Latin America. Panama will receive on October 15 and 16 at the Megapolis Convention Center of the Hard Rock Hotel in Panama City, the annual banking security congress organized by the Latin American Federation of Banks – FELABAN.
Banking security, until recently an issue related to access and surveillance of the physical environment, the custody of values and the fidelity of human resources, has been transformed by technological development into a complex and sophisticated ecosystem of physical, electronic and computer media that operate, supervise and control all these elements, in addition to customer information and financial transactions that are increasingly carried out through telecommunications, always threatened by cybercriminals.
The updating of knowledge and the exchange of experiences on these matters are of vital importance and priority for the banking administration and particularly for those who have the responsibility for security in their institutions.
On this occasion, the Latin American Federation of Banks – FELABAN, organizes an annual congress focused on these topics that will be analyzed by internationally recognized experts in conferences, round tables and seminars on innovations, best practices and vision of the future to face new challenges in the field of Banking Security:
- Security Risks and Challenges in Virtual and Digital Banking. New Models

- Security and custody of securities
- Security of the physical environment (access and surveillance)
- Data Center Security

The event is attended by more than 400 delegates from Latin American financial institutions and solution providers from around the world.
Located at the crossroads of the Americas, equidistant from the countries of the north and south of the Continent, Panama is ideal as the venue for this event.
Its status as an international financial center, in which more than 80 banks from more than 30 countries around the world operate, offers extraordinary possibilities for making business contacts. Panama is also the main hub of air connections in the region, so it has convenient daily direct and non-stop flight itineraries from most major cities in North, Central and South America and the Caribbean.
