Abstract

The purpose of this document is to propose a solution to the challenge of assessing the maturity of essential capabilities in the practice of cyber defense through a model that provides a comparative analysis of the various manuals, guidelines, and systems within the cyber defense framework. The model is based on a methodology and framework that incorporates variables with defined measurement levels and is adaptable to both individual and collective capabilities. It contributes to decision-making and the development of this discipline by seeking to strengthen policies, governance, legal frameworks, management, and investment in the short, medium, and long term, in order to address any type of cyber threat or attack.
