La población como objetivo estratégico de las acciones cibernéticas: Desafíos para la defensa y seguridad multidimensional presentes (o no) en las Políticas y Estrategias Nacionales de Seguridad Cibernética

Abstract

This article explores the contemporary context of cyberspace, highlighting the increasing importance of cybersecurity. It emphasizes the need for effective defenses to protect information and underscores cyber hygiene as a possible line of defense through user awareness and education and its implications. The text discusses the persistence of the culture of transgression, especially in Latin America, regarding this concept and examines the role of cybersecurity education in promoting national resilience.
The importance of protecting the population against psychological influences resulting from cyber-attacks is also addressed, advocating that the revision of National Cybersecurity Strategies should include the population as a "critical infrastructure". People-centered public policies are essential to anticipate and mitigate the adverse effects of such cyber threats on the population, aiming to prevent it from becoming an effective and efficient weapon that demands its security and defense.
