DERECHOS DIGITALES CYBERSECURITY IN LATIN AMERICA: NATIONAL STRATEGIES IN 2024 7 The goals to which the 42 measures mentioned are subordinated are the following: strengthening the institutional system to address cybersecurity at the federal level; protection of critical national infrastructures; protection and recovery of public sector information systems; strengthening of prevention, detection and response capabilities; cybersecurity awareness, training, and education; development of a regulatory framework according to digital challenges; international cooperation in cybersecurity; promotion of the national cybersecurity industry. 2.2. Brazil: E-Ciber The National Strategy for Cyber Security or “E-Cyber” was approved by Decree No. 10.222, in February 20202. Its purpose is to consolidate Brazil's regional leadership in cybersecurity. It is part of the National Information Security Policy, established by Decree No. 9.637 of December 2018, which defines principles and objectives for information security in the federal public administration. E-Ciber was developed with the participation of more than forty government agencies, private institutions and the academic sector, and its main objective is to strengthen cybersecurity in the country, improving the resilience of critical infrastructures and national public services. The vision of Brazil's National Cyber Security Strategy is to make Brazil “a country of excellence in cyber security”. To achieve this, three fundamental strategic objectives were defined: to make Brazil a more prosperous and trusted country in the digital environment; to increase its resilience to cyber threats; and to strengthen Brazil's role in cybersecurity in the international arena. This seems coherent with Jair Bolsonaro’s government since the strategy was approved during his administration. The policy’s strategic actions include fostering national and international cooperation for the exchange of information on cyber threats; developing cyber incident prevention, monitoring, and response capabilities; protecting critical information infrastructures with a comprehensive approach; promoting public awareness of the importance of cybersecurity; establishing technical training programs in cybersecurity; encouraging research and development of advanced technological solutions; and actively participating in international forums related to cybersecurity. E-Ciber’s term was due until 2023. In June 2023, under a different administration, it was announced that the strategy would be extended to 20243. A new policy is still pending and already being worked on.
