Role of public prosecutor On 28 May 2024, the National Council of the Public Prosecutor’s Office ( Conselho Nacional do Ministério Público , or CNMP) unanimously approved a resolution establishing the National Cybersecurity Policy and System of the Public Prosecutor’s Office ( Política e o Sistema Nacion- al de Cibersegurança do Ministério Público , or “PNCiber-MP”). Resolution No 294/2024 aims to set forth principles, guidelines, and a mini - mum governance system to guide the planning, actions, and control of cybersecurity within the units and branches of the public prosecutor. The proposal consists of nine chapters addressing various aspects such as principles, goals, instru - ments, governance, and the management of the PNCiber-MP. The resolution was officially pub - lished on 3 July 2024. The PNCiber-MP is an integral part of the Institu - tional Security Policy of the Public Prosecutor’s Office ( Política de Segurança Institucional do Ministério Público , or PSI/MP), established by CNMP Resolution No 156/2016, which regulates measures aimed at security in information and communications technology (ICT). The resolu - tion outlines that cybersecurity encompasses a set of actions designed to prevent, detect, treat, and respond to digital threats using appropriate controls, including policies, rules, processes, procedures, organisational structures, tech - nologies, and people. These measures aim to ensure the availability, integrity, confidentiality and authenticity of information, in line with the risk profile of the public prosecutor. The guiding principles of the PNCiber-MP include: • the protection of fundamental rights and guarantees of users;
• integration and co-operation among cyberse - curity actors; • proactive incident prevention; and • the reliability of information systems. The instruments defined by the PNCiber-MP include the National Strategic Planning of the Public Prosecutor’s Office ( Planejamento Estra- tégico Nacional do Ministério Público , or PEN- MP), the PSI/MP, the National Information Tech - nology Policy ( Política Nacional de Tecnologia da Informação do Ministério Público , or PNTI-MP), and the National Strategic Information Technol - ogy Plan ( Plano Estratégico Nacional de Tec- nologia da Informação do Ministério Público , or PEN-TI-MP). Additionally, the PNCiber-MP includes the insti - tutional security plans and strategic information technology plans of the units and branches of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, as well as proto - cols, instructions, manuals, and technical state - ments issued by governance and management bodies. The National Cybersecurity System of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, co-ordinated by the CNMP, will adopt a co-operative governance methodology and include the National Cyberse - curity Management Committee ( Comitê Gestor Nacional de Cibersegurança do Ministério Públi- co , or “CGNCiber-MP”), the Cyber Crisis Man - agement Committee, and the National Cyberse - curity Co-operation Network ( Rede Nacional de Cooperação em Cibersegurança do Ministério Público , or “REDECiber-MP”).
