According to the most recent Global Cybersecurity Study, the country ranked first in Latin America in terms of the number of cyberattacks received. The report also said that Mexican companies face cybersecurity threats of two kinds: one is direct damage to their infrastructure and the second is the attack on employees (end users). In this way, criminals seek to compromise the internal networks of companies, as well as the connectivity of internal and external users, servers and business websites. **Top Strategies for Committing Online Crimes** - Email or phishing attacks. - Network attacks. - Cloud attacks. - Ransomware attacks on applications, devices, endpoints, third parties or links in the supply chain. - Social engineering through platforms such as WhatsApp, voice messages or QR codes. - Publicidad - **Challenges and opportunities** According to Ricardo Pulgarín, senior architect of Security Solutions at [Cirion Technologies](https://www.ciriontechnologies.com/es-mx/), many companies are acquiring some maturity in cybersecurity issues. However, there is a lack of deepening in terms of culture and measures to neutralize attacks. "Retraining is fundamental and must be supported by a correct implementation of cybersecurity policies and protocols. The focus should be on the operational and information security," he says. Another of Pulgarín's assessments is that although any implementation to counteract the problem requires an investment, not doing it will probably be more expensive if you receive an attack that reaches users or your own infrastructures. "It becomes essential that companies begin to have cybersecurity plans that allow them to establish policies, define the tools, controls and suitable processes that must be applied. Additionally, it is necessary for each organization to choose a strategic partner that supports it to implement this type of plan," he adds.
