Considering that cybersecurity is a key element for the digital society and the public, it is the duty of public authorities to take part in these affairs throughout Catalonia. The citizens, companies and institutions of this country must be given a public cybersecurity service with the responsibility to protect them. This public cybersecurity service must be able to perform the following duties, among others:- Develop and lead the implantation of a cybersecurity model in Catalonia from current threats;- Coordinate cybersecurity among the various stakeholders in Catalonia, as the body responsible for this area;- Guarantee the cybersecurity of the Catalan Government Administration and its public sector, and, if necessary, all other public entities.To respond to all these needs, there must be a body that, within the purview of the Government of Catalonia, works to carry out the public cybersecurity service activities, and facilitates the guarantee and augmentation of security on the Internet and in the information systems of Catalonia. Its duties must be based on implementing protection measures for public infrastructure and its services, as well as the coordination with private information society service suppliers to achieve its aims.Law 15/2017, of July 25, on the Cybersecurity Agency of Catalonia, determines the body's capacities to deploy the public cybersecurity service, to guarantee that the Government will have the resources necessary to face cyberattacks and cyberthreats, and reduce the risk while improving the levels of cybersecurity in Catalonia.
