Lithuania takes the lead in NCSI
11 Oct 2016
National Cyber Security Index has a new leader – Lithuania! The current score of the best performing country in the NCSI has 60,15 points which is 5.5p more than Australia who is currently holding the second position. Lithuania is remarkably good at three categories: developing national policies, ensuring baseline cyber security and providing e-identity and e-signature. On those areas they have scored maximum possible points. There are also three other categories where Lithuania has fulfilled over 80% of the indicators. All together, from 12 capacity measuring categories, 8 got at least 50% or more from the possible points. Lithuanian information was provided to eGA by NRD CS, which is a cybersecurity technology consulting, incident response and applied research company. Two contact people from Lithuania were Dr. Vilius Benetis and Mrs. Akvilė Giniotienė filled out the data and inserted it accordingly to the methodology. Lithuania has done remarkably good job in the field of cyber security as they have implemented several policies especially in the recent years. Although the ratio between Information Society Development (ISD) score and NCSI score is negative by 6.26 points, the cyber security situation in Lithuania is still very good.
