A/75/123 technological infrastructure, and that are designed for the bodies and entities responsible for cybersecurity and key sectors. Likewise, and as part of the strengthening of capacities, it is important to regularly update the catalogue of national critical cyberinfrastructure and the related protection plans, as well as the mechanisms for coordination between them. Since this is a matter that concerns us all, it is essential to work on the creation of educational content relating to digital security, so that it can be included in academic curricula at different levels of education and in non -formal courses. In view of the establishment of procedures for mutual assistance in responding to incidents and in dealing with short-term network security problems, including procedures for expediting assistance, Colombia has a national model for inciden t response, which establishes the protocol for the management of incidents that occur throughout the country, whereby the cyber entities act in accordance with their powers and functions. Specifically, the Government’s computer security incident response team was established to strengthen the digital ecosystem in State entities, providing them with services free of charge. The service catalogue covers three types of s ervices: proactive, reactive and security management. These include website availability monitoring, vulnerability analysis, monitoring of security events, support for incident management and response, and awareness-raising with regard to incident management. The Government’s computer security incident response team coordinates with the other State cyber entities (the Computer Emergency Response Group of Colombia, the Joint Cyber Command and the Cyber Police Centre) to manage incidents in State entities and, through the Digital Security Committee, is involved in devising strategies to address issues that affect the digital security of private citizens and the State. In order to facilitate cross-border cooperation to address critical infrastructure vulnerabilities that transcend national borders, the Attorney General’s Office also coordinates with countries in the region on strategies for timely and streamlined information exchange in national investigations in which there is knowledge of possible attacks on or breaches of critical infrastructure. The Ministry of Information and Communications Technology, through the Government’s computer security incident response team, coordinates with the Computer Emergency Response Group and the Cyber Police Centre to v alidate information through various international sources that make it possible to expedit e mitigation and investigation actions when warranted. With regard to the development of sustainability strategies in capacity -building initiatives relating to ICT security, guidelines and recommendations for capacity building were included in the various public policy instruments contained in National Council for Economic and Social Policy documents Nos. 3711 and 3854 of 2016. In addition, other administrative and legal measures to strengthen the response capacity are announced by the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology and the Ministry of Defence, among others. In this regard, for example, cooperation agreements have been concluded between the Government of Colombia and OAS, through which the parties combine their technical cooperation efforts in order to support the updating of digital security guidelines and the strengthening of technical capacities and skills for cyber risk management through initiatives in two basic areas: (a) policy development and dissemination and (b) capacity-building. 20-08285 23/84
