💥Cybersecurity Under Siege: How Ransomware and Digital Threats Are Shaping Latin America’s 2024 Risk Landscape

In the first months of 2024, Latin America has seen an alarming surge in cyberattacks targeting both public institutions and private organizations. Countries like Colombia, Chile, and Mexico are facing a wave of ransomware attacks, DDoS campaigns, and data breaches. These are not isolated events they signal a broader regional vulnerability that demands urgent attention.

While some attacks appear politically motivated, such as those targeting governmental portals or electoral bodies, others are purely financially driven, exploiting companies’ lack of preparedness. Unfortunately, this trend is only expected to grow as threat actors increasingly automate and professionalize their operations.

Why is Latin America being targeted?

• Weak cybersecurity infrastructure in public and private sectors
• Lack of awareness and training
• Limited investment in proactive cybersecurity solutions
