National cyber and information security research program identifies preferred research topics, whose stable support is crucial for achieving the goals of NCISA with regard to contemporary and future needs of the country in the field of cyber and information security.
National Plan
The main research topics are in the area of research of critical information infrastructure, systems of providers of fundamental services, protection of classified information in information and communication systems and development of cryptographic security tools.
Research and development of the agency is done in agreement with the requests and needs of the country according to the activities of the agency defined in act 181/2014 Sb. (act about cybersecurity and changes of related acts) and act 412/2005 Sb. (act about protection of classified information and about security competence).
