Seguridad Cibernética: Estudio Comparativo del sistema jurídico de la República del Ecuador, Colombia, Chile y Argentina

Abstract

The present research paper focuses on evaluating the legal structure of cybersecurity in Ecuador, contrasted with the legal frameworks of Colombia, Chile, and Argentina. Through an exhaustive analysis, gaps and areas for improvement were identified in Ecuadorian legislation, highlighting the need for greater clarity and specificity in regulations, as well as special attention to sanctions and preventive measures. The importance of examining and learning from the laws of other countries in the same hemisphere is highlighted to give a better picture to the legislation in Ecuador. Specific objectives included analyzing and comparing the laws, regulations, and policies in the cybersecurity legal framework of the aforementioned countries, evaluating the effectiveness and applicability of legal provisions, and proposing specific recommendations to strengthen the cybersecurity legal framework in Ecuador. The importance of strengthening and working together to provide an effective solution to cybercrimes was emphasized, considering sharing information with resources, thus improving response capabilities and collaboration in the face of cyber risks. As a result, specific recommendations were formulated with the aim of contributing to the legal framework of cybersecurity in Ecuador. In addition to the aforenoted, the most effective practices identified in Colombia, Chile, and Argentina will be considered. These suggestions seek to address the identified deficiencies and offer a more solid and adaptable legal framework, improving the effectiveness of legal provisions in Ecuador. In summary, the study highlights the importance of strengthening the cybersecurity legal framework in Ecuador to enhance the country's capacity in the face of challenges in this field, considering the experiences and successful approaches of other countries in the region
