2016 Cybersecurity Report Data Set

By Innovation in Citizen Services Division (VPS/IFD/ICS)

Cybersecurity Dataset: Are We Ready in Latin America and the Caribbean? (2016)

This dataset supports the 2016 Cybersecurity Report, Are We Ready in Latin America and the Caribbean?, produced by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), Organization of American States (OAS), and Global Cyber Security Capacity Centre (GCSCC) at Oxford.

Data were collected via an online survey using the Cybersecurity Capability Maturity Model (CMM), developed by the GCSCC. The survey was translated into English and Spanish. Following a pilot phase, it was administered to a diverse group of national stakeholders across 32 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The responses were aggregated, reviewed, cleaned, and supplemented with additional information from external sources to ensure completeness and accuracy.

Data notes

The data was analyzed using the 49 CMM indicators which are divided into five dimensions: i) National Cybersecurity Policy and Strategy (Policy and Strategy); ii) Cyber Culture and Society (Culture and Society); iii) Cybersecurity Education, Training and Skills (Education); iv) Legal and Regulatory Frameworks (Legal Frameworks); and v) Standards, Organizations and Technologies (Technologies). Each dimension has multiple factors which contribute towards a more mature state of cybersecurity capacity. Each factor then has several levels of indicators that describe a state of maturity (Startup, Formative, Established, Strategic and Dynamic). The different levels of maturity listed prompt the respondent to select the level that is most applicable to the experience of cybersecurity in the country. The results of the analysis were then sent to each country for validation. For more details please review the “Appendix: Detailed Methodological Framework” included in the 2016 Cybersecurity Report.
