 Transfer, through NCISA, the gained knowledge to the private sector in order to enhance its Cyber Security, while identifying competent and trustworthy service providers, which should enable the detection and treatment of the inevitable growth in the number of Cyber Attacks against businesses. The requirements for Cyber Security must be integrated in public contracting and draft legislation, while stimulating growth in the Cyber Security sector through:  Integrating security criteria in the selection of digital products and services in public contracting;  Offering a bonus factor if the bid is accompanied by a Cyber Security risk analysis;  Ensuring that laws include a section in their impact assessment dedicated to digital technology, including Cyber Security. 3.8 The role of Law Enforcement Agencies To improve Cyber Security capabilities, Law Enforcement Agencies (Army, Internal Security Forces, General Security, State Security) must take the following actions:  Increase the capacity of LEA, in coordination with international partner agencies, to identify, anticipate, and disrupt hostile cyber activities of foreign actors, Cyber Criminals, and terrorists. This will improve their intelligence gathering and exploitation, in order to obtain preventative information about the intentions and abilities of attackers.  Strengthen law enforcement efforts to prosecute and target criminals, wherever they may be, in coordination with local and international partners. Law Enforcement Agencies shall target criminals, who persist in attacking Lebanese citizens and businesses, by dismantling their infrastructure and facilitation networks.  Law Enforcement Agencies and the banking sector shall also continue to contribute to the awareness and standardization of Cyber Security.  Improve the actions of LEA and judicial services in investigations under judicial authority. The most important enabler factor and approach for all issues related to Cyber Crimes is dedicated, high-level, professional technical training, which must include laboratory-based, hands-on modules, sessions, and exercises. Additional boosters of quality can speed and enhance this process – these include dedicated procedural, technical, and operational relationships with international Cyber Security bodies, organizations, and specialized teams, supported by regular information sharing.  Strengthen coordination across Law Enforcement Agencies, including exchanging information on threat analysis.
