Colombia Cybersecurity Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Colombia Cyber Security Market Analysis

The Colombia Cybersecurity Market size is estimated at USD 1.01 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 1.71 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 10.95% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

With the growing investments and collaborations in several technologies, such as artificial intelligence, IoT, and 5G, significant adoption by end-user industries, and the frequency of several cyberattacks and threats in the country, the Columbian cybersecurity market is expected to grow.

• In Latin America, the average data breach cost has increased in recent years owing to the rapid digitalization and adoption of advanced technologies in the region, especially in Colombia. 
• Public sector agencies such as EPM, government websites, and Northern Health Network are being targeted by ransomware attacks. In some cases, entire local governments were forced to declare a state of emergency due to massive data leaks and service loss.
• While consumer IoT devices are prime targets for attacks, the bigger concern lies in potential disruptions to manufacturing and other industrial sectors. This is driving a surge in cybersecurity solutions as companies embrace Industry 4.0 and the emergence of connected devices fueled by 5G.
• One of the major causes of growing cyberattacks is the lack of skilled cybersecurity personnel in each industry. Experienced cybersecurity professionals, especially in Latin America, are less than the number of security professionals required to handle cyber threats for financial institutions, government organizations, and private sector/industrial businesses.
• The COVID-19 pandemic impacted many sectors and industries in Colombia. According to the Ministry of Information Technologies and Communications, the adoption of remote work increased almost 400% in the first semester of 2020 compared to the previous two years. The increase led companies and people across Colombia to become more exposed and vulnerable to cyberattacks.
