Construcción de un ecosistema de confianza y seguridad digital

Resumen

[Purpose] To analyze the current state of cybersecurity and data protection in Latin America and the Caribbean, aiming to propose strategic guidelines for developing a reliable digital ecosystem.

[Methodology] The study is based on a comparative survey of public policies and regulatory frameworks in 33 countries of the region, along with expert interviews and a review of international literature. An institutional maturity approach was applied to classify development levels.

[Findings] The region has made progress in data protection frameworks, with regulations in more than 20 countries, while national cybersecurity strategies show heterogeneity and deficiencies in technical capabilities and inter-institutional coordination.

[Practical Implications] The findings guide governments, multilateral organizations, and the private sector toward priority actions: institutional strengthening, regional cooperation, promotion of digital culture, and building trust in the digital economy.

[Originality / Value] This is the first regional study to systematically compare advances in cybersecurity and data protection, proposing a framework to measure maturity and guide public action in Latin America and the Caribbean.
