What is the Cyber Security Council (CSR)?

The Cyber Security Council (CSR) is a national and independent advisory body to the Government, and is composed of senior representatives from public and private organisations and from science. The CSR is committed at the strategic level to improving cyber security in the Netherlands. The CSR seeks cooperation with similar councils in other countries and encourages their establishment in countries that do not yet have a Cyber Security Council. The CSR has the following duties: ● providing solicited and unsolicited advice to the government and private parties; ● advising on the implementation of the national cyber security strategy; ● making a contribution to the National Cyber Security Research Agenda; ● advising the crisis organisation in the Netherlands during large-scale cyber incidents. ● In addition, CSR members hold boardroom discussions to bring cyber security to the attention at a strategic level. It is not only a subject for the IT department; in the context of business continuity, cyber security also requires strategic management.
