2025 Cybersecurity Report: Vulnerability and Maturity Challenges to Bridging the Gaps in Latin America and the Caribbean

The digital revolution has irrevocably transformed the Americas, driving innovation, economic growth, and social connectivity. Yet, as our reliance on digital technologies deepens, so too do the risks posed by cyberthreats. Today, the Latin American and the Caribbean region face a dual challenge: seizing the opportunities of a digital future while safeguarding our societies from cybercrime, state-sponsored attacks, and threats to critical infrastructure. This latest Cybersecurity Maturity Study, developed through a strategic collaboration between the OAS CICTE, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and the Global Cyber Security Capacity Centre (GCSCC) at the University of Oxford, is a vital tool for understanding where our region stands in its cybersecurity preparedness and what steps must be taken to address existing gaps. This study builds upon previous assessments, offering an updated, evidence-based evaluation of cybersecurity capacity across OAS member states. It provides invaluable insights into how countries are progressing in key cybersecurity domains, from national strategy development to incident response and resilience-building efforts.
