Description

Like several States Signatories, an auxiliary seismic station installation agreement was signed on 22 May 2001 between Senegal and Mr Wolfgang Hoffmann, Executive Secretary of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO). It entered into force on 24 March 2006. In the same vein, Senegal, like all States Signatories, has access to the data of the International Data Centre (IDC) and even holds a National Data Centre offered by the CTBTO. These elements of the International Monitoring System and IDC networks are managed under the responsibility of the CTBTO, in whole or in part from the point of view of operation and availability and IT security. Often with on-site support staff for maintenance and operation, from the structure serving as a focal point. However, integrating this IT equipment and installations or operational technologies into the national register of sensitive digital assets to take them into account in a national IT security programme would allow for closer, more regular monitoring and consideration in the general budget of the structures in charge of digital technology and cybersecurity.
