Felipe Holanda Ribeiro, Uilson Souza, Marcelo Assumpcao and Juan Pablo Sorensen discuss regulation's role in strengthening infrastructure security, adapting frameworks like NIS2 and balancing compliance with substantive outcomes.

Latin America's critical infrastructure operators navigate a complex regulatory landscape where national frameworks vary widely in maturity and enforcement. As organizations look to international standards like NIS2 and CISA guidelines for direction, a fundamental question emerges: does increased regulation drive meaningful security improvements, or does compliance create a false sense of protection that obscures real vulnerabilities?

In this insightful discussion, the panel of experts will share insights on:

  • The role of national governments and international standards in strengthening critical infrastructure security across Latin America;
  • Whether frameworks like NIS2 and CISA provide appropriate baselines for regional organizations, and how to adapt them effectively;
  • Balancing regulatory compliance with substantive security outcomes to avoid checkbox approaches that fail to address operational risks.
