Cyber Security Trending in South America
The growing volume of data and the need to protect it is driving the growth of the cyber security sector in South America. This is itself a result of the introduction of internet of things (IoT) technology, which is being integrated in more devices than ever, including smart traffic lights, and smart homes and buildings. The IoT technology faces serious threats of botnets that are internet-connected devices infected with malicious software and remotely controlled without the owner’s knowledge. As IoT is based on basic Linux and Unix systems, it is highly vulnerable, giving rise to the need for efficient cyber security solutions.
In the wake of threats from hackers and computer viruses, governments of various nations in the continent have formulated cyber security laws. For instance, the Brazilian government implemented the Green Paper on Cyber Security in 2008, the National Defense Policy and Strategy in 2012, and Marco Civil da Internet regulations in 2014.
