Executive Summary

Latin America's cybersecurity threat landscape is rapidly evolving, with PIX payment fraud, ransomware, and targeted attacks against critical infrastructure outpacing organizational defenses. Most LATAM security teams remain reactive, leading to significant costs in downtime, data loss, and reputational damage. The region requires a shift from passive response to proactive, intelligence-led security strategies. Organizations are advised to adopt LATAM-specific threat intelligence, automation capabilities, and integrated security solutions to anticipate and prevent attacks before impact. This transition represents a fundamental change in security posture necessary to address the growing sophistication of threats targeting the region.
