Asset management and contact details in the event of an incident, new developments in the Security Portal for Local Administrations
The Cybersecurity Agency of Catalonia, as of this week, has an Advisory Committee to guarantee the fulfillment of one of its main objectives: to deploy the cyber security model in the local administration, and it does so with the collaboration of the AOC Consortium. This Advisory Committee has already established the basis of the work plan and the calendar of the next sessions to evaluate the progress of the work of the Committee.
The Commission will be made up of different experts from the AOC Consortium, the Provincial Council of Girona, the Provincial Council of Lleida and the Town Councils of Tremp, Tarragona, Cornellà and Sant Boi de Llobregat. The formation of this Committee therefore represents a collaboration between different institutions to deal jointly with the challenge of implementing an effective cyber security model.
On the other hand, with the creation of this Advisory Commission, it is intended to establish a solid framework to address the challenges of the sector in the local administration and guarantee an efficient and secure management of information. The importance of this initiative lies in the need to ensure the protection of data and critical infrastructures against cyber threats. A challenge that, like other entities, administrations must face.
The first meeting of the Commission was held this Thursday, January 25 and served to define the strategy and stipulate the initial bases of its purpose. The president of the Commission and Director of the Cybersecurity Agency, Tomàs Roy, emphasizes that "the challenge of deploying the new cyber security model for local administrations requires and demands from us a collaboration with the most representative entities and agents in the municipal world in order to achieve the success of the deployment. As of today, we have reached 214 municipal entities, but the leap we want to make calls us to promote this institutional collaboration like the one that will be done within the framework of this Commission."
This starting point reflects the will of the Government and the institutions involved to work together, in the digital security of the whole country, as well as in the construction of a common model of Administration. This is another tool in the transversal transformation of institutions throughout the territory, through a securely connected Catalonia that looks after the well-being of citizens.
