In 2026, Colombia experienced over 1,200 hosting security incidents, indicating a rise in cyber threats targeting local digital infrastructure. Malware attacks remain the most common, accounting for over 3,100 detected threats, emphasizing the need for enhanced cybersecurity measures among hosting providers and users. The increase in phishing domains reflects ongoing social engineering tactics used by cybercriminals to deceive users and steal sensitive data.
Despite improvements in cybersecurity awareness, about 35% of domains still lack HTTPS encryption, exposing users to risks. The average downtime caused by security breaches is around 4.2 hours, which can impact business operations and customer trust. Continued investment in security protocols and awareness campaigns are critical for reducing incidents and protecting Colombia’s digital assets in 2026.
