The evolution of national security throughout history is undeniably dynamic. New domains and threats continue to emerge alongside economic, societal, and technological developments, requiring both international and national actors to adapt their governance approaches. One of the most prominent domains of contemporary security is the security of digital technologies. The emergence of these new domains brings with it alternative models of governance that shift away from traditional reliance on political authority and coercive power, emphasizing instead expertise and regulation. The European Union exemplifies this shift with its regulatory security governance model. Whether this model can be effectively applied at the nation-state level is examined through a case study of the Czech Republic's National Cyber and Information Security Agency (NÚKIB). The study builds upon a methodological framework previously used to analyze European supranational institutions and draws primarily on the agency's official publications and semi-structured interviews with its personnel. This article contributes to the ongoing debate about the interaction between positive and regulatory security governance exercised by international and national actors. The findings highlight the complex nature of cybersecurity governance and offer insights into how epistemic authority and expert-driven legitimacy influence the national cybersecurity landscape.
