Combating cyber threats as an element of the Visegrad Group’s cybersecurity policy

Summary/Abstract: The Visegrad Group countries are taking actions that confirmtheir ambitions in the framework of cyber security policy. The tasks formulated both in strategic documents and in international forums are evidenceof the active role of Central European governments in the area of cyber security. Many countries are facing a rising tide of cyberattacks, which are likelyto intensify over time. Any such incident has the potential to inflict significantdamage, undermining trust in government and causing unpredictable political consequences. For this reason, there is an apparent desire on the partof the V4 countries to build common cyber resilience based on close cooperation with the EU and NATO. Another way of describing the actions takenin the article is budget spending on cyber security, which is an importantmeasure for assessing the development of the cyber capabilities of individual countries. The article is an attempt to summarize the actions taken bythe V4 countries in the period 2013-2021 within the framework of cyber security policy, which for the most part remains in the sphere of mere politicaldeclarations. The research analysis undertaken can serve as a starting point forfurther consideration of V4 cooperation especially in the context of the military aggression of the Russian Federation after 24 February 2022. This eventmandates consideration of the future of cooperation between Central European countries – in the broadest sense – on security policy
