Brazil — Cyber Threat Profile
Brazil operates one of Latin America's most mature cybersecurity ecosystems, driven by its large digital economy and critical infrastructure footprint. National cyber strategy prioritizes financial system security, energy grid resilience, and protection of government networks. The country faces persistent cybercrime activity alongside periodic state-sponsored espionage targeting industrial, defense, and research sectors. Federal cyber authorities coordinate national defense through regulatory oversight, incident response frameworks, and public-private intelligence sharing. Continued investment in cyber innovation, workforce development, and international cooperation reinforces Brazil's regional cyber leadership.- National CERT/CSIRT: CERT.br
