The Netherlands DMARC & MTA-STS Adoption Report 2024
The Cybersecurity Assessment Netherlands (CSAN) 2024, prepared by the National Coordinator for Counterterrorism and Security (NCTV), provides important information on cybersecurity in the Netherlands.
One of the key findings is that the government is creating a centralized cybersecurity organization by merging existing agencies and preparing to implement the NIS2 (European Network and Information Security) Directive. To boost crisis preparedness for attacks such as the one from China on computer networks of the Ministry of Defense, the ISIDOOR IV exercise among other measures has also been conducted.
According to Pieter-Jaap Aalbersberg, National Coordinator for Counterterrorism and Security, one of the key findings of the CSAN is that “state actors are intensifying their cyber activities and broadening their capabilities.” He also adds that “The pace and complexity of state cyber campaigns is being stepped up. They are also deploying hacker groups to carry out digital attacks.”
