Internet, and also to contribute to promoting certainty and trust in the new
digital ecosystem.
● The importance of redefining the legal framework for cybersecurity,
harmonizing federal and state-level legislation, guaranteeing the protection of
personal data and stimulating information sharing. A framework to provide the
police forces with adequate tools
● Guarantee the protection of critical infrastructure, especially cyber-resilience
under a risk management approach to have clear mechanisms and protocols
available for system recovery
● The development of skills and competences for the new digital ecosystem,
clearly defining the new skills that will be needed, expanding, developing and
recruiting the best possible talent
On the other hand, according to the same study of the private sector, the most
important gaps of Mexican organizations are: “information classification,
cybersecurity metrics, business continuity training and cyber resilience, as well as
vulnerability testing by third parties” 23:
“In addition, large organizations have a greater perception of risk; they are
oriented towards digital transformation; they are aware of threats and the need
to act against them; but, above all, they have a high perception that they can
be violated. This leads them to adopt the best practices in cybersecurity.”
“Among the main findings, only 65.3% of participating organizations consider
themselves fairly prepared to face the threats and 59.7% said that digital
transformation is necessary for the success of the business strategy. For 57.7% of
participants, the areas of Operations, Finance and Brand Reputation are the
most impacted in case of an attack. 47.54% considers that there is an alarming
increase of new and more complex threats, which is why they are acting on the
subject; and 46.7% indicated that there is an average probability that their digital
assets will be stolen or damaged”.
On the other hand, in order to contribute to the National Goal of “Mexico: a Country
in Peace” in the 2013-2018 National Development Plan, the Federal Police, through its
Scientific Division, has responded to more than 51,000 citizen complaints and more
than 200,000 cyber incidents. Nearly 17,000 fraudulent websites have been disabled
and more than 2,000 cybersecurity alerts have been issued to public and private
institutions.
The National Cybersecurity Strategy is cross-cutting and articulated with other
programs and strategies, following the provisions in the 2013-2018 National
