EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The National Cybersecurity Strategy is the document that establishes the vision of the Mexican State in the matter, based on the acknowledgement of: A. The importance of the information and communication technologies (ICTs) as a political, social and economic development factor in Mexico, in the understanding that more individuals are connected to the Internet and that both private and public organizations develop their activities in cyberspace. B. The risks associated with the use of technologies and the growing number of cybercrimes. C. The need for a general cybersecurity culture. The increase of risks, threats and sophisticated computer attacks, the emergence of new ways and techniques to exploit vulnerabilities, and the increase of criminal conduct occurring through ICTs make cybersecurity a complex issue. Also, the global nature of cyberspace and the concurrence of different sovereignties and legal frameworks complicate matters more. In economic terms, according to the Latin American and Caribbean Cybersecurity Trends report1, cybercrime costs to the country between 3 and 5 billion dollars a year. In addition, it is noted that the risks and threats in cyberspace are global threats that have become more evident at different dialogue and cooperation spaces and mechanisms. The risks and threats in cyberspace may become a possible attack on human dignity, on the integrity of people, on the credibility, reputation and assets of companies and public institutions, and have effects on public safety or even national security. Several countries have developed cybersecurity strategies, in line with their own circumstances, their economic, social and political capacity. Some of the different global strategies are already at an advanced stage of maturity, implementing their second or third version, with years of experience, and with institutions and resources. Other countries have had their cybersecurity strategy published only for a few years or even months. The different progress levels of the countries and their cybersecurity strategies underscore the need and importance of positively impacting individuals, private organizations, academia and government institutions with concrete cybersecurity actions. 1 See OAS Report: Latin American and Caribbean Cybersecurity Trends available on the website https://www.sites.oas.org/cyber/Documents/2014%20-%20Tendencias%20de%20Seguridad%20Cibern% C3% A9tica% 20in% 20Am% C3% A9rica% 20Latina% 20y% 20el% 20Caribe.pdf consulted in October 2017.
