During the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly, a cybersecurity agreement was announced between Venezuela, Russia, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Nicaragua, Belarus, Burkina Faso, Egypt, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, and Laos.

The signing of this agreement is an endorsement of the United Nations Convention on Cybercrime and will help members collect and share digital evidence, combat the use of cyberspace to commit crimes, and strengthen regulations in this field.

“The group urged all member states to sign the document during the official ceremony scheduled for Hanoi in 2025, and to work on the development of an additional protocol addressing other crimes enabled by digital technologies, in accordance with General Assembly resolutions 74/247 and 75/282.”

Venezuela and the 11 signatory countries urged the UN to establish a “Permanent Mechanism on ICT Security, to replace the current open working group on the peaceful use of information technologies (2021–2025). The objective would be to consolidate a stable, consensus-based institutional framework to address cybersecurity issues from the perspective of international peace and stability.”

The document is critical of sensitive issues such as the use of new technologies as tools for interference in internal affairs, “political destabilization, and manipulation through satellite internet networks.”

The twelve nations advocate multilateralism, non-interference, and respect for each state’s national legislation.

Cybercriminals know the importance of the data uploaded daily on the Internet, and their attacks are becoming more sophisticated. Given the increase in crimes such as phishing, scams, ransomware, the fact of having an advisor in computer forensics becomes more relevant.

The role of a forensic expert is to collect all the pertinent electronic information in a particular case. You must obtain and analyze said data, in addition to processing and presenting it in court, if applicable.

Its function is based on the meticulous investigation of digital evidence, in search of clues to establish responsibilities in a cyber crime.

Computer forensics collects data such as emails, messages sent by the WhatsApp social network, text messages, digital files, documents with electronic signatures.

In this discipline, as in any other, scientific techniques are studied for collecting electronic evidence, keeping files in custody, preserving content, among others.

Faced with some gaps in information and regulation in cybersecurity, computer experts consider it necessary for both companies and individuals to redouble efforts to protect their data, through backup copies, careful selection of the information they share and store, carry out audits, establish firewalls, strengthen their passwords, among the most common recommendations.
