ABSTRACT
eGovernment potential benefits and challenges are similar for Latin America and the European Union, although they have different levels of development. In seeking to advance in the development and application of eGovernment, Latin America has followed, as in other areas of law, the example of the European Union of cooperating among the countries of the region, agreeing on a common agenda for the development of digitization covering the provision of government services, government portals, and privacy protection. However, it can be concluded that while Latin America is focusing on expanding Internet coverage and deploying digital infrastructure, the European Union is at a point of technological development that allows it to focus its efforts on issues such as privacy protection. In the area of privacy protection, Latin America has cases of state espionage and cyber criminality coming from guerrilla groups and drug trafficking gangs that affect citizen's trust in the mechanisms used by eGovernment. This paper proposes Latin America to improve security based on its own social and economic context.
