Europe with 95% of households having an internet 12 connection and 92% of the population being considered regular internet users Under both metrics the Netherlands ranks at the very top of the 28 countries of the European Union Both fixed and mobile broadband internet coverage have been universally available to the whole population 3 since 2005 and 2008 respectively The fixed broadband penetration rate exceeded 40% in 2012 with 84% of households and 96% of enterprises having a subscription Mobile broadband take-up is quickly catching up with penetration rates doubling between 2010 and 2012 it stood at over 60% of the population in 2012 33% of the population use mobile phones to access the internet A fixed broadband speed of at least 2 Mbps is practically universal 99% as of 2013 speeds of 10 Mbps and 30 Mbps are enjoyed by 69% and 42% of all subscribers respectively while 9% of subscribers have ultra-high speed internet access 100 Mbps The dominant access technologies are DSL and cable TV networks but 4 optical cable also holds a notable share Infrastructure-wise the Netherlands holds a remarkably strong position even considering the global context 5 A large portion of undersea optical cables to Europe run through the Netherlands The Amsterdam Internet Exchange which interconnects more than 600 communications networks and handles data traffic volumes of 6 up to 3 Tbit s is the world's largest The Netherlands is fourth in Europe and eighth globally among hosts for 7 co-location data centres In 2014 Google announced an investment of EUR600 million in the Netherlands for the 8 construction of a new data centre planned to be operational by 2017 Nearly 1% of the Netherlands' GDP is 9 invested to ICT infrastructure The Netherlands was among the first countries in Europe to launch e-government programmes introducing the first national ICT programme in 1994 and an action programme for electronic government Actieprogramma 10 Elektronische Overheid in

and vulnerabilities in the digital domain' as well as a need for adjusting current approaches with regard to the participation of various actors especially in 28 the international arena Out of that consideration in October 2013 the Dutch Minister of Security and Justice presented the Netherlands' current national cyber security strategy entitled 'National Cyber Security 29 Strategy 2 From Awareness to Capability' NCSS 2 The drafting process of NCSS 2 involved a number of stakeholders from the public and private sectors academia and wider society with the ICT community being 30 specifically consulted The vision statement of NCSS 2 highlights three aspects the security freedom and socioeconomic benefits of cyber security clear cyber security responsibilities of individuals businesses and government and cooperation with international partners specifically in the areas of defence diplomacy and development of CERT 31 cooperation and secure ICT products NCSS 2 sets five strategic cyber security goals 32 strengthening ICT systems' resilience to cyber attacks and protecting the nation's vital interests by the integrated actions of private and public both civil and military sector tackling cyber crime investing in secure ICT products and services that protect privacy international cooperation to promote building coalitions for freedom security and peace in the digital domain and advancing awareness skills and ICT and cyber security innovation These objectives rely upon ten common themes 1 2 3 4 5 Identifying critical ICT-dependent systems services and processes and establishing basic security requirements based on risk analyses Raising society's awareness about privacy and information security and resourcing the intelligence and security services to better address cyber espionage Determining the feasibility of a separate ICT network for public and private vital processes Enhancing civil-military cooperation with a specific focus on optimally sharing knowledge and expertise between the two Strengthening the National Cyber Security Centre by improving its capability for confidential information sharing and analysis Further organisational

