A/76/187 requires the certification of technical and cryptographic information protection means, the development of import monitoring systems of information protection means, the alignment of the national legal framework in the field of cryptographic information protection with the European legal framework and the creation of a database on technical and cryptographic information protection means. Furthermore, the free access to the Internet global network, the existence of data of pornographic and extremist character, along with the difficulty of establishing the source and veracity of the uploaded data make it necessary to develop protection mechanisms for users, especially children, against any form of abuse in the online space. An evaluation of the Internet space aimed at identifying the entities and/or individuals involved in the production and dissemination of online media content with an impact on the informational security of the Republic of Moldova was necessary in order to identify, counteract and respond to informational security threats in the informational media space. Also, in order to develop strategic communication mechanisms, promote the national interests of the Republic of Moldova and ensure the security of the informational media space, the Strategy provides for the realization of a comprehensive study aimed at detecting and evaluating the vulnerable elements of the media component within the informational security system, as well as the creation of an informational resource for strategic communication containing information on security incidents and on detected disinformation and/or manipulation attempts. Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that the Strategy contains objectives that are necessary for international cooperation in the field of informational security and counteracting cybercrimes. The Strategy for Informational Security was approved for the period from 2019 to 2024 and sets out a number of objectives and measures to be gradually achieved, including with the assistance of international partners. Despite the fact that on the national level, the Republi c of Moldova is trying to implement several measures to consolidate its informational security capacities, we assess that on the international level, the situation in cyberspace is becoming more and more complex, with malicious State actors conducting soph isticated cyberattacks to interfere in the electoral processes of other countries, damaging critical infrastructures and carrying out cyberespionage attacks of the “supply chain” type, all of which are contrary to United Nations resolutions. At the same time, non-State cyberactors fully exploit informational system vulnerabilities for criminal purposes in order to obtain financial gains, using “Malware-as-a-Service” instruments. The above-mentioned issues cause the population to be reluctant towards new technologies and represent an impediment to the good development of informational technologies. Singapore [Original: English] [24 May 2021] Singapore is strongly committed to the establishment of an international rules based order in cyberspace that will serve as a basis for trust and confidence among Member States and facilitate economic and social progress. To reap the full benefits of digital technologies, the international community must develop a secure, trusted, 21-10045 21/46
