    • In 2024, LACNIC strengthened cooperation with governments and authorities across Latin America to enhance Internet governance and cybersecurity.
    • This collaboration focused on training and addressing challenges like site blocking and IPv6 adoption.

    What happened: LACNIC enhances regional cooperation efforts

    In 2024, LACNIC strengthened its commitment to the region by collaborating closely with governments, regulators, judges, prosecutors, and security forces across Latin America and the Caribbean. These partnerships have been crucial for enhancing Internet governance, improving cybersecurity, and promoting a more inclusive and resilient digital ecosystem. LACNIC organised roundtables during events in Panama and Asunción and conducted workshops at the Digital Transformation and Innovation Schools in São Paulo and Port of Spain. Key discussions focused on issues such as Internet site blocking, IPv6 adoption, cybersecurity, and access to quality Internet. These interactions fostered trust between stakeholders and allowed LACNIC to better understand the unique challenges and opportunities faced by different countries. Additionally, LACNIC provided training workshops for judges, prosecutors, and police, covering Internet functionality and the implications of site blocking.

    Why it’s important

    The initiatives undertaken by LACNIC are vital for the sustainable development of Internet infrastructure in Latin America and the Caribbean. By collaborating with a diverse range of stakeholders, LACNIC not only works to secure a reliable Internet but also fosters a sense of community among officials and policymakers. This approach helps to address the pressing challenges that the region faces, such as digital inequalities and cybersecurity threats.

    As the digital landscape continues to evolve, the importance of establishing robust governance frameworks cannot be overstated. The proactive measures taken by LACNIC set a precedent for how regional organisations can effectively engage with authorities to create a safer and more equitable online environment. Furthermore, these collaborations contribute to the global dialogue on Internet governance, showcasing the region’s commitment to best practices and international standards.

    In an era where cyber threats are increasingly prevalent, LACNIC’s focus on training and capacity building equips law enforcement and regulatory bodies with the knowledge necessary to respond effectively. This not only enhances national security but also promotes public trust in digital services. The ongoing efforts of LACNIC signal a significant step towards realising a secure, open, and reliable Internet, essential for the economic and social development of the region.
