B.
Rules on information-sharing
Establish rules on information-sharing among CSIRTs, including how shared information
should be protected and disseminated.
C.
Establishment of national CSIRTs
Each member state will establish or designate national CSIRTs. Among their responsibilities
will be the implementation of the pertinent proposals contained in the document “Recommendations
of the CICTE Cybersecurity Practitioners’ Workshop on the OAS Integral Cybersecurity Strategy:
Framework for Establishing the Inter-American CSIRT Watch and Warning Network”
(CICTE/REGVAC/doc.2/04).
D.
National point of contact
Designate a national point of contact with the capacity to exchange information on threats,
weaknesses and incidents, report on the cybersecurity status in their jurisdiction, and provide timely
information to authorities within their jurisdiction.
E.
Best practices compendium
Produce a Best Practices compendium based on international CSIRT norms and practices.
These could include standards and protocols to undertake real-time monitoring and subsequent
exchange of information throughout the network, and could become the basis of subsequent technical
assistance and testing protocols.
F.
Assistance for building and maintaining CSIRTs in Member States
Identify resources and capabilities that can be used to help member states build and maintain
CSIRT capacity or improve existing CSIRT infrastructures in order to effectively participate in the
hemispheric network and meet information-sharing rules. Necessary technical assistance and staff
training will be included.
G.
Public awareness
CICTE, CITEL, and the REMJA Working Group of Government Experts in Cybercrime will
work together to develop an awareness campaign to alert the public in member states to cybersecurity
issues and the need to protect their cyber-networks.
H.
Follow-up
It is recommended that CICTE reconvene the Meeting of Government Experts on
Cybersecurity (Cybersecurity Practitioner’s Workshop) to develop and implement the
recommendations formulated in the document “Recommendations of the CICTE Cybersecurity
Practitioners’ Workshop on the OAS Integral Cybersecurity Strategy: Framework for Establishing the
Inter-American CSIRT Watch and Warning Network” (CICTE/REGVAC/doc.2/04).
