Honduras faces a moderate increase in identity theft, with 4.2 cases per 1,000 people in 2026, reflecting escalating cyber risks. The government has allocated USD 150 million to strengthen cybersecurity infrastructure, aiming to protect citizens and businesses. Despite improvements, the rising number of data breaches—210 incidents—indicates ongoing vulnerabilities in both private and public sectors.
The average cost per data breach has risen to USD 85,000, emphasizing the financial impact on Honduran organizations. Only 28% of companies currently hold cyber insurance, highlighting a significant gap in risk mitigation strategies. Continued investment and awareness are critical to reducing identity theft and enhancing national cybersecurity resilience.
