In the Americas, the development of National Cybersecurity Strategies has been done through the coordination and facilitation of national round table discussions focused on the identification of challenges facing local actors and solutions that can be implemented at a national level in collaboration with the Government. This open forum will explore this methodology and the involvement of all relevant actors in the development and implementation of national strategies. The OAS has successfully assisted since 2011 the development and approval of the national cybersecurity strategies in Colombia, Jamaica, Panama and Trinidad and Tobago and more recently in 2017, Chile and Paraguay. Currently, the OAS Cybersecurity Program is actively providing support to Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Mexico and Guatemala in the development of their national cybersecurity strategy.
The expected outcome is knowledge sharing with the participants on the approach taken by the OAS and to engage different stakeholders on how they can apply this approach in their region to ensure sustainability in the implementation of these national strategies.
