Synopsis

Cybersecurity has become a central element in the operation of modern digital infrastructures, particularly in academic and research environments. The rapid advancement of digital technologies expands both opportunities and risks, requiring coordinated strategic responses. This report presents a consolidated view of the main cybersecurity trends across three time horizons (short, medium, and long term), highlighting opportunities for research, development, and innovation. It also underscores structural challenges, such as the shortage of qualified professionals and the need for stronger institutional coordination in Brazil.
