Mexico stands out in cybersecurity due to increase in attacks

During the first half of the year, Mexico has established itself as one of the countries with the highest cyber activity in the world. According to a report by FortiGuard Labs from Fortinet, our country accounts for nearly 25% of global threat detections, ranking third in Latin America in terms of incident volume.

These figures show a worrying trend: cybercriminals are refining their methods and using advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) to carry out more sophisticated attacks.

This makes Mexico a clear example of why it is urgent to strengthen digital protection strategies.

Evolution of digital attacks in Mexico

The increase in threats is not only due to increased connectivity, but also to the use of more complex tools by attackers.

Criminals no longer seek to force access to systems, but rather to infiltrate them using social engineering techniques and credential theft through malware or personalized emails.

Security experts point out that the most effective defense is based on integrated systems that function as a single ecosystem, where each component strengthens the other. In this sense, having specialized advice is key to anticipating threats and not just reacting to them.

Mexico stands out in cybersecurity for its response capacity

Once inside the systems, attackers move stealthily, searching for valuable information or installing malicious programs. These types of threats directly affect all productive sectors of the country.

In addition, cybercriminals often camouflage their activities as normal internet traffic, making them difficult to detect.

Therefore, it is recommended to implement automated processes and total network visibility, allowing for quick action in the event of any irregularities. This must be complemented by multidisciplinary collaboration, beyond the IT area, to ensure coordinated responses to security incidents.

Towards comprehensive cybersecurity in Mexico

To strengthen information protection, it is necessary to establish immediate response protocols, periodic drills, and a solid cybersecurity structure. In addition, the use of real-time intelligence platforms helps transform incidents into opportunities to improve the digital security of organizations.

In conclusion, Mexico stands out in cybersecurity not only because of the volume of attacks it faces, but also because of the opportunity it has to become a benchmark in preventive strategies and technological collaboration.
