DERECHOS DIGITALES CYBERSECURITY IN LATIN AMERICA: NATIONAL STRATEGIES IN 2024 12 2.11. Paraguay: National Cybersecurity Plan Paraguay adopted its National Cybersecurity Plan in 2017, approved by Decree No. 7052/1712. This plan was developed under the leadership of the Presidency of the Republic, through the National Secretariat of Information and Communication Technologies (SENATICs, anacronym for Secretaría Nacional de Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación), in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and with the support of the OAS. The drafting process involved various sectors, including the private sector and civil society, with the goal of establishing public policies to strengthen the security of critical assets and promote a secure and resilient cyberspace. The plan is structured along several lines of action: awareness and culture, research, development and innovation, critical infrastructure protection, cyber incident response capacity, investigation and prosecution capacity, and national coordination. Moreover, it defines specific objectives and an action plan for the implementation of the national cybersecurity policy, with the participation of government entities, the private sector, academia, and civil society. In 2024, the Ministry of Information and Communication Technologies (MITIC), through the General Directorate of Cybersecurity and Information Protection (DGCPI) and the CERT-PY, began updating the national strategy for the period 2024-2028, once again with the support of the OAS. This process includes dialogue and roundtables with key actors of the national cybersecurity ecosystem, seeking to consolidate an updated public policy that responds to the emerging challenges in the digital sphere. 2.12. Dominican Republic: National Cybersecurity Strategy 2030 The Dominican Republic approved its National Cybersecurity Strategy 2030 through Decree No. 313-22 of June 14, 202213, valid until December 31, 2030. This strategy aims to strengthen the national cybersecurity framework, promoting the creation of secure, reliable, and resilient digital environments that promote an inclusive digital society that respects fundamental rights. The strategy is structured along several fundamental lines: strengthening regulatory framework, development of cybersecurity capabilities and competencies, protection of critical information infrastructures, risk management and response to cyber incidents, cybersecurity awareness and culture, and national and international cooperation. For its implementation, a Board of Directors has been established, chaired by the Ministry of the Presidency, which coordinates the actions of the National Cybersecurity Center (CNCS, anacronym for Secretaría Nacional de Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación). The CNCS is responsible for executing the policies and plans derived from the strategy, including the operation of the CSIRT-RD, the national cyber incident response team. The strategy provides periodic evaluations to adapt to new threats and technological advances, ensuring the protection of Dominican cyberspace and the digital trust of its citizens.
