Prague, March 15 (CTK) – The Czech military intelligence service (VZ) is seeking professional hackers for its new unit to defend computer networks as well as actively attack cyber-pirates, daily Lidove noviny (LN) writes yesterday.
It says the Czech Republic is preparing for “a cyber war.”
The VZ is therefore trying to attract young computer experts for its nascent National Centre of Cyber Forces, LN says.
“Such information is very sensitive in view of the character of the National Centre of Cyber Forces’ future activities, and it will not be released to the public,” Petr Medek, spokesman for the Defence Ministry, told LN, in reaction to its question about the centre’s work and the number of its employees.
However, LN sources say a few dozen experts are to work in the centre.
According to the valid National Strategy of Cyber Security, the new VZ unit will be fully operable in 2020. The Defence Ministry will annually release 500 million crowns for its work, LN writes.
“Cyber defence works actively against attackers. In the case of an attack, it is to find its source and take relevant technical steps to halt it,” Medek added.
“The Czech Republic must be able to avert a cyber attack by its own means,” NBU chief Dusan Navratil said. For the full article click here