collaboration with various partners ICT education at all academic levels in order to enlarge the pool of cyber security experts and enhance users' proficiency with cyber security 10 Encouraging cyber security innovation by linking innovation initiatives launching a cyber security innovation platform and continuing the National Cyber Security Research Agenda An annex to NCSS 2 sets out a concise action programme for 2014 to 2016 for achieving the five strategic goals as well as itemising specific measures to be taken mandating responsible entities primarily government 33 ministries but some items also fall to the private sector and establishing timelines A sectoral Defence Cyber Strategy was announced by the Minister of Defence in June 2012 Based on the recognition of cyberspace as the fifth domain for military operations the Defence Cyber Strategy considers the Dutch defence organisation's three core tasks - protecting territorial integrity promoting stability and rule of law and supporting civil authorities responsible for law enforcement disaster relief and humanitarian assistance - as specific trajectories of strategic direction for strengthening the resilience and capability of the 34 armed forces in the 'digital domain' The strategy is a further elaboration on defence-related aspects 35 addressed in the national cyber security strategy The strategy envisioning cyberspace as an arena of military operations treats 'digital assets as operational capabilities i e as weapons or as intelligence assets which must be incorporated in the operational capabilities of the armed forces as a whole' relevant to the protection of networks systems and information the deployment of offensive capabilities and intelligence gathering using digital technology For these purposes the strategy communicates the intent to bring 'all activities connected with military operations in cyberspace' under central control and coordination Furthermore the strategy recognises the role of the defence organisation in cooperating with other actors - civilian public and private national and international - to 36 defend against cyber threats affecting society as a whole Based on these overall objectives the Defence Cyber Strategy utilises a comprehensive approach designed on the basis of six focal points incorporating the elements of defence offense intelligence innovation and cooperation adopting a comprehensive approach strengthening the cyber defence of the Defence organisation defensive element developing the military capability to conduct cyber operations offensive element strengthening the intelligence position in cyberspace intelligence element strengthening the knowledge position and the innovative strength of the Defence organisation in cyberspace including

both nationally and internationally cooperation element 37 National cyber security roles and responsibilities in the Netherlands are divided among numerous actors including Dutch Government ministries and private sector players NCSS 2 identifies more than twenty bodies 38 with individual and collective responsibilities for reaching the cyber security objectives posed by the strategy On the government level these bodies include the Ministries of Security and Justice Interior and Kingdom 39 Relations Economic Affairs Defence Foreign Affairs and Research Education and Science Among governmental agencies tasks and responsibilities are defined for law enforcement and internal security entities the Police Service Public Prosecution Service Fiscal Intelligence and Investigation Service Security and Justice Inspectorate and Intelligence and Security Services as well as the Data Protection Agency sectoral regulatory authorities such as telecommunications and the Central Bank Regional and local authorities are also involved In the private sector the bulk of the responsibilities defined in NCSS 2 falls on the financial sector commercial banks the Dutch Banking Association NVB and the Electronic Commerce Platform Netherlands in particular and providers of vital services Certain responsibilities require the involvement of the business community in general Academia is also involved via the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research NWO and through government financing of independent research bodies such as the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research TNO The task of coordinating the various activities and ensuring a coherent implementation of NCSS 2 has been 40 assigned to the national Cyber Security Council set up in 2011 as a direct result of the 2011 NCSS One of the 2011 NCSS's particular action items envisaged setting up a Cyber Security Council 'Cyber Security Raad' as a body that would link the various parties responsible for the digital security of the country - the public and private sector as well as knowledge institutions - in a collaborative model thereby improving 41 cohesion in national policy initiatives public information and operational cooperation The Council became 42 operational on 30 June 2011 The Council's mandate as defined by NCSS 2011 is the coordination and supervision of the implementation of the strategy and involves four main threads advising the government and private parties on developments in cyber security setting national priorities in addressing threats to ICT assessing national R D needs and 43 knowledge sharing with public and private parties 37 ibid 6 CSAN n 27 27-33 39 In addition to generic references made to 'all ministries' and 'line ministries' being responsible for

english nctv nl Images cybersecurityassessmentnetherlands_tcm92-480116 pdf 38 10 In keeping with these expectations the Council has issued several advice statements since its installation inter 44 alia providing recommendations in the course of drafting NCSS 2 The Council functions as a mechanism for improving coordination of national research programmes primarily in the public sector but also as far as 45 possible between governmental programmes and those driven by the private sector or academia The Council also cooperates with both private and public organisations in developing dialogue enhancing cyber awareness 46 and strengthening cyber defence The Cyber Security Council was established by the Minister of Security and Justice and is co-chaired by representatives from the Government the National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism under the Ministry of Security and Justice and industry currently KPN a Dutch landline and mobile telecommunications 47 company The Council involves 15 strategic-level representatives from the government representing the National Coordinator for Counterterrorism the Ministry of Economic Affairs the Ministry of Defence the General Intelligence and Security Service the National Police Services Agency and the Board of Prosecutors 48 General as the cybercrime portfolio holder The industry sector is represented by KPN major ICT suppliers major IT users SMEs and critical infrastructure operators and academia by the Universities of Tilburg and 49 Delft and by Radboud University Nijmegen With these different perspectives and portfolios the composition of the Council also balances the various national interests and topics relevant to cyber security in addition to 50 51 the obvious public-private sector blend The Council is supported by its own secretariat in addition 52 responsible public bodies are tasked to assist it The Council may offer advice with regard to cyber security developments both on request and on its own 53 initiative In its advice the Council is supported by the regular comprehensive public-private risk assessments 54 drafted and presented by the National Cyber Security Centre Based on the operating practice of the Cyber Security Council so far the model is perceived to be a success The Council has assumed the role of a connector rather well and has been able to achieve consensus among the diverse and often competing interests of 55 different stakeholders Organisation Together with setting up the National Cyber Security Council NCSS 2011 proposed the creation of a National Cyber Security Centre NCSC which would bear the task to help improve 'understanding of developments threats and trends' as well as carry responsibilities in cyber incident handling and cyber

