Navigating the Intersection of Cybersecurity and AI: A Policy Dialogue for Latin America and the Caribbean
This webinar seeks to address the growing need for public policymakers to understand and navigate the complex landscape of AI-enhanced cybersecurity. By focusing on key topics such as the GCSCC's new AI Cybersecurity Readiness Metric, the reports "AI and Cybersecurity: Balancing Risks and Rewards" and "Unpacking Cyber Resilience," both developed in collaboration between the GCSCC and the World Economic Forum's Centre on Cybersecurity, the event will provide valuable insights for national policymakers to develop integrated strategies that balance the potential of AI with the necessary safeguards against cyber threats.
It will also provide a unique platform for AI and cybersecurity policymakers in LAC to interact with cutting-edge research and practical tools in the rapidly evolving field of AI cybersecurity. The OAS CICTE will foster dialogue on policy harmonization and regional cooperation with regional cybersecurity leaders to strengthen capacities in LAC to leverage AI for enhanced cybersecurity while mitigating associated risks.

GC3B 2025
The Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) and the Global Forum on Cyber Expertise (GFCE) are thrilled to officially announce that the second edition of the Global Conference on Cyber Capacity Building (GC3B) is scheduled to convene in Geneva, Switzerland on the 13 – 14 May 2025. The conference will take place at the International Conference Center Geneva (CICG).
The second iteration of the GC3B will build on the successes of its inaugural edition, which took place in November 2023 in Ghana. Responding to the need for a high-level platform that elevates discussions on cyber capacity building onto the global governance agenda, the GC3B is the first event to convene policymakers and leading experts from across the world to catalyze action for cyber resilient development. The GC3B 2025 will also build on the process of the Accra Call for Cyber Resilient Development, which is a milestone document presented at the first conference. The 2025 edition of the conference will further aid the coordination of global cyber capacity building efforts, helping unlock financial resources and improve international cooperation.
Why cyber capacity building? To ensure a free, open, and secure digital world, every country should have the resources, knowledge, and skills they need to invest in their digital future. Nations should work together and support each other with these capabilities, so that no country is left behind in their digital evolution. After all, a chain is only as strong a s the weakest link.
