Specific Objective 3. Development of National Capacity in Cybernetic Security
Carry out training campaigns exclusively for the public sector having the
education of final users in cybernetic security concepts and good practices as
objective and preparing expert users (developers, administrators, directives) in
cybernetic security techniques.
Many organizations have not been able to address cybernetic security comprehensively, either
because the information security function has not been assigned to a specific person or unit,
have not a dequately addressed the need of including it in their c o m m e r c i a l operations or
simply don’t have the resources necessary to assign it.
A comprehensive part of the strategy shall be the implementation of measures destined to
literacy, awareness and training of human resources in themes of cybernetic security. The level
of competence is highly important for all personnel with public institutions, especially
administrators and those responsible of decision-making, since attacks are often done under the
social engineering modality aimed at strategic employees or functionaries to have access to their
protected information systems.
The main purpose of a cybernetic security culture is the protection of informatics systems and
the adoption of good cybernetic practices by these users.
Strategic Line 3.1.
Foster the dissemination and promotion of specialization or training opportunities in
cybernetic security available locally or internationally to functionaries of the public sector.
Propose and impulse adjustments in the academic offer that allow developing study
plans in cybernetic security or add cybersecurity m odules to pertinent pre-graduate,
post-graduate and doctorate programs.
Promote the inclusion of the cybersecurity topic in at least one course of nontechnological careers.
Strategic Line 3.2.
Training of Specialized Human Resources
Research and Development
Form alliances with public and private universities to develop research projects on the
emerging threats and the development of innovative solutions to cybernetic incidents.
