Bolivia launches Cibersegura 2026 with Entel

Entel, together with Agetic and the ATT, launched the Bolivia Cibersegura 2026 initiative to strengthen Bolivia’s national CSIRT and improve the country’s ability to prevent and respond to digital threats, according to coverage published by Bolivia Emprende. In a later presentation shared on YouTube, company executives also described it as a reference regulatory framework for government and private entities.

What is Bolivia Cibersegura 2026 seeking to do?

Bolivia Cibersegura 2026 aims to improve incident response and serve as a reference for developing internal security policies, while also supporting the national response to digital threats. The proposal was presented by Entel together with Agetic and the ATT, signaling coordination between a telecom operator and public agencies tied to technology and regulation.

A video analysis published on August 28, 2026, includes statements from Entel executives that spell out that scope. It says the initiative is not limited to strengthening the CSIRT’s operations, but also seeks to provide a cybersecurity policy framework for institutions of different types.

What other signals appear on the regulatory and financial front?

ASFI and the IDB held an exchange on financial consumer protection that included secure product design, corporate governance, ethical use of artificial intelligence and preventive supervision to anticipate risks. At the same time, a Bolivian outlet reported that in April 2026 ASFI warned about a fraudulent platform using its name and institutional image to raise funds.

That case was presented as an example of the use of videos and voice cloning through artificial intelligence to appear legitimate. The same El Día article expanded on the problem and said the ATT recorded 16,821 complaints about possible fraud in telecommunications services between May 2023 and April 2026, along with the blocking of 10,846 mobile lines linked to illicit activity during that period.

What legal and training context accompanies these measures?

Recent regulatory filings also show moves tied to financial oversight. Lexivox recorded Supreme Decree No. 5468, dated October 1, 2025, while Pixi Legal recorded Supreme Decree No. 5693 and noted that prudential, accounting and operational regulation, along with the registration, reporting, supervision, control and follow-up of the Equity Strengthening Certificates, fall under ASFI.

The government’s announcement of 5,000 Google scholarships for young Bolivians adds another layer, with training content on cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and data analysis. That education component provides an additional framework for building local technical capacity, at a time when the country is combining prevention, financial oversight and response to digital fraud.
