–ProjectDescription
The ECESM project has been designed to enhance the overall cyber security posture of theMontenegro by accelerating the availability of educational and training resources designed toimprove the cyber behavior, skills, and knowledge of every segment of the population. The mainproject objective is to improve, develop and implement standards, guidelines and procedures atnational system levels in Montenegro in order to enable creation of agile and highly skilledMontenegrin forces capable of responding to a dynamic and rapidly developing array of e-threats.Developed standards will be adopted and assimilated to EU standards having in mind specificcharacteristicsofMontenegrinsocietybyexpandingexistinglegal,sublegal,technicalandeconomicalcapacitiesatthenationallevel.In order to provide solid base for the implementation of newly developed cyberspace, the ECESMprojectwillbuild thehighlyawareMontenegrinsociety throughestablishinga framework forcybereducation, which will encourage competence across the nation. Furthermore, the ECESM projectprovide:
• Extensiveworkshops,presentationsandpromotionsforcitizensandalllevelsofstaffinvolvedinbroadswathsoftheeconomyandindividualactors,representativesoforganizations,etc.inordertoincreasepublicawarenessofcybersecurityrisksandunderstandspecialtyareasofcybersecurityneeds;
• Specialized training for specific groups ofworkers, related to their range of responsibilitiesand jurisdictions, ranging from state and local governments, private sector, criticalinfrastructure owners/operators, large companies, small businesses, academic institutions,andotherinterestedparties;
• Accredited master program recognized and supported by relevant international academicsociety, for continuous future education of highly skilled professionals in specific areas ofcyber security, and (iv) encouraged environment for further research activities in cybersecurityarea.

ExternalEvaluationFindingsforTempusECESM
Generalfindings
Afterdetailed insight inoriginalprojectproposal it canbeconcluded that theprojectwascarefullyplaned and steps towards obtaining project objectives are duly defined. Also, after inspection ofLogicalFrameworkMatrix,itisobviousthatprojectteamiswellawareofpossibleobstaclesandrisks.
Theprojectthematicishighlyimportant,butcanbeconjectural,takingintoaccountthatcountryofimplementation is rathersmallwhichcanaffect thenumberofprospectivestudents,aswellas thenumber of quality experts in the field of cyber security. Nevertheless, the project team hasdemonstratedgoodawarenessontheseaspects,andtookthemintoaccountfromtheverybeginningof the project plan. The decision of project consortium to enhance cyber educational system ofMontenegroistobeappreciatedatalllevelsofeducationalsystemandstakeholders.
The three project boards (Project Management Board, Quality Management Board, NationalManagement Board) are well defined. It is shown that coordinating the project from outside ofpartner country was implemented on high level and obviously the coordinator and managementboardsweredevotedtotheprojectobjectives.
Developmentworkpackagesproducedresultsinvariousforms:reports,trainings,handbooks.Actualdelivery dates are not explicitly given in all documents, but according to the metadata, mostdeliverablesarealignedwiththeproposedtimeline.
In WP1 all deliverables are fully harmonized with the proposal. The meetings held in order ofcoordinatingofWP1activitiesshoweduptobefruitfulintermsofdispatchingtasks.
WP2wasmore practical oriented in terms of its deliverables. As result two versions of handbookwere produced and trainings were organized for wider audience primarily inME. Deliverables arealignedwithproposal.
PackageWP3isalignedwiththeproposedoutcomes.Thebasiccompetenceframeworkisdesigned.Trainings fororganizationsareplanned,preparedandconducted.Six trainingsessionswereheld inChamberofEconomy.Everytrainingisevaluatedandsurveysshownthattraineeswereverysatisfiedwithknowledgeandskillsacquired.

ThemainproposedoutputsexpectedoutoftheWP4areaccreditedstudyprogramsincybersecurity.The UDG had developed amaster study program in cyber security before the project started andadapted it afterwards, including the project results, while UNIM has adapted the already existingprogram "Master in IT" introducing cyber security elective subjects. UNIM is up to accredit a newprogramincybersecuritynextschoolyear.ThisoffsetfromoriginalproposalwasarrangedwiththeAgency
Thesufficientnumberofdisseminationactivities ishighlyevident.However, it isnotclearwhichofthese activities are targeted to the prospective students and if some of the activities involvedstudents aswell. Theonlinenewsletter “Cyber instructions for all”, andannual conference “CyberSecurityintheKnowledgeSociety”arestartedandimplementedaccordingtotheprojectplan.
It ispraiseworthythatvisibilityofTempusprogrammesupportfordevelopingcybersecuritymasterprogramishighlightedatbothuniversitywebsites,aswellasatthewebpagesforenrollmentofnewmasterstudents.
Theroleofnon-academicpartnersaswellasMinistrieshasbeenpromotedtilltheprojectend.Theirinvolvement is intensified indisseminationandsustainabilityactivities inorder tostrength thenewofferingof cyber security studyprograms. Their role is alsoevident inpromotingofCyber SecurityEducationCenteramongtheacademiccommunityandbusinessworld.
The two field monitoring visits took part in 2014 and 2015 with several recommendations andremarks. The consortium considered the remarks and took into account the suggestions to beimplemented till the project end. The feedbacks from the intermediate report were taken intoaccountinordertomaximisetheprojectbenefittoMontenegrinhighereducationsystem.

