Public Security Policies in the Information Society

Most countries are in the process of reaching agreement among multiple participants - apart from the governments themselves - establishing a high level management structure for the implementation of national policies. Major advances have been made in the development of national frameworks for security policies, measures for combating cybercrime have been approved, and response teams for security issues have been established. This article presents the main public policies and legal proceedings for promoting information security, focussing specifically on legal proceedings which have been carried out in Catalonia and the rest of Spain.
