How to develop a national cybersecurity strategy for developing countries. Ecuador case

Abstract:

The increase use of Information and Communication Technologies entails associated risks, which must be systematically managed by those responsible for state security. This need has led to the development of National Cybersecurity Strategies, which in one way or another have been created and formalized, without applying a specific model previously analyzed in reference to the good practices that have been published by international organizations working in. In these matters, the lessons learned in similar exercises carried out by states that have developed their national strategies in various ways, often with foreign consultants far from local reality, have not been considered. This work aims to cover this need and provide a systematically analyzed methodology based on the good practices developed so far, adapted to Latin American reality with an example applied in Ecuador, so that it can be used by other countries in the region or similar conditions as a methodological guide to develop your strategies.
