What you'll discover when you read the guide

Three facts that are changing how business leaders in Latin America think about cybersecurity.

Finding #1

Most companies in Latin America lack visibility into their active threats

73% of medium-sized companies in Central America and Latin America do not have an active SOC or continuous monitoring tools. This means that most incidents are detected days or weeks after the initial breach, when the damage has already been done.

73% without active SOC
Finding #2

The average detection time in Latin America is three times the global standard

While the global average time to detect an intrusion is 21 days, in Latin America it exceeds 63 days. Each additional day multiplies the cost of the incident: data exfiltration, persistent access, and greater reputational damage. The 50 controls in the guide are prioritized to reduce this time.

Average detection time: 63 days
Finding #3

The first 90 days of improvement have the greatest impact on risk reduction

Our experience with companies in the region shows that the first 15 basic controls in the action plan reduce the attack surface by more than 60%. The guide prioritizes actions your team can implement this week, before an incident occurs.
