A/72/315 Norms, rules and principles that characterize the responsible behaviour of States Portugal considers that security in network information is important and has been growing. It is important to highlight progress in the efforts to implement legislation on network security and integrity by adopting risk assessment methods, which demand the adoption of adequate cooperative security measures at technical and organizational levels and include the requirement of reporting security violations or loss of integrity that have a significant impact on the functioning of services. At the level of concepts, it is important to reinforce the idea that regulation should stem primarily from international rules. At the international level, it is important to reinforce information -sharing and the realization of field training exercises in border areas.
