Most countries rely on national CERTs and cybersecurity laws to protect their digital infrastructure. Bosnia and Herzegovina, however, has neither, leaving sensitive sectors exposed.
In this gap, the Cybersecurity Excellence Centre (CSEC) has stepped in as a community-driven initiative. By using open-source tools, academic ties, and public trust, it shows how resilience can be built from the ground up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bosnia and Herzegovina is still the only nation without a national CERT or cybersecurity law, leaving health, banking, and other digital services unprotected. To fill this gap, the Cybersecurity Excellence Centre (CSEC) emerged as a community-based initiative, rooted in academia and civil society, and free from political ties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite having fewer than ten staff, CSEC has introduced tools that significantly improve visibility of cyber threats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
CSEC currently reacts to incidents, but its ambition is predictive defense. By applying AI to detect anomalies, classify incidents, and forecast attacks, the team aims to prevent breaches before they occur. The lack of datasets, expertise, and ethical frameworks, however, remains a major challenge. <\/p>\n\n\n
