The OAS Assistant Secretary General, Albert Ramdin, called on the countries of the Hemisphere to accelerate efforts to address threats to cyber-security, while emphasizing the importance of doing so while respecting citizens’ rights and civil liberties.
Assistant Secretary General Ramdin delivered the remarks to law enforcement and security officials at the closing ceremony of the Regional Workshop on Security and Cyber-crime organized by the Government of Costa Rica with the support of the OAS and the Council of Europe, in San José, Costa Rica, from March 7-9.
“Cyber threats are a real and complex problem and our countries are not ready yet to organize and define the roles of the different institutions in case of an incident,” Said the OAS second-in-charge.
“Furthermore,” Ramdin added, “it is important to promote both a culture of cyber-security and a spirit of collaboration – among government, the private sector, and civil society - to develop and implement laws and regulations regarding this issue.”
