This is largely due to the environment within which the sector operates. A combination of industry- and geography- focused regulations in the US and Europe, for example, drives cybersecurity advances through compliance obligations. In contrast, sectors such as manufacturing are still in the early stages of building a culture of cyber resilience. Resource constraints and available infrastructure further exacerbate these disparities, particularly in the public sector. The survey findings reveal that 38% of public- sector respondents perceive their resilience to be inadequate, compared to only 10% of medium-to- large organizations in the private sector.2 These dimensions of cyber inequity can also increase workforce-related challenges. Today’s global demand for cybersecurity professionals exceeds supply. While large organizations, particularly those in developed markets, are naturally well positioned to harness these scarce resources, the workforce inequity extends beyond organizational and geographic disparities. Certain sectors – such as education, government and healthcare as well as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) – are disproportionately affected by the gap of cybersecurity professionals. Driven by national institutions and centres of excellence, Brazil is making significant strides in cybersecurity maturity. To address cyber inequity, enhance resilience and secure national infrastructure, the recently established National Cybersecurity Committee (CNCiber) is developing a new National Cybersecurity Strategy (E-Ciber) and proposing a national governance body. The E-Ciber will prioritize resilience for essential services, foster intersectoral collaboration and invest in cybersecurity education, while the governance body will coordinate, regulate and monitor national cybersecurity efforts, ensuring a better security posture in the cyber ecosystem.
