DIGITAL SECURITY CHALLENGES AND STRATEGIES TO FIGHT CYBERCRIMINALITY IN PERU

Abstract

Today, cybercrime has become a pressing problem in Peru, affecting citizens, companies and governments alike. The various ways in which cybercrimes can be committed require a review of the challenges they represent to think about the security strategies that can be implemented. This research consisted of systematically reviewing documents on the web, following two selection criteria: first, documents focused on the topic of digital security; and second, information about cybercrime in Peru. Subsequently, the documents were processed through a hermeneusis that covered three dimensions: reading, explanation and translation. The initial conclusions indicate that there are three challenging elements: the digital divide, insufficient digital literacy and the slowed updating in Peru of the legislation that protects against these crimes, compared to the speed at which the threats evolve.