was integrated into the new organisation with 57 a strengthened and expanded mandate The NCSC became operational from 1 January 2012 and soon assumed a key role in the public-private cyber security network but due to growing expectations - triggered on the one hand by growing awareness and on the other by the volume and prominence of cyber incidents - NCSS 2 projected a strengthened role for the NCSC upgrading it to an expert authority with the task of advising both public and private entities both on 58 request and on its own initiative The NCSC is now viewed as a 'Security Operations Centre' providing awareness resilience detection alerting reporting and crisis management as well as advising both private 59 and public parties The NCSC serves the central government as well as public and private organisations 60 responsible for critical infrastructure and seeks to strengthen public-private partnerships Organisationally the NCSC is subordinated to the National Coordinator for Counterterrorism and Security 61 Nationaal Coordinator Terrorismebestrijding en Veiligheid NCTV of the Ministry of Security and Justice 62 thereby bringing cyber security under the umbrella of national security in the Netherlands It consists of a 63 director and three teams for incident response knowledge services and development and is situated within 64 the Directorate of Cyber Security of the Ministry of Security and Justice The Directorate also contains a Policy 65 Division responsible for the development of cyber security policies and strategies In order to ensure that the NCSC follows the priorities of both the public and private sectors a governance 66 board consisting of representatives of both sectors was to be set up in 2014 The board will act as a consulting body without official powers while responsibility for the annual programme of the NCSC remains with the Minister of Security and Justice In 2010 an ICT Response Board IRB was set up now a permanent organisational entity within the NCSC The IRB is a public-private partnership engaging telecommunications companies energy suppliers banks and government bodies It is activated in the event of major ICT disruptions and has the task to advise national 67 crisis management bodies on mitigation measures 68 The NCSC relies on collaboration with the public and private sectors including academia It

threats and security incidents as well as the response coordination centre Roundthe-clock incident response assistance is available to government bodies encompassing both technical such as malware analysis and organisational support incident response management media and crisis 75 communication When needed such assistance is also provided on-site The NCSC issues threat alerts and advice on software vulnerabilities computer virus outbreaks and specific 76 attacks Constant monitoring of both information sources and network traffic is employed by government 77 organisations to maintain up-to-date threat awareness on new computer viruses and software vulnerabilities For information sources specifically designed applications are used to monitor large numbers of information sources such as websites social media and notifications by trusted partners A network of sensors and honeypots are used for network traffic monitoring which allow NCSC to safely analyse internet-based threats 78 and their attack vectors across government systems Awareness and advice are supplied primarily to the central government and vital service organisations but it is also provided to citizens local governments and the business sector to promote awareness and support 79 prevention This occurs by the following means Knowledge sharing on cyber threats threat prevention and response techniques

preparedness the NCSC further provides training and conducts national cyber crisis exercises Cyber Security Assessment One of the starting tasks which NCSS 2011 instigated was the creation of a comprehensive catalogue of current ICT threats and risks updated annually and the identification of capacities needed to conduct threat 88 prevention and response in a more targeted manner The report built upon earlier periodic assessments on 89 trends in cybercrime and digital security which had been conducted since 2010 The report is intended to provide policy makers and increasingly the vital sectors with insight enabling decisions which strengthen the 90 nation's resilience to cyber threats and improve existing cyber security programmes The initial Cyber Security Assessment Netherlands

