Cyber Resilience in Latin America and the Caribbean

Special Report: Cyber Resilience in Latin America and the Caribbean

Based on the Global Security Outlook 2026 by the World Economic Forum

Cybersecurity continues to be one of the most critical challenges for organizations and governments worldwide. The Global Security Outlook 2026, published by the World Economic Forum, provides valuable insights into the evolving threat landscape and the level of cyber-resilience across different regions.

For Latin America and the Caribbean, the report highlights several structural challenges that affect the region’s ability to respond effectively to cyber threats. Among them are limited investment in cybersecurity, shortages of specialized talent, and growing exposure to increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks.

The report also points out that many organizations in the region are still in the early stages of developing comprehensive cyber-resilience strategies. While awareness of cybersecurity risks has increased significantly in recent years, there is still a gap between recognizing these risks and implementing effective protection and response mechanisms.

Another important aspect emphasized in the report is the need for stronger public-private collaboration. Governments, private sector organizations and technology providers must work together to build more resilient digital ecosystems and improve collective response capabilities.

In addition, the report stresses the importance of adopting international cybersecurity standards, risk management frameworks and incident response strategies to strengthen institutional and organizational resilience.

For companies operating in Latin America, strengthening cybersecurity capabilities is no longer optional. As digital transformation accelerates, cyber threats continue to evolve, making it essential for organizations to invest in prevention, detection and response strategies.

Understanding the trends and insights presented in the Global Security Outlook 2026 is an important step toward building a stronger and more resilient cybersecurity posture across the region.
