Euskadi will be able to activate LABI in the face of major cybersecurity incidents
LABI may be activated at the request of the Basque Cybersecurity Agency, Cybersurveillance, or when, due to the gravity, extent or impact of the incident, the continuity of the operation of essential services, critical infrastructures or public systems affecting public security is compromised.
Security Counselor Bingen Zupiria has warned that cyberattacks "pose a new riskto the population "as they may affect health, energy, logistics, financial or communications systems at the same time, and has highlighted the speed with which the damage is spread, the difficulty of identifying its origin, and its potential impact on public order and daily life.
LABI is a key tool in the management of emergencies in the Basque Country and establishes criteria for the coordination of organizations in the face of catastrophic situations that require an autonomous directorate. In the field of cybersecurity, its activation will be taken into account whena technical analysis involves a serious risk to the continuity of essential services due to a deliberate attack, systemic failure or emerging threats.
Among the factors to be assessed aretheloss of functionality in health, energy, transport, communications or emergencies, the risk to basic infrastructure and the impact of the incident on society or institutions. The plan will not be activated in all cases, but in cyberincidents with a significant impact on the population that generate a civil protection emergency.
Zupiria has specified that this new procedure does not imply the need to amend the Civil Protection Plan or to create new regulatory figures, butrather to use the existing organizational framework to improve inter-institutional coordination in situations of serious cyber emergency.
The measure is part of the Basque Cybersecurity Strategy (approved in March 2024) and the Strategic Plan for Cybersurveillance 2024-2029, which advocate strengthening governance and training in the faceof cyber crises. . Although the Basque Country has not suffered such an event so far, the counsellor has argued that it is necessary to have tools to anticipate, prepare and simulate in order to reduce its impact and improve response times.
