This is why, while this development occurs, it is vital that protocols and standards are established to prevent, report and resolve cybersecurity incidents. In addition to having robust legislation, policies and measures that attack these new forms of crime. It should be noted that this is part of the prioritized agenda of 31 government security projects, which has the objective of providing more tools for the prosecution of crimes and new laws to strengthen the State against crime,” he indicated.

However, during the Boric administration, substantive steps have been taken to take charge of the different phenomena associated with the country’s digital transformation, as well as to confront new computer crimes, the authority added.
Seremi also highlighted that thanks to these advances, Chile will have a high-standard regulatory ecosystem in digital matters worldwide and will become the first country in Latin America to have a framework to regulate the issue.
