The National Cyber and Information Security Agency of the Czech Republic Co-Seals Publications on Cybersecurity of Edge Devices with the Australian Signals Directorate and International Partners

The National Cyber and Information Security Agency of the Czech Republic (NÚKIB) has joined an international initiative led by the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD), co-signing two key documents focused on improving the security of network edge devices: Mitigation Strategies for Edge Devices: Executive Guidance, and Mitigation Strategies for Edge Devices: Practitioner Guidance.

The initiative includes collaboration with international partners such as the United States’ Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and National Security Agency (NSA), the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS), the National Cyber Security Centre of New Zealand (NCSC-NZ), the United Kingdom’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC-UK), Japan’s National Center of Incident Readiness and Strategy for Cybersecurity (NISC) and Japan Computer Emergency Response Team (JPCERT), the Republic of Korea’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and National Intelligence Service (NIS), and the Netherlands' General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD) and Military Intelligence & Security Service (MIVD).

The documents summarize current findings on vulnerabilities in network edge devices, such as enterprise routers, firewalls, and VPN concentrators, and provide recommendations to mitigate these risks. Their goal is to enhance organizational resilience through a combination of strong security measures and international collaboration. Key recommendations in these publications include comprehensive management of network edge devices, procurement of securely designed technologies, regular updates, strong authentication protocols, and the securing of management interfaces.

“NÚKIB recognizes that vulnerabilities in network edge devices present a serious issue. Strengthening their security is not merely a choice but a necessity. The recommended principles align with long-term security standards that NÚKIB advocates for. By implementing robust measures, ensuring their timely deployment, and fostering international cooperation, we can effectively address these risks and enhance resilience across organizations and national borders,” said Lukáš Kintr, Director of NÚKIB.

These publications demonstrate the collective effort of global partners to strengthen cybersecurity and protect critical infrastructure from evolving cyber threats. Read the publications here.
