General Goal
New cybersecurity challenges have meant adapting the general goal to become more
integrating, inclusive and less technified.
In line with the 2017 National Security Strategy and broadening
the cybersecurity goal mentioned in it, Spain will guarantee secure,
reliable use of cyberspace, protecting citizens’ rights and freedoms
and promoting socio-economic progress.
Based on this general goal, a series of specific goals are explained below to guide the
State’s action in this field.
Goal I
Security and resilience of information and communication networks
and systems for the public sector and essential services.
A coherent, integrated national framework should be consolidated to help guarantee
protection of information handled by the public sector and essential services, their
systems and services, as well as the networks that support them. This framework will
make it possible to develop and implant increasingly secure and efficient services.
To do so, security measures should be implemented, focussing on improving capabilities
for prevention, detection and response to incidents, developing new solutions,
reinforcing coordination and adapting the legal system accordingly.
Actions against cyberespionage particularly deserve a special mention as this ensures
protection of Spain’s Technological Patrimony, understood as the material or immaterial
