particularly cybersecurity, and availability of workers with the required level of
knowledge or training.
Secondly, transition from a preventive and defensive cybersecurity model to a more
dissuasive framework falls into line with a global context demonstrating
greater geopolitical competence. Use of cyberspace as a field of
confrontation, independently or as part of a hybrid action, is widely
recognised. Dissuasion in cybersecurity requires obtaining and
strengthening cyberdefence skills, as a fundamental element of
the State’s action.
Thirdly, fast evolving cyberthreats require a more proactive
approach from cyberintelligence. Its integration in the overall
cybersecurity framework is key to provide knowledge of the
situation and the necessary early warning that can anticipate
actions from potential opponents through knowledge of their skills,
techniques, tactics and intentions. In addition, it is necessary to encourage
the use of mechanisms and means that allow appropriate investigation and prosecution
of perpetrators to increase possibilities of attribution.
All the above can be added to the need for greater implication from all society by
encouraging a cybersecurity culture, to evolve from awareness of the commitment,
in the understanding that citizens have joint-responsibility for national cybersecurity.
