As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, North Macedonia is taking a crucial step forward with the introduction of the new Law on Security Networks and Information Systems. This law aims to establish a structured approach to cybersecurity, bringing the country in line with EU regulations and ensuring a safer digital environment for businesses and institutions alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recognizing the importance of this development, AmCham North Macedonia has actively engaged in the process, preparing two position papers to highlight key considerations for a balanced and effective legal framework. From ensuring clear terminology to avoiding regulatory overlap and prioritizing critical sectors, our recommendations focus on fostering a cybersecurity system that is both practical and sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/amcham.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/194fd1.pdf\">View Initial Position Paper (MKD Version)<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/amcham.mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/amcham-dopolnitelni-preporaki-po-naczrt-zakonot-za-bmis.pdf\">View Supplementary Position Paper (MKD Version)<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In today\u2019s digital world, cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue\u2014it\u2019s a fundamental pillar of national security and economic stability.
