Day 1 of Andean Region SME Training: Building Foundations for Cyber Resilience
First day of the cybersecurity training for Andean region small- and medium enterprises focused on building foundations and understanding of cyber resilience, understanding cyber risks and discussing cyber risk management.
First day started with an introduction to information security and growing impact of cybercrime on businesses worldwide. Participants learned how cyberattacks and threat landscape have evolved in recent years, particularly in Latin America, where social engineering, malware attacks and fraud through remote access tools are among the most common threats. Experts highlighted also how artificial intelligence has changed the economics of cybercrime by making attacks faster, cheaper and more scalable along with strengthening defensive AI capabilities. Presentations and discussions underscored the increasing threat enabling role of human behavior in cybersecurity like processing sensitive business data with AI or falling for phishing attempts.
Participants were explained the importance of cybersecurity evaluation and why organisations must regularly assess their cybersecurity posture. Session focused on highlighting cybersecurity not only as a technical issue, but also as a business aspect that affects operations, trust and sustainability. Experts discussed also the results of MASS self-evaluation tool to help participants understand the gaps and offering comparison with other businesses. A key takeaway from the discussions was that cybersecurity itself cannot be measured or proven whereas organisations can evaluate the safeguards, controls and processes they have put in place to become more cybersecure.
First day also explored cybersecurity management standards and their roles in establishing cybersecurity requirements for organisations, supply chains and regulatory compliance. Participants examined how standards contribute to safer digital operations, increased trust and stronger risk management. While experts introduced different approaches to cybersecurity risk management, like baseline security controls or risk-based methodologies and frameworks, they stressed that there is no single “perfect” standard and that businesses must adapt security framework to their own operational needs and risks.
Day concluded with a practical group exercise where participants discussed main cybersecurity challenges SME face and reasons to invest in cybersecurity measures. Participants exchanged experiences and identified practical ways to improve cybersecurity awareness and preparedness within their organisations.
Training, conducted by EU CyberNet experts Mari Seeba and Milena Patiño Villa, is organised cooperation with the General Secretariat of the Andean Community and the Delegations of the European Union to Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. Training takes place from 11 to 13 May in Lima, Peru.
The 4th edition of Her CyberTracks initiative concluded in Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic with a five day workshop taking place from 17 to 21 August 2026, bringing together 17 participants from 12 countries to improve their cybersecurity incident response skills and knowledge.
The 4th edition of Her CyberTracks initiative, co-organised by LAC4 and partners continues with Her CyberTracks: Women in CyberTech Camp@LAC4 this week in LAC4 Centre in Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic. Taking place from 17 to 21 August 2026, it brings together 17 participants from 12 countries to improve their cybersecurity incident response skills and knowledge.
LAC4 in cooperation with EU CyberNet participated in the EU-LAC Digital Alliance technical exchange visit on cybersecurity and secure connectivity in Central America and the Cybersec Summit 2026, held in San José, Costa Rica on 11-12 August 2026.
The 12th members-only seminar, organised in partnership with Palo Alto Networks and titled “Project Glasswing & the Frontier of AI — The New Approach to Security” took place on Wednesday, 12th August, bringing together 147 stakeholders and decision-makers from LAC4 member countries.
