International cooperation and assistance in information and communications technology security and capacity-building With regard to the facilitation of cross-border cooperation to address critical infrastructure vulnerabilities that transcend national borders, the Attorney General’s Office has noted that it is important to develop capacities in the region to combat cybercrime. Colombia has thus sought to develop strategic partnerships and has participated in various forums; for example, it has officially become a State party to the Convention on Cybercrime, has been involved in various United Nations working groups and has signed memorandums of understanding against cybercrime with various other States. In addition, as part of its cooperation and coordination efforts, Colombia is working in conjunction with the network of computer security incident response teams in the Americas, a platform for the exchange of threat-related information and for cooperation among incident response groups in the region. Colombia also participates in international information exchange projects, such as bulletins and early warnings for financial-sector-related governmental and supervisory entities of other countries in the region (for example, the Central American Council of Comptrollers of Banks, Insurance Companies and other Financial Institutions and the Pacific Alliance). The Attorney General’s Office has promoted the signing of a number of memorandums of understanding with other States in order to combat cybercrime and related offences.
