# Cyber Security and Information Regulation in the Dominican Republic

As the technology grows, the amount of internet penetration in the Dominican Republic has made it vulnerable to [cyber attacks](https://www.cybersecurity-insiders.com/list-of-countries-which-are-most-vulnerable-to-cyber-attacks/index.html). In order to overcome this situation, the Dominican Republic has formulated Cyber Security norms and regulations to ensure uninterrupted functioning of businesses.

We shall see how ManageEngine's OpManager satisfies the Cyber Security Regulations according to Article no. 26 as documented in the Regulation of Cybersecurity and Information. Further, we will see how OpManager's add-on Network Configuration Manager fulfills the norms in Article no. 28.

## Article 26 | Management of Information Systems

Article no. 26 in the *Cyber Security and Information Regulation in the Dominican Republic* briefs about the general standards a network monitoring solution must possess in order to achieve commendable network performance. Let us see how OpManager fits this standard.

OpManager can be integrated with [ServiceDesk Plus (SDP)](https://www.manageengine.com/network-monitoring/helpdesk-integration.html) to manage configurations through automated flows and reports. Users can proactively identify which business service or unit is most affected by an incident through the "Asset Relationship" feature in the ServiceDesk Plus CMDB.

## Article 28 | Management of Network Configurations

Article no. 28 in the *Cyber Security and Information Regulation in the Dominican Republic* briefs about the general standards a network management solution must possess in order to manage the entire life cycle of configurations.

> "Perform a 'backup' of the configurations of the devices, maintain a history, compare versions and 'upload' the changes, all from a centralized web GUI."

The Network Configuration Manager add-on backs up configurations of a large number of network devices in a very short time. It versions and stores configurations after each manual, scheduled, and automated backup. It also allows you to compare configuration versions using [Diff-View](https://www.manageengine.com/network-configuration-manager/compare-config.html).

### Excerpt 3 - Article 28
