RDR. -Deputy Prime Minister said, indicating that Russia and Wit -Russia stood behind most of them. But of course – remember what power we are dealing with – a question arises about a possible second bottom. It is impossible to escape from the fear that such data can be used for the story that the soil could build up for the attempt to realize the “Romanian version” in Poland!
Gawkowski has provided the information
Gawkowski announced that in 2024 CSirts of the national level, a total of 111 660 cyber security incidents registered. CSIRT NASK registered 103,449 cases (raised by 29 %vultures), CSIRT GOV – 3 991 (decrease with 15 %) and CSIRT MON – 4 220 (decrease with 28 %) – he added.
White -Russia and Russia are behind most incidents
– Said the Deputy Prime Minister. He pointed out that it is both about the attacks of hacker groups associated with these countries, the distribution of disinformation and “sabotage”, because according to him – this is what the incidents that take place in the critical infrastructure must be called up.
Gawkowski also reported that an increase in attacks on water and sewerage infrastructure has recently been registered.
We cannot reveal everything, we don’t want everything. Part of the report of the Government Splenipotentiary (for cyberbezpiazczień – Pap) was secret
He said, asked by journalists for the details of these incidents.
The Deputy Prime Minister pointed out that “increased activity of Russian hackers” was included in recent dishes.
You can see that this is an organized action
He said. He added that of the 18 of such attempts, 17 were held by the services and a total of 99 percent were held. to attack. That is why the Deputy Prime Minister assured himself that “Poland is safe”.
The minister pointed out that Poland “spends the most on cybatism in his history.”
If we connected two important roads, ie civil and military (…), the spending of Poland in the field of cyber protection PLN will reach 4 billion
He said. He added that he ‘believes’ that the CyberSecurity Certification Act will be hired by the government in April. He also expressed the hope that the amendment to the National Cyber Security System Act (on KSC) will soon be processed by the government and that the cyber security strategy of the Republic of Poland for 2025-2029 will soon be assumed.
Gawkowski said he wants to close 2025 “with a full plan, how to build a system that will not only work efficiently from the technical side, but also has strong legislative foundations.”
What does the project assume?
The draft law on the National Cyber Security Certification System was published in October last year at the Government Legislation Center (RCL). The purpose of the draft law is to organize a cyber security certification system in Poland. The minister responsible for automation will be – in accordance with the bill – he was the national authority for certification of cyber protection, ie supervised compliance with European and national provisions in this area.
The draft amendment to the National Cyber Security System Act will, among other things, the introduction of a high -risk supplier procedure. The current version of the KSC Act dates from 2018 and there are no provisions that the EU directive NIS 2 with regard to cyber security. The deadline for the implementation of NIS 2 to the National Legal Order increased on October 18, 2024. From February this year. The design change is continued in the European Affairs Committee.
The CyberSecurity strategy project of the Republic of Poland before 2025-2029 went to Inter-Ministerial Consultation in February this year. The scope of the strategy is specified in art. 69 of the KSC Act. It indicates that the strategy must include, among other things, goals and priorities in the field of cyber security, entities involved in the implementation of the strategy or the funds needed for its implementation.
The soil under the “Romanian variant”?
Nobody contradicts that cyber protection is so important today and you must be aware of the action of Russian hacker groups. But? It is impossible to escape the impression that the created story can be used so easily to try to launch a “Romanian variant” in Poland. However, we remember what happened to the “cyber attack” at the office of MPs and PO activists, so much blown by Donald Tusk. There are more and more disturbing signs.
These types of cyber attacks have taken place, we spoke about similar incidents during the rule of the United Right, but they will still happen because Russia uses these types of activities constantly. Something very disturbing, however, is a convenience – especially the Prime Minister of Tusk – to include this type of incident in the election campaign. Showing as proof of a new situation that Russia has already started working with destabilizing Polish elections. These conclusions were drawn too quickly. (…) We have a situation that is not allowed to generate panic or ignore. Entering this directly in the election campaign and demonstrating that this is proof that the election campaign takes place between Russian and Democratic candidates is a political Chutch. It is as dangerous as these Russian attacks
– Stanisław żaryn, the president’s adviser, former government recording for the safety of the Polish information space, said on television at the beginning of April.
