and innovative business solutions, and ensuring value-based learning and building up experiences, improving public services. The strategy is also aimed at establishing a secure cyberspace for children and future generations based on international best practices, including a Better Internet for Children. Measures include quality online content for young people, supporting awareness-raising and preparatory actions, preventing the harassment and exploitation of children, and establishing a secure online environment. For this purpose, Hungarian non-governmental organisations with a proven record in online child protection are regarded as key partners. 

The main measures are: 

• Making cybersecurity a topic in the information technology syllabus of primary, secondary and higher education.
• Integrating cybersecurity in training courses for government officials and in professional training courses.
• Ensuring strategic cooperation with university and scientific research centres that have achieved outstanding and internationally recognised results in cybersecurity research and development and helping to establish cybersecurity centres of excellence.

• ELTE – Eötvös Lorànd University Budapest, Computer Science, Specialisation Master’s Degree - Cyber Security. Year established: 2018. Student Intake: 40.

  European Credit Transfer System (ECTS): 120. One of the few courses with wide-ranging focus, spanning system security, network security, component security, SW security; Law, ethics, policy, privacy, cybercrime disciplines; organisational, risk management, business, compliance disciplines and Internships. 

• National University of Public Service – Cyber Security Master’s Degree. Year established: 2020. Student Intake: 120. European Credit Transfer System (ECTS): 120. Focus: System security, network security, component security, SW security; Law, ethics, policy, privacy, cybercrime disciplines; organisational, risk management, business, compliance disciplines. 

The strategy sets out measures for setting up forums ensuring the participation of representatives of business sector and academia in preparing governmental decision making, enabling the members of these fora to put forward recommendations or international security certification standards,

Partnserhsips should also ensure that the quality of education, training as well as research and development meets the requirements of international best practices, thus contributing to the establishment of a world-class national knowledge pool.

Improved cooperation and efficient information sharing are also needed to meet the objectives and cybersecurity interests. To this end, it is necessary to create operational cooperation forums ensuring the participation of representatives of business sector and academia in preparing governmental decision making, enabling the members of these fora to put forward recommendations or international security certification standards. 

The CYBERWISER.eu CyPR is all about boosting opportunities in the cybersecurity marketplace. 

This European Cybersecurity Professional Register is the place where professionals, juniors or seniors, age can promote their specific skill sets and experiences in cybersecurity, courses taken and qualifications.

Organisations of any size or sector from SMEs to large companies and public institutions can find and contact the right skills and experiences they need to improve their IT security posture.

The GovCERT.HU website: http://tech.cert-hungary.hu/ provides information about services, incident reporting and announcements, .e.g. http://tech.cert-hungary.hu/.

GovCERT-Hungary provides all the core services but needs to step up a gear in providing updates on the cyber threat landscape, on raising awareness and educational programmes. It should also strengthen links between local government, businesses and educational institutions to create more effective public-private partnerships as there do not seem to be any cybersecurity clusters that could support such partnerships.
