Recent statistics show that Mexico has become a hackers’ playground. Cases such as Banorte and Liverpool clients’ personal information theft are indicators that information security professionals need to take a more proactive and defensive approach towards cyber security. Through my experience and research, I would like to undertake a step to improve policies that help regulate how this issues are approached towards a more effective risk management perspective while understanding criminal behaviour to be able to provide countermeasures, awareness, and incident response in order to build more resilient industry and critical infrastructures standards that can lead to improvement of national security.
