Experts from the Latin American NRENs discussed the challenges of protecting  critical information infrastructures in the region and how these networks are overcoming them, in an event supported by RedCLARA and attended by its Services Manager, Carlos Gonzalez.

Information security has become an important aspect within organizations, especially those that enable digital transformation, such as the National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) in the region, and therefore having services such as a SOC (Security Operations Center) that allow them to offer support to their communities has become a key issue.

As October draws to a close, so do the activities of the Cybersecurity Month: Become a Cyberhero promoted by the pan-European advanced network GÉANT and supported by RedCLARA, to inform its community and NRENs around the world about issues such as online privacy, phishing, social engineering, ransomware and cyber incidents in general. In 2023, the month of activities was supported by the Latin America and Caribbean regional network for simultaneous translation into Spanish and Portuguese of the weekly talks given by security experts from the industry and the wider GÉANT community, extending knowledge sharing and learning opportunities to other audiences.

As part of a week of activities focused on strengthening science, technology, innovation, and cooperation organized by RedCLARA in Panama City, the third Open Strategic Dialogue of the BELLA II project will be held on November 15.

The role of RedCLARA and the NRENs in promoting science, technology, and innovation, and the importance of the BELLA II project in strengthening and consolidating a “human-centered” digital ecosystem in Latin America and the Caribbean were the main  topics of the Webinar “Connectivity with Meaning: RedCLARA and advanced networks for STI”, held this Thursday, October 26, as part  of the webinar series on Inclusion, Science, and Democracy, promoted by ISEED.

With the participation of more than 40 people, including representatives of public and private institutions, universities, and researchers involved in the use of geospatial data, the workshop "Application and Processing of Copernicus data" was held on October 19 in Montevideo, Uruguay.
