Market Growth Factors

The growth of the Latin America cyber security market can be attributed to the rising number of cyber attacks and increasing complexity of cyber crime aimed at businesses and governments․ For instance, SonicWall's 2025 Annual Cyber Threat Report cited a 259% increase in ransomware attacks and a 124% increase in IoT attacks in Latin America․ This expands the attack surface for cybercriminals and increases the need for endpoint protection solutions․ The commoditisation of ransomware toolkits enables cyber attack groups to launch high complexity attacks on critical infrastructure and repositories of sensitive data․ Enterprise countermeasures include layered defenses such as endpoint detection, immutable backups, and incident response contracts to minimize operational disruption․

Strong data laws in Latin America, such as Brazil's LGPD and Chile's Law 21․459, are also responsible for growth in the region․ Both require strong privacy protections, constant privacy operations, privacy-by-design, and quick breach notifications․ Increased regulatory requirements have encouraged investment due to high potential penalties and reputational damage to corporations for noncompliance with cybersecurity regulations․ In Brazil, Lei 14,967 came into effect in September 2024, increasing cybersecurity standards required for licenses and cybersecurity demands for security infrastructure․

Increased cloud adoption and continuing digital transformation initiatives enable enterprises to migrate applications and data to distributed hybrid cloud environments, increasing demand for cloud security and IAM solutions․ These solutions offer scalability, cost savings and flexibility, while addressing security issues raised by the increase in remote working and the number of online transactions․ The cloud security and managed security services markets are projected to grow by over 13% CAGR as organizations prefer adopting a cloud-native approach to cybersecurity․
