Abstract
Abstract Digital transformation in Latin America has widened the attack surface, while exposing long-standing gaps in policy, capability, and data stewardship. From this perspective, we argue that the region can move from reactive cybersecurity to strategic cyber intelligence by embedding advanced analytics into an intelligence cycle that connects multisource data, governed models, and operational playbooks with clear accountability. We synthesize the demonstrated technical gains, diagnose implementation constraints, and outline a near-term agenda that includes a regional maturity index, comparative outcome studies, and decision research on explainability and bias. Thus, our position was practical. Analytics amplifies a good strategy only when governance, trustworthy data, and skilled teams are in place. This Perspective contributes a strategic analytical framework that links advanced analytics, governance, and decision-making to strengthen cyber intelligence and digital resilience in Latin America.