cyber capabilities an integral part of the overall military capability of the Armed 106 107 Forces Between 2011 and 2015 EUR50 million were allocated to implementing the cyber security strategy A military Task Force Cyber was set up in January 2012 to establish the capability to apply cyber in military 108 operations including offensive capacity The unit was tasked with defining a doctrine for operations in 109 cyberspace developing deployment scenarios and identifying effects and consequences of offensive assets Task Force Cyber was also intended to coordinate cyber operations cyber defence and cyber intelligence 110 within military operations in cyberspace The Section of Operations of the Task Force was engaged with the development of the Netherlands Defence Cyber Doctrine the development of a standard operating procedure for cyber incidents and the creation and development of cyber operational capacity In addition the Task Force was also responsible for arranging training and education in cyber and for providing learning 111 environments The Task Force Cyber completed its activity with the creation of the joint Defence Cyber Command in September 2014 The newly launched Cyber Command is the overarching lead for the comprehensive cyber approach in the Dutch Armed Forces taking over from the Cyber Task Force It incorporates cyber capabilities from all four Services

partnership with the General Intelligence and Security Service Algemene Inlichtingen en 121 122 Veiligheidsdienst GISS which focuses on domestic non-military threats to national security has recently been upgraded by bundling the signals intelligence SIGINT and cyber components of GISS and DISS into a new 123 Joint Sigint Cyber Unit JSCU in June 2014 Rather than an independent entity the JSCU is a support unit of 124 the DISS and GISS where both retain joint management and funding The JSCU has the purpose of improving intelligence capability by pooling cyber expertise and information of the

regard to crisis management occurs within the Netherlands Government Cabinet The National Safety and Security Strategy employs a three-phase security method 1 a government-wide allhazards risk assessment phase 2 a strategic planning phase consisting of capability analysis of existing and required resources and 3 a follow-up stage monitoring the measures and responsibilities for reinforcing 134 national safety and security The risk assessment process relies on the development of relevant risk scenarios which consider a certain incident's likelihood potential impact and particular resources and measures for 135 prevention and mitigation The findings of this process are meant to provide policy makers with insight into the potential risks and assist in specifying capability implications formulating policy and defining priorities for 136 disaster and threat preparedness In support of the implementation of the National Safety and Security method the Ministry of Security and Justice has published guidelines defined with the participation of a group of experts from government 137 research institutes and the business sector Findings of the assessment are periodically published in the National Risk Assessment report Since 2007 forty-seven scenarios linked to seven threat themes have been developed and scored for likelihood 138 and impact using this methodology The

Netherlands Ministry of Security 142 and Justice A Critical Infrastructure Strategic Consultative Body Strategisch Overleg Vitale Infrastructuur SOVI was established by the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations in 2006 It comprises members from the public and business sectors and has an initiating and monitoring role in critical infrastructure protection at strategic level including the mapping of vulnerabilities and inter-dependencies both risk and 143 crisis management Furthermore there is close cooperation among public bodies specifically emergency and intelligence services and private enterprise in critical infrastructure protection For example the National Coordinator for Counterterrorism and Security NCTV the GISS and the police all provide training on threat 144 identification Crisis and disaster management is directed by a disaster management team consisting of relevant public 145 bodies under the responsibility of the Ministry of Security and Justice The National Cyber Security Centre has an upgraded mandate in a cyber crisis that is in the event that cyber incidents have a disruptive effect on society whereupon NCSC becomes part of the national crisis structure Cyber crisis responses are not specifically differentiated from NCSC's regular tasking involving the gathering of cyber threat information as well as information exchange awareness and advice but the focus and resources of the NCSC will be 146 prioritised toward crisis management while other tasks will be scaled back to a functional minimum The 147 NCSC will then primarily bear an operational coordinating role In case of a cyber crisis the ICT Response Board see section 3 2 1 will be activated as needed and will take responsibility for 'conceptualisation interpretation and advice' advising the national crisis management 148 structures The advice can also be used by the private parties of the IRB and the capacities of the partners 149 150 involved in the IRB can also be used In practice the IRB was used during the DigiNotar incident The NCSC may also give advice in the event of an imminent crisis or in case of the detection of major 151 vulnerabilities 140 'National
