The Organization of American States (OAS) and the Association of Banking and Financial Institutions of Colombia (ASOBANCARIA) signed an agreement today to promote cybersecurity in the region, which covers the public and private sectors and civil society.
The Secretary General of the OAS, Luis Almagro, expressed his support for the initiative and emphasize the need to take into account the challenges of threats in the world of new technologies. "We thank ASOBANCARIA for its willingness to work with the OAS General Secretariat and the Inter-American Commission against Terrorism on cybersecurity issues to help raise awareness and knowledge about the challenges and advances of digital security in Colombia's financial sector and that of Latin America," said Almagro.
For his part, the President of ASOBANCARIA, Santiago Castro, said that the agreement with the OAS will strengthen the capacity for defense against cyber attacks and added that other countries should strengthen on security in cyberspace. "In Colombia we have taken the issue of cybersecurity very seriously and that is why our Association has created the first cybersecurity response center in the financial sector in Latin America, and we hope that other countries will follow this path," Castro said.
One of the objectives of the agreement is to establish cooperation links with the private sector, to foster an open, safe and reliable digital environment throughout the region.
