What was discussed?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Cybersecurity and digital trust above all \u2014 right after Costa Rica&#39;s government was hit by massive ransomware attacks \u2014 plus 5G network security and building a security culture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why only 30 people?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. It was a restart after the 2021 gap, on a USD 500 budget funded by LACNIC.
