Companies modernize defenses as threats grow, cloud migration and regulation increase complexity, ISG Provider Lens® report says

SÃO PAULO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Enterprises in Brazil are increasing investments in cybersecurity as both attacks and defensive technologies grow more sophisticated, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group () (Nasdaq: ), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm.

The 2025 ISG Provider Lens® Cybersecurity � Services and Solutions report for Brazil finds growing concern about the cost of data breaches in terms of downtime, damage to brand reputation and potential fines and lawsuits. In Brazil, costs have risen with the increasing complexity of responding to incidents, especially for companies with a shortage of skilled labor. Enterprises also face the growing challenge of complying with the country’s General Data Protection Law (LGPD), which sets strict requirements for collecting, storing, processing and sharing personal data.

“Cybersecurity is crucial for business resilience and growth,� said Doug Saylors, partner and leader of ISG Cybersecurity. “Brazilian companies are transforming their security strategies for evolving technology and regulation, often with the help of service providers.�

Enterprises in Brazil are increasingly using AI to strengthen their defenses, while AI adoption also presents new challenges in areas such as privacy, the report says. Cybersecurity systems enhanced with AI and ML allow companies to analyze large volumes of security data, including system logs, network alerts and threat intelligence information, in real time. They can accelerate malware detection, automate incident response and orchestrate actions among security tools. By reducing false positives, AI can free overburdened security teams to focus on real threats.

Brazilian companies are also beginning to adopt zero trust architecture, which requires continual verification of users even within an enterprise’s network, ISG says. This architecture is quickly becoming a de facto standard, but many Brazilian companies need to modernize their systems to implement the essential tools of zero trust, such as identity and access management (IAM).

Brazil is activating collaboration among enterprises, suppliers, government agencies and academic institutions to strengthen its national cybersecurity posture, ISG says. Several initiatives, including the National Cybersecurity Strategy (E-Ciber), established in 2020, facilitate threat information sharing and coordinate incident responses among the public sector and those managing critical infrastructure.

The global shortage of cybersecurity talent is especially acute in Brazil, with an estimated shortfall of 750,000 qualified information security professionals, the report says. To fill essential roles in areas such as cloud security and incident response, many firms are turning to service providers.

“Hybrid cloud and multicloud IT environments increase the complexity of cybersecurity, while the growing use of AI is creating new challenges for data protection,� said João Mauro, lead analyst, ISG Provider Lens Research, and lead author of the report. “Providers can mitigate the need to constantly attract and retain specialized security staff.�

The report also explores other cybersecurity trends affecting enterprises in Brazil, including the growing importance of security service edge (SSE) solutions, and surveys the market for extended detection and response (XDR) both globally and in Brazil.
