Goal II Secure and reliable use of cyberspace to ward off illicit or malicious use. Cyberspace plays an increasingly important role in committing illicit or malicious acts and investigating them to encourage citizen trust. It is necessary to guarantee suitable prosecution of criminal phenomena that are taking place in it. Fighting cybercrime can be divided into three fields: (i) cyberspace as the direct target of criminal acts, or the threat; (ii) cyberspace as the key medium for committing the crime; and (iii) cyberspace as the medium or direct investigation target for any type of illicit behaviour. Based on solid and effective regulation that reinforces and guarantees fighting cybercrime, it is necessary to strengthen legal and police cooperation, both nationally and internationally, and assign sufficient resources to competent bodies on this matter and skills training for professionals working in this area. In the same way, citizen collaboration and participation must be encouraged, facilitating procedures to access and transmit information that might be of legal or police interest and identifying aspects that require improving capabilities among police institutions and competent legal organisations 36 National Cybersecurity Strategy 2019 Prime Minister’s Office
