The National security strategy Security is a coerstone of development and progress in a free society. A basic and widespread understanding of the importance of security as a guarantee of citizens’ well-being and the stability of the State itself is therefore essential.
This vision can only be articulated through a Strategy that defines a global and all-embracing frame of reference in security matters; a Strategy that envisages the unique characteristics of the risks and threats we face in a world that is undergoing changes as deep as they are constant; a Strategy that orients the State’s action towards responding to current challenges by using the available resources flexibly and efficiently; a Strategy that enhances our prevention, protection and response capabilities in an increasingly complex environment like today’s.
Added to the traditional risks and threats are new, generally transnational ones which are interconnected and increase their danger; and at the same time new gaps are emerging that facilitate their spread and impact. Today cyberspace is the clearest example of an area that is accessible, loosely regulated and difficult to control and cybersecurity is therefore one of the main areas of action covered by this Strategy.
Spain, as a Mediterranean European Union Member State with a privileged but complex geographical location, has a clear-cut profile of its own. These particular characteristics define our specific strategic objectives. On the basis of defending these interests and strategic values, Spain’s projection in the global environment is aimed at pursuing and promoting inteational stability, peace and security.
