COMMENTARY Dark Reading is available everywhere! Our most recent newsroom project, the introduction of a brand-new section dedicated to cybersecurity content for practitioners, cyber executives, and business owners in Latin America, is finally ready to be wrapped up after a soft launch period. Our DR Global news and analysis coverage, which already has specialized regional sections for the Asia-Pacific and Middle East & Africa (MEA) regions, has expanded significantly with this addition.

Although LatAm coverage has always been a part of Dark Reading, the new section offers something really cool: a centralized, multimedia-friendly, happy home for news coverage, features, commentary, video content, and critical analysis created especially for readers in the region.

We believe it's time: Latin America has a unique set of cybersecurity opportunities and challenges that are intensifying as it establishes itself as a center of technological innovation. Bogotá, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, and Santiago are just a few of the region's rapidly expanding tech hubs. Related: Businesses and governments are actively adopting AI, cloud, and edge computing at remarkable growth rates, along with vertical-specific tech and smart infrastructure, but oversight and trust are still lacking.

AI may replace pen testers.

Although the regional tech stack is very similar to that of the US and Canada, there are some significant distinctions as well, such as a focus on mobile devices and an acceptance of business 5G, as well as a reputation for innovative app development, particularly in FinTech. Unsurprisingly, the adversaries have followed, making cybersecurity resilience a top priority for the majority of Latin American businesses. To date, the cybersecurity press corps has criminally ignored this reality.

We invite you to take part in our new survey, which is currently live throughout the Dark Reading website, to help us shape this vision. Please let us know if you would like to see more content tailored to non-English speakers.
