Perspectives on cybersecurity and cyber defense in Latin America

Abstract

This article presents a bibliographical review dealing with the aspect of cyber security and cyber defense in Latin American countries. It highlights the large scale that cyber-attacks currently have, the measures taken by the governments of the countries, and the prospects for improving cyber security in Latin American countries. This work is based on a systematic review of articles on aspects of cyber security and cyber defense drawn from specialized databases on computer advances and military developments. It is concluded that the large technological gap between Latin American countries compared to other countries in North America and Europe is an important factor and must be urgently reduced to avoid compromising the integrity of nations and their interests.
