Identity and conceal their cybernetic attacks, which hampers recognition, as well as the timely
collection of probative elements of the crime, which limits due process by the corresponding
authorities.
The advantages offered by digital technologies, for example cloud services, are also exposed to
attackers, since public clouds are not only more vulnerable targets, but are also virtually
unlimited and anonymous network resources for attackers.
Therefore, there is an evident need to develop and implement specific solutions to the risks and
special vulnerabilities of the ICT, which evolve on a daily basis. Facing this reality and to be
able to respond in a prompt and diligent way, the collaboration and cooperation of different
national and international player is required.
A decisive step towards the exploitation of digital technologies would be defining a strategy,
including actions pertaining to security from a holistic perspective, which takes into account all
the elements, including identification of risks and threats that could result and their possible
prevention mechanisms, the adequate attention of incidents and implementation of corresponding
corrective processes.
The attention of incidents and cyber-attacks requires flexibility and speed in the development
of an articulate national response, considering the existing frameworks and processes. For this
reason, a series of elements have been considered, integrated in a strategy, seeking to increase
cybernetic resilience, the development of the required human and technological resources, the
strengthening of specialized response teams, national and international cooperation to enable
exchange of information and the investigation of the informatics crimes.
