Commissioner Trusty Remarks at Commercial Law Development Program in Costa Rica

Communications networks do not stop at national borders. Data flows across continents in milliseconds. Fiber-optic cables connect nations beneath the ocean. Wireless ecosystems rely on global supply chains. And increasingly, our digital economies are intertwined. Because of this, network security is not something any one country can achieve alone. Secure networks require cooperation, shared principles and trusted partnerships. This is precisely why gatherings like this one are so important. They bring together policymakers, regulators, engineers, and private-sector leaders to share experiences and develop common approaches. I commend efforts to foster cooperation that are already happening across the hemisphere.
