| dc.description.abstract | This report presents an analysis and overview of the different actors involved in ICT crisis management in Norway. It
particularly studies the responsibilities, roles and the measures available, and also gives an introduction to ICT crisis
management in Italy and France. The study is part of a comprehensive project, “Critical Information Infrastructure
Protection”, and has been conducted to provide background information for future recommendations and the ranking of
measures for reducing vulnerabilities.
The interviews and workshop, based on imagined crisis-scenarios, lead to the conclusion that an ICT crisis is often
treated as any other crisis. It proves especially challenging to define an “owner” of an ICT crisis, due to the difficulty in
allocating it in a specific sector. The operational crisis management is executed at the lowest possible level, as is also
the findings from other countries. The report identifies a general need for a more frequent use of exercises, in order to
better prepared for an ICT crisis. | en_GB |
