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.”
