Cyberattacks in LATAM 2024

Are Companies Prepared?

The Report by Entel Digital has revealed an alarming increase in the sophistication of cyberattacks driven by artificial intelligence in Latin America and the world in 2024. This situation has put companies in different sectors in countries such as Brazil, Mexico, Chile and Peru in check, where attackers seek to breach critical systems and exploit sensitive data of companies and their customers.

The Consequences of Digital Insecurity

Cyberattacks can have devastating consequences for organizations. The loss of confidential data, such as financial information, customer data and trade secrets, can seriously affect the competitiveness and operability of companies. Furthermore, damage to reputation is difficult to reverse: a cyberattack can erode the trust of customers and business partners, generating long-term impacts on the relationship with the market. Finally, business interruption is a reality that many companies have faced after an attack, paralyzing operations, generating significant economic losses and affecting business continuity.
