13 small- and medium-sized enterprises from Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru have been chosen to participate in a cybersecurity training in Lima, Peru in May 2026, organised in cooperation with the General Secretariat of the Andean Community and the Delegations of the European Union. Participants were chosen from 51 applications. 

“The strong interest from SME-s in the Andean region underlines the rowing urgency for practical and accessible cybersecurity support. As digital threats evolve, so must the resilience of businesses that drive local economies and interested in business relations with the European Union. LAC4 together with our partners remains committed to supporting SME-s in the region through targeted training and long-term collaboration that responds to their needs. Chosen SME-s demonstrate high motivation to bridge gaps in their cybersecurity vulnerabilities and take steps to strengthen their cybersecurity posture. Their application show dedication to adopt robust cybersecurity measures and we are glad to be part of supporting SME-s in turning awareness into action.” – Cesar Moline, LAC4 Regional Manager. 

“In an increasingly complex digital environment, strengthening the cybersecurity capabilities of small and medium-sized enterprises in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru is essential not only to safeguard their operations, but also to reinforce digital trust, foster innovation, and support sustainable economic growth across the region. In this context, we are confident that the companies selected to participate in this initiative with LAC4 will further enhance their capacities and resilience. The General Secretariat of the Andean Community reaffirms its commitment to continue providing SMEs in the subregion with the tools needed to compete and grow securely in international markets.” – Ambassador Gonzalo Gutiérrez, Secretary General of the Andean Community.
