Excerpt from our interview with El Universal

Today, millions of companies face growing vulnerabilities as cybercriminals become more sophisticated. One of the most common and damaging threats is ransomware—malicious software that locks access to systems or data until a ransom is paid. According to Neverhack, a leading cybersecurity firm, Mexico ranks among the top countries experiencing frequent ransomware attacks.

"The lack of infrastructure and specialized personnel is one of the biggest challenges for businesses in the region," explains César Cidraque, Sales Director for Iberia & Latam at Neverhack. Understanding your digital vulnerabilities is essential to reducing damage in the event of an attack.

Industries most affected include industrial, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, and especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). A ransomware attack can bring operations to a halt, cutting revenue while forcing companies to invest heavily in damage control.

AI: A New Cybersecurity Challenge

While artificial intelligence (AI) brings innovation and efficiency to many sectors, it’s also becoming a significant threat. By 2027, an estimated 17% of cyberattacks will involve AI, making them more sophisticated and harder to detect, according to Cidraque.

This evolving landscape demands new defensive strategies. Companies must invest in both technology and talent development to build resilience against these advanced threats.
