This now sounded branch should become the pillar of much of the functioning in every sense of a country, because thanks to cybersecurity we have protection against invisible attacks or cyberattacks against critical infrastructures, these great priorities for the operation of a nation.
We are users of a platform, a device and many times we neglect the importance of true care. Believing that the fact that something is happening in cyberspace and it is invisible will not cause any affectation, is a misconception, remember that our personal information, conversations, photos, videos, location, bank accounts, can be stored in the comfort of our mobiles; However, it is often simple for an attacker to seize that valuable information and create an impact, even patrimonial.
Today we are faced with invisible attackers, behind a device, perhaps in another country, but with the danger of committing a criminal action in a matter of seconds, all thanks to technology. This is where cybersecurity comes in to achieve safeguarding of all the digital assets of a user, a company, a country, without this we are only adrift in a hostile and unknown terrain where predators and threats are dangerous, the internet.
What about Mexico? Despite the fact that our National Cybersecurity Strategy is dusty because it has a color from another six-year period, it leaves us some of the guidelines for action to take a look at what Mexico needs; public policies are needed to bring the population closer together, to make a real impact on society.
Although the SEMAR and the National Guard give guidelines for action, these are internal and to a certain extent left the population aside and it is understood due to the importance of safeguarding each agency and what they involve with them; The cybersecurity manual for SMEs by the National Guard is appreciated.
The current utopian Digital Strategy mentions information security, however, let us remember that in the face of austerity guidelines -which does not mean savings- it reveals many gaps of possible attacks on government agencies, key points were missing for this.
