The Buenos Aires City Police's cybercrime unit trained 13,000 students in 2024

Baltasar Carlos Satriano, Chief Commissioner of the Training and Resource Development Division of the Superintendency for the Fight against Cybercrime of the City Police, explained that their work focuses on prevention and investigation, with the core of their actions being cross-cutting awareness. In 2024, they trained more than 21,000 people, of whom 13,300 belong to the education sector, and he emphasized investment in training as key to responding to the challenges of digital crime.

Mara Misto Macías, Senior Information Security Manager at the BCRA, warned that in today’s digital ecosystem, it is no longer just about protecting physical networks, but also the multiple digital services interconnected in the cloud, such as software providers and the users themselves. “Today, it is no longer possible to have control over all the information being managed,” she explained, noting that this has forced a paradigm shift and the adoption of continuous monitoring.

At the Central Bank, the cybersecurity strategy now requires the commitment of top authorities, allocated budget, and preparedness to mitigate the impact of unknown events.

Lastly, Alejandra Lavore Bourg, head of a new cybersecurity laboratory at UTN La Plata, stressed the need for constant training.
