Description
The use of the Internet by large sectors of society represents the interaction through information technology infrastructure, communication networks, information systems and telecommunications, as it determines the presence and exposure of cyber threats. The Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) was used to transit between observed reality and the world of systems, where emerges a Strategic Cyber Security and Cyber Defense Model (SCSCDM), proposed as a component of the security, defense and integral development of Venezuela. The human activities system foresees five subsystems: universal and inalienable guar- antees of fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens; research, prevention, detection and management of cyber incidents; strengthening of economic welfare and social progress based on the development of information technology and communi- cation; democratic, participatory, protagonist and pluralistic society; international cooperation and projection of cyber realm. The proposed system of human activities provides interaction with the environment where it is inserted, so the elements with which it interacts are identified
