  • Risk and crisis management 

The activities in this component are aimed at establishing and strengthening cyber risk and crisis management mechanisms. 

  • Operational capacities 

The activities in this component are aimed at increasing operational capacities of Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs) in cyber incident management.
