Organization of American States, Inter-American Comprehensive Strategy for Cybersecurity: A Multidimensional and Multidisciplinary Approach to Creating a Culture of Cybersecurity (full-text).

Overview[]

This document identified cybersecurity as an emerging threat to OAS member states and requires three OAS entities to take action to address different aspects of cybersecurity. The document provided that:

CICTE [Inter-American Committee against Terrorism] will develop plans for the creation of a hemisphere-wide 24-hour per day, seven-day per week network and Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs) capable of and charged with appropriately and rapidly disseminating cybersecurity information and providing technical guidance and support in the event of a cyber incident. These teams could begin simply as official points of contact located in each State and charged with receiving computer security information to be transformed into CSIRTs in the future.
