Sumario:This work constitutes a documentary research on the cyber-attacks carried out in Latin America. A cyberattack defined as a cyber crime can have multiple consequences whose severity will depend on each case and the intention of the offender. The objective of the study is to determine the level of risk and preparation in cyberdefense that the region has in such a way that guidelines can be defined to combat future threats. Ultimately, we want to know how Latin America is preparing for cyber-attacks. This study constitutes a qualitative research of documentary type, not conclusive. For the development an exhaustive review of secondary sources and discussions in congresses was made for the general understanding of the topic. The different types of cyber-attacksand their level of damage were also defined. As a result, it was possible to obtain a general description of cyber-attacksin the region and the level of general defense of the countries that comprise it. The main conclusion is the deficiencies that exist in the countries of the zone with respect to defense mechanisms against cyber-attacks. This study can be used asa starting point for a specific analysis of each country and the determination of defense objectives to be implemented.
