Nask

What Nask does

NASK (Naukowa i Akademicka Sieć Komputerowa – Państwowy Instytut Badawczy) is Poland's national research institute for computer networking, cybersecurity, and digital government services, founded in 1987 and operating under the supervision of the Ministry of Digital Affairs. Headquartered in Warsaw with 251-500 employees, NASK operates as a State Research Institute (Państwowy Instytut Badawczy) with statutory mandates spanning national cybersecurity, academic networking, and public-sector digital transformation. Its core product portfolio includes EZD RP, an electronic document management system serving 250,000 users across 3,000+ administrative units; OSE (Ogólnopolska Sieć Edukacyjna), a national educational network providing schools with minimum 100 Mb/s connectivity; CSIRT NASK and CSIRT GOV for national cybersecurity incident response; Dyżurnet.pl, a hotline that processed 17,000+ illegal content reports in 2025; and the WHOIS domain registry for .pl domains. The institute also operates the S46 Cyber Hub for NIS2 compliance, GovTech competition platform, eRecruitment system, and disinformation reporting portal.

In March 2026, NASK launched a high-performance AI computing cluster equipped with 96 NVIDIA B200 GPUs, 50+ TB RAM, and 1+ PB of All-Flash NVME storage on weka.io infrastructure, funded by PLN 30 million from the Ministry of Digital Affairs. This liquid-cooled cluster supports research in content analysis, biometrics, network anomaly detection, and AI model security testing. Revenue mechanics combine direct Polish government budget appropriations, multi-program EU funding (POPC, Fundusze Europejskie dla Nowoczesnej Gospodarki, Fundusze Norweskie, EOG), public procurement contracts, and .pl domain registration services. As a government entity rather than a commercial enterprise, core services (OSE internet, EZD RP, Dyżurnet.pl) are provided without commercial pricing. The institute operates exclusively within Poland, serves public administration, educational institutions, critical infrastructure operators, and Polish citizens, and holds ISO 27001 certification alongside CYBERSEC 2026 awards for Lider Cyberedukacji and Innowacji Roku.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• ENISA (European Union Agency for Cybersecurity): ENISA is the EU-level agency coordinating national CSIRTs and supporting cybersecurity capacity across member states. It mirrors NASK's role as Poland's national CSIRT operator and IT GRC authority, operating at pan-European rather than national level.
• secunet Security Networks AG: Germany's publicly listed cybersecurity specialist delivering solutions for governments, critical infrastructure, and public administration. Closely comparable to NASK's cybersecurity and e-government mandate, including SINA, high-security network access, and government-grade IT services.
• GÉANT: Pan-European research and education networking organization serving thousands of institutions across EU member states. Directly comparable to NASK's academic networking heritage and OSE national education network operations, with overlapping trust, identity, and security service portfolios.
• NCSC-NL (National Cyber Security Centre, Netherlands): Dutch national CSIRT and cybersecurity authority operating under the National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism. Functions as a near-twin to NASK's national CERT role, with similar incident response, threat intelligence, and critical-infrastructure protection mandates.
• ANSSI: France's national cybersecurity agency under the Secretariat-General for National Defence and Security. Operates France's government CERT, sets national cybersecurity standards, and supports critical infrastructure operators - functionally analogous to NASK's combined CSIRT NASK and national GRC scope.
• Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI): Germany's federal cybersecurity authority and CSIRT-Bund operator. Runs national cyber incident response, certifies security products, and advises German government administration in the same way NASK does for Poland, making it a like-for-like counterpart with larger scale.

Broad incumbents

• Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft: Germany's largest applied research organization operating dozens of institutes including cybersecurity-focused FKIE and SIT. Matches NASK's state research institute identity, applied-research mandate, and mix of contract research for government and industry clients.
• T-Systems International: Deutsche Telekom's enterprise and public sector IT services arm, providing managed IT, cloud, and cybersecurity to German and European governments. Overlaps with NASK's e-government document management, cloud, and managed services for public administration customers.

Emerging players

• NCC Group plc: UK-listed cybersecurity services firm offering managed SOC, incident response, threat intelligence, and assurance services. Comparable to NASK's CSIRT and cybersecurity consulting capabilities but operating in commercial markets rather than as a national authority.

Others

• Capgemini Engineering / Sogeti: Global IT services group with significant European public-sector practice including digital government, document management, and cybersecurity transformation projects. Serves as a commercial comparator for the scale of EU public-sector modernization work NASK delivers through OSE and EZD RP.
