The general objective of the National Cybersecurity Strategy is to identify and establish
cybersecurity actions for the social, economic, and political spheres, so both private
and public organizations use and take advantage of ICTs in a responsible manner and
contribute to the sustainable development of Mexico.
To achieve the general objective, 5 strategic objectives have been established for:
1. Society and Rights
2. Economy and Innovation
3. Public Institutions
4. Public Security
5. National Security
Three guiding principles have been considered for the development of the ENCS:
A. A Human Rights Perspective
B. A Risk-Management Approach
C. Multidisciplinary and Multi-Stakeholder Collaboration
To achieve the strategic objectives, 8 cross-cutting pillars will be developed for:
1. Cybersecurity Culture
2. Capacity Building
3. Coordination and Collaboration
4. ICT Research, Development and Innovation
5. Standards and Technical Criteria
6. Critical Infrastructure
7. Legal Framework and Self-Regulation
8. Measurement and Monitoring
In an initial stage, the Interministerial Commission for the Development of the Electronic
Government (CIDGE, for short in Spanish) through the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity
will be in charge of coordinating the Federal Government entities and articulating the
efforts of the different actors for the implementation and monitoring of the strategy.
The success of ENCS relies on the collaboration of the different stakeholders and in the
shared responsibility for ICT adoption and use. This is a live document that aims to be
constantly updated as required.
