The government of Costa Rica, with the support of the Secretariat of the Inter-American Committee against Terrorism (CICTE) of the Organization of American States (OAS) and the Council of Europe, will organize a Regional Workshop on Cybersecurity and Cybercrime from March 7-9 in the Costa Rican capital. The president of Costa Rica and the OAS Assistant Secretary General will preside over the closing ceremony.
The event, which will feature participation of representatives from Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, and Venezuela, aims to strengthen policies, strategies, and laws related to cybersecurity and cybercrime.
