Goal II
Secure and reliable use of cyberspace to ward off illicit or malicious
use.
Cyberspace plays an increasingly important role in committing illicit or malicious acts
and investigating them to encourage citizen trust. It is necessary to guarantee suitable
prosecution of criminal phenomena that are taking place in it.
Fighting cybercrime can be divided into three fields: (i) cyberspace as the direct target
of criminal acts, or the threat; (ii) cyberspace as the key medium for committing the
crime; and (iii) cyberspace as the medium or direct investigation target for any type
of illicit behaviour.
Based on solid and effective regulation that reinforces and guarantees fighting
cybercrime, it is necessary to strengthen legal and police cooperation, both nationally
and internationally, and assign sufficient resources to competent bodies
on this matter and skills training for professionals working in this
area.
In the same way, citizen collaboration and participation must
be encouraged, facilitating procedures to access and transmit
information that might be of legal or police interest and
identifying aspects that require improving capabilities among
police institutions and competent legal organisations
