LAC4 Centre’s annual flagship event revolves around building cross-regional cyber resilience that strengthens technical cybersecurity capabilities in the region. Designed for CSIRT professionals and technical experts, the conference provides a space for advancing practical skills and knowledge sharing to enhance regional resilience against evolving cyber threats. 

Agenda flows on three parallel tracks that feature a mix of hands-on workshops and interactive sessions that allow participants to engage in practical exercises and simulations as well as learn from case studies. Sessions allow participants to enhance their skills and knowledge in handling and responding to cyber incidents, share and learn from national CSIRTs and policymakers of LAC region and Europe. 

• Track 1, titled “Incident Response Bootcamp” features sessions from cybersecurity companies, preparedness and response strategies, practical insights to detection engineering and case studies from the LAC countries and Estonia. 

• Track 2, titled “Threat Hunters Unite” features sessions on redteaming, OSINT, identity theft and fraud, and malware analysis, illustrated with case studies from Argentina and Aruba. 

• Track 3, titled “Cyber Defense Engineering” and offered in collaboration with EU EL PAcCTO project, features sessions on digital forensics, threat analysis and reverse engineering. 

CyberWeek@LAC4 2025 kicks off with a plenary session that includes opening remarks by the Ambassador of the European Union to the Dominican Republic, the President of the Dominican Telecommunications Institute (INDOTEL) and the President of LAC4, followed by a high-level panel session titled “Trust on the edge: CSIRTs leading battles on bits and beliefs”. 

A side-event, the LAC4 0ct0b3rf35t takes place on 20 November to offer a platform for informal exchange of national experiences and best practices in dealing with cyber incidents in different countries.   

CyberWeek@LAC4 2025 features more than 40 speakers, sharing experiences from 20 countries and representing cybersecurity companies, public authorities, academia and think-tanks.
