The Council of Europe has recently launched a new website for the Octopus Cybercrime Community which contains a number of relevant sources, information and events on cybercrime and cybersecurity. The new redesigned website includes a new Wiki, which contains the profiles of 192 countries regarding the state of cybercrime and cybersecurity. The Wiki contains the profiles of 16 countries of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) that I drafted based on my legal and policy research and with the financial support of the Council of Europe. Among the countries whose profile I help to draft are: Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela.
I’d like to encourage country experts, policymakers, legislators, prosecutors, judges and magistrates and academics of countries of LAC to join this community and facilitate content and updated information in the field of cybercrime and cybersecurity in their own countries. International cooperation is key in the fight against cybercrime and I am confident that experts and interested parties in countries of LAC will surely benefit from this tool of the Council of Europe.
