Abstract: Managing the risks of national information systems is vital in order to ensure an indestructible information security. The risks associated with any type of cyberattack depend on three elements: the threats – who initiates the attack, the vulnerabilities – the sensitive areas on which the attack is focused and the impact – the effects of the attack. The management by the security departments of the risks generated by cyberattacks involves eliminating the threat source, approaching the vulnerabilities by strengthening ICT assets, reducing the impact by mitigating the damage and restoring the functions. The optimal level of risk mitigation depends on the sectors in which a public institution operates.
