• Abstract:

  This article analyzes the current state of cybersecurity globally, with an emphasis on Mexico and Latin America, by comparing five recent reports: ISC2 (2024), KPMG (2024), PwC (2025), ESET (2024), and a local survey by TecNM. The findings reveal significant similarities in talent gaps, AI adoption, persistent threats such as ransomware and phishing, and regulatory challenges. Common patterns are identified that call for comprehensive cyber resilience strategies, increased investment in training, and clear policies for AI use. Collaboration across sectors and the adoption of robust security frameworks are key to mitigating risks.
