Bulgaria to establish National Cyber Security Authority

Bulgaria would establish National Cyber Security Authority (NCSA) to enhance cyber security, officials said Wednesday. The NCSA would set up the necessary regulatory framework and coordinate the country\'s efforts in improving cyber security, said Colonel Ivan Ivanov, secretary general of an interagency working group preparing for the establishment of the NCSA, on the sidelines of the first Southeast Europe regional conference on cyber security and cyber crime. The role of the National Computer Security Incidents Response Team, set up in 2008, would be strengthened next year, Parvan Russinov, deputy minister of Transport, Information Technology and Communications, told Xinhua. More experts would work around the clock in the team and rapid reaction teams would be set up to address cyber security problems in state organs.
