recent partnership between GM Sectec, global leader in cybersecurity, and Visa, global leader in digital
payments, will facilitate the implementation of fraud prevention, cyber defense and cybersecurity best
practices in the Latin America and Caribbean region. Both organizations are committed to continue to
inform the financial ecosystem on the topic of cybersecurity and further support the development and
implementation of solutions to mitigate threats, safeguarding the integrity of their systems and protecting
consumers.
One of the biggest concerns for businesses and organizations of all types, sizes and industries is how to
protect the personal data and sensitive information of hundreds and thousands of users, customers and
consumers who rely on them to conduct their daily transactions through various channels and platforms,
many of them digital. The strengthening of this partnership, will allow organizations of all types across
the payment system to engage cyber defense best practices with the support of a trusted cyber defense
leader, bringing a unique support in PCI validation services, cybersecurity consulting, and fraud
prevention assessments.
Companies need to understand their true cyber risk and be able to respond quickly and efficiently to
strengthen their position.
Not only have large corporations understood that their cybersecurity systems need to be updated, but
Latin American governments have understood that cybersecurity must be regulated and become a
mandatory standard to be applied.
Cybersecurity must be a team effort involving the collaboration of persons, companies and governments.
Cybersecurity should not be an option but the norm.
