Tiivistelmä
This thesis studies the emergence of Shared Situation Understanding within the context of National Cyber Security among a network of actors. Cyber Security is a key enabler of continuity and resilience for functioning of ICT infrastructure, upon which many societal functions are built. In the modern globally networked world, national cyber security is under threat from national actors, criminals, misuse and other issues.
Situation Awareness is today accepted as a key part of any cyber security operation, but how does Shared Situation Awareness emerge within the national cyber security context? This thesis looks at the Situation Awareness of different actors, how they produce Situation Understanding and how this information is then shared within the network. Main question for this thesis is: how does Shared Situation Understanding emerge from these networks? Empirical research was conducted via interviews of national cyber security actors, three of which represented the governmental actors and three the private sector. Their cyber security frameworks, Situation Awareness-function and Situation Understanding-processes were assessed.
The national cyber security networks have some information sharing operations functional, but there is limited information exchange. Sharing of SA-level information is somewhat effective, but there is limited sharing of SU-level information Especially between the pri-vate organizations information sharing is limited, most successful sharing is done via a cen-tral governmental node. There should be more emphasis on information sharing framework definition, ways of working and understanding of private organization incentives to join and work within such networks.