There is no clear evidence if there is any law or regulation adapted so it implements the projectresults.
OnemeetingwasarrangedfororganizingthisWPinMaribor.Accompanieddocumentationisputinthe"Meetings"sectionoftheprojectwebsite.
Cross-matching of practice is presented with a comprehensive introduction. Intersection linesbetweenEUandMEpracticeisshownwithshowcasingofvariousformsofeducationprovidedinthefield of cyber security. Classification of formal/informal learning given as the summary might berevisedandtermofnon-formallearningcouldbeintroduced.

As the security is a process, not a product, thestandardproposedthecycleasa"roundroadmap"forinformationsecuritysystemestablishmentandthisapproachisclearlyapplicableoncybersecuritytoo.
Reports are produced in both languages (EN, SR). The local language version is officially registeredwiththeNationallibrary.
DeliverableWP2:RaiseawarenessabouttheriskofonlineactivitiesThis package is devoted to research of current state of public cyber security awareness and to itsimprovement.Alldeliverablesarecompletedintimelyfashionandarealignedwiththeproposal.Thefirst report on awareness in ME is rather comprehensive and gathers information from differentsources.However,inseveralplacesthediagramsareomitted(justplaceholders,novisibleimage)andthereportwouldbenefitinqualityifthesewereproperlyset.
The security framework was given by considering various levels of education and is suppose toprovide foundation for forthcoming design of appropriate curricula and handbook. Although it is adraft,reportcouldbemorecomplete,i.e.the"Summary"sectionisleftempty.
The trainingactivity isnext step. It is set in formofdirect andonline courseswithdifferent targetgroups (instructors, teachers, students). A group of 10 instructors went through Cisco course ininformationsecurity (Introduction tocybersecurity)andgotcertificates.We find that this step isagreat contribution in moving towards industry standards and building teachers capacity forforthcomingtrainings.

There are two version of handbook: one in English and the other inMontenegrinlanguage.Itisstatedthatthehandbookisfor"naiveusers".However,wefindthatthefirstversion isratheradvancedandmoreappropriateforadvancedusersandprofessionals.Ontheotherhand, the secondversion is composed inmanner that is understandablebywideauditoriumandisfullofpracticalexamplesofsecuritymechanismsavailabletoeverydayusers.
DeliverableWP3: Develop andmaintain an unrivalled, globally competitive cybersecurityworkforce
WP3 activities are pointed towards improving regulations and gaining impact in organizations andindustry.FirststeptakenwascrossmatchingEUpracticewithMEcurrentstate.Reportsaremostlyalignedwithproposal.SimilartoWP1,standardsandpracticesdidnotremain incontextofEU,butspreadtoUS.AlthoughwemayencourageusingbestpracticefromoutEU,wewouldrecommendtoclearly distinct the analysis focus (EUpractice) from someotherpossibleuseful example.Althoughthecybersecurityisaglobalissue,duetonatureandscopeofprojectitispreferabletoputemphasisontheEUspecificpractice.
The security questionnaire is made in order to get information from companies. It is in rathercomprehensive andwe find it as a great survey tool.On the other hand, it is not clear howmanyorganizations responded andwhat the result looks like.We find that this feedbackwould of beenbeneficialfornextdeliverable-thecompetencyframework.
The cyber security competency framework is build upon industry standards and is supposed to beimplemented in organizations in form of trainings. Trainings are set for different target groups,basically:forICTprofessionalsandforothers.
Six training sessionswere held on various cyber security topics in Chamber of Economy. Lecturerswere experts from EU. Trainees were public sector staff (from ministry, university) and industryrepresentatives. Every coursewas evaluatedusing a survey and theoverall feedbackaboutqualitywasverygood(above4,5outoffive).
