1. INTRODUCTION
New information technologies have been developing more and more, giving rise to more signicant
interaction of the internet the person, which causes a large volume of information within cyberspace,
such fact has led to the emergence of digital threats, which cause adverse eects on the lives of people
and many institutions, being victims of information theft. Often cybercriminals can not be identied
by the authorities, so States have to adapt their structures and use regulatory frameworks, strategies, or
cybersecurity policies (Nagurney & Shukla, 2017). In the region, it is possible to highlight that there are
already ten countries with a national cybersecurity policy or strategy. Recently, the Dominican Republic
and Guatemala joined the list integrated by Colombia, Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Panama, Chile,
Costa Rica, Mexico, and Paraguay (Alvarez, 2018). In the case of Peru, it could be said that it is a
country with insucient awareness in terms of digital security, risks, and protection, being one of the
countries that have legislated the least in terms of cyber defense and cybersecurity, i.e., there are no
national security strategies. Therefore, there is a need to take protective measures against malicious
attacks within both the public and private sectors (Montes, 2020).
In a comparison made in the Cybersecurity Report 2020, it can be observed that in Peru, there was no
progress since 2016 in terms of Cyber Security Policy and Strategy (National Cyber Security Strategy,
Critical Infrastructure Protection). Likewise, there is no dierence in Cyber Security Training, Capacity
Building, and Skills (Awareness Raising, Framework for Training, Framework for Professional Training).
Furthermore, no changes in Legal and Regulatory Frameworks (Criminal Justice System) were visualized.
Finally, no progress in Standards, Organizations, and Technologies (Standards Compliance, Internet
Infrastructure Resilience, Responsible Disclosure) (Cybersecurity Observatory in Latin America and the
Caribbean, 2020).
To date, after the increase of digital processes due to the state of a health emergency, it is worrying the
amount of sensitive information that is handled online and see that many of the institutions, both public
and private, do not have a policy or strategy to help neutralize the loss or deterioration of information,
