In 2026, Cuba hosts approximately 1,250 active websites utilizing various CMS platforms, predominantly WordPress. Despite growing digital adoption, many sites face security vulnerabilities, averaging over four per site, which could expose data and disrupt services. The government and private sectors are increasingly aware of these risks, investing in security measures, but challenges remain due to resource constraints and limited cybersecurity infrastructure.
The percentage of websites with up-to-date security patches has risen to 65%, reflecting improved awareness. Nonetheless, security breaches still cause significant financial and reputational damage, with estimated costs reaching USD 2.3 million this year. Continued efforts in patch management and security awareness are crucial for strengthening Cuba's online digital ecosystem and protecting critical online services.
