Belize's increasing digital integration has led to a rise in supply chain cyberattacks, with 45 incidents reported in 2026. The financial impact on local businesses averages around USD 150,000 per attack, highlighting the need for robust cybersecurity measures. Despite progress, only 35% of attacks are detected early, indicating room for improvement in threat detection capabilities.
The Belizean government has launched 12 new initiatives to bolster cybersecurity resilience, including targeted training and infrastructure upgrades. Around 60% of local organizations hold cybersecurity insurance, reflecting growing awareness but also exposing vulnerabilities in smaller firms. Continued investment and awareness are crucial to counteract the evolving cyber threat landscape.
