The number of people gaining access to Internet-connected devices in Latin America is on the rise. While the ongoing digital transformation keeps these nations competitive in the global market, it also creates opportunity for cybercrime.

This session will focus on the opportunities and challenges that come with the ongoing digital transformation of the region.

Cyber attacks against financial institutes may provoke financial instability, sectoral crisis and even war.
