Cybersecurity education expansion in Mexico and Colombia

Overview

Technical education and cybersecurity training are expanding across Mexico and Colombia. In Mexico, the Universidad Politécnica de Yucatán (UPY) recently graduated its first cohort of 22 cybersecurity specialists, a move intended to address regional demand for digital security talent.

Building on these educational developments, Colombia has introduced ‘Ciberseguridad 360’, a free virtual program launched by the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology (MinTIC) and ColCERT. The 40-hour curriculum provides training in cryptography, digital forensics, and penetration testing for adults and public sector personnel using simulated incident response dynamics.
