Finally, partnerships with private companies and Universities will be highly promoted. /p /brpTwo boutputs /b are expected in the domain of cybersecurity: the enhancement of national capacity to prevent and counter cyber-terrorism and cyber-organized crime, on the one hand, and the increasing of awareness on cybersecurity and cyber-crime, on the other hand. /p /brh32 - Description of the assignment /h3 /brh3Background /h3 /brpLebanon is facing today a number of cyber-related threats that require the adaptation of existing law and the development of new regulations. Lebanese legislators are currently taking significant steps in developing specific legislations on cybersecurity matters including information systems security, protection of critical infrastructures, digital trust, data protection and privacy, resilience, combating cybercrime and cyber-terrorism, use of emerging technologies (e.g. AI). /p /brpIt is therefore fundamental for Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs), the judiciary, BAR associations, and civil society organisations (CSOs) to have access to these legal documents.
