Poland has achieved the top rank in the National Cyber Security Index (NCSI), surpassing countries like Australia and Estonia. The NCSI is a comprehensive tool that evaluates and compares countries' cyber security levels based on various indicators.

Poland was recognised for its effective cyber security policy, including dynamic responses to incidents and protecting its extensive critical infrastructure. Its commitment to preventing cyber threats and readiness to manage cyber incidents, cybercrime, and high-intensity crises is commendable and highly important.

The NCSI index evaluates countries' cyber security levels based on several factors. Poland received a perfect score in seven categories:

• Cybersecurity policy,
• Education and professional development,
• Cybersecurity of critical information infrastructure,
• Cyber threat analysis and awareness raising,
• Protection of personal data,
• Cyber incident response,
• And fight against cybercrime.

The Polish Army Cyber Defence Component Command (Polish: Dowództwo Komponentu Wojsk Obrony Cyberprzestrzeni, DKWOC) announced this significant achievement, emphasising cybersecurity professionals' hard work and professionalism.

"Poland ranked 1st in the National Cyber Security Index, which measures a country's level of cyber security, its readiness to prevent cyber threats and its readiness to manage cyber incidents, crime and large-scale crises," reads the post on X.

Karol Molenda, representing the DKWOC command, highlighted the importance of Poland's achievement, noting the determination and commitment of all cybersecurity personnel. He appreciated their qualities, which led to the highest results in cybersecurity.

"Poland has topped the National Cyber Security Index ranking! Once again, we prove that we are leaders in the field of cybersecurity. This is a huge accolade for all cybersecurity professionals and proof that hard work brings tangible results," Molenda wrote.
