Cyberwarfare: Drops the Import Tax for network equipments

There is no lack of equipment that monitor network data processing and telecommunications that Brazil will continue to be the target of cyberattacks. The Chamber of Commerce (CAMEX) published on Friday, 13 in the Official Gazette, Resolution (No. 2 / 2012), which reduces to the 2% import duty for network equipment and data processing telecommunication.
It is equipment that allows to secure areas to monitor in real time, any denial of service attacks (DDoS) that are in progress in their networks to the adoption of countermeasures to prevent these large flows of data packets, coming from some " bootnet ", end up dropping corporate servers.
The tax incentive, however, will be valid only for new equipment. Reconditioned equipment that are imported will not have the benefit of the reduction to 2% II. The validity of this tax credit will expire on December 31 this year. Also in accordance with Resolution No. 2 of Camex, equipment benefit from the measure are the following:
