The Ministry of Security has approved Resolution 72/2025, published on January 15, 2025, which establishes the Federal Plan for the Prevention of Cybercrime and Strategic Management of Cybersecurity (2025-2027). This plan aims to strengthen the capabilities for preventing, detecting, and investigating cybercrimes throughout the country, while promoting the security of information and communication technologies.
The initiative seeks to coordinate efforts between the National Government, the provinces, and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires to tackle the challenges posed by the advancement of digital technologies, new forms of crime, and cyber threats such as organized crime, money laundering, and arms trafficking. Furthermore, it highlights the strategic importance of cybersecurity in protecting the nation’s critical infrastructure, ensuring national security, and maintaining citizens’ trust in the digital environment.
The plan will be led by the Cybercrime and Cyber Affairs Directorate, under the Advisory Cabinet Unit of the Ministry of Security. It includes the creation of a national collaboration network among law enforcement agencies, the development of specialized capabilities in digital forensics, and the strengthening of the legal framework on cybercrimes. It also promotes the updating of investigation and prevention protocols, as well as increasing international cooperation in the fight against cybercrime.
As part of this initiative, continuous training for police and security forces is planned, and strategies will be designed that involve both public and private sectors to create an integrated cybersecurity culture, thereby protecting both institutions and citizens.
