Mexico has announced its first-ever national cybersecurity plan, marking a significant step toward strengthening the country's digital resilience. The plan is expected to address critical areas such as cybercrime, infrastructure protection, and the development of a coordinated national response to cyber threats, reflecting a growing recognition of cybersecurity as a national priority.
In parallel, the United States government is preparing to revisit foundational cybersecurity policies as part of a new national strategy. The forthcoming U.S. strategy reportedly includes executive actions targeting cybercrime and ransomware, as well as an offensive component aimed at preemptively disrupting foreign adversaries' hacking operations. Both countries are signaling a shift toward more proactive and comprehensive approaches to national cybersecurity.

Mexico unveiled its first National Cybersecurity Plan, signaling a coordinated national effort to strengthen digital resilience, improve cyber defenses, and protect critical infrastructure and digital assets from growing cyber threats.
The Trump administration began developing a new national cyber strategy that includes both defensive measures and an offensive 'preemptive erosion' approach intended to disrupt foreign adversaries' hacking operations before attacks are carried out. The effort also includes preparation of executive actions focused on cybercrime and ransomware.

Mexico has introduced a new national cybersecurity plan as the country faces sustained pressure from financial malware, fraud, data theft, hacktivism, and organized cybercrime. Recorded Future’s Insikt Group said Mexico ranks among the top five countries globally for infostealer victims and is also one of Latin America’s leading source countries for stolen payment cards, with threats including **AsyncRAT**, **DanaBot**, **KV-Botnet**, **Mispadu**, **Grandoreiro**, and **Casabaneiro** affecting users and institutions. The threat picture also includes extensive dark web activity and politically charged intrusions. Researchers identified nearly 500 references to cyberattacks targeting Mexico between 2020 and April 2026, alongside notable leaks involving journalist data from the presidential press system and intermediary credentials tied to the **CNSF**. Hacktivist actors such as **Chronus Team** and **Guacamaya** were highlighted as influential, while the government’s plan prioritizes critical infrastructure protection ahead of the **2026 FIFA World Cup** and public awareness on phishing, social engineering, deepfakes, and safer digital financial practices.

The Trump administration is preparing to release a new national cybersecurity strategy, with a focus on strengthening partnerships with U.S. industry and regional foreign governments to protect critical infrastructure and networks from cyberthreats. The strategy emphasizes real-time threat detection, attribution, and response capabilities, as well as deregulation to boost competitiveness and innovation in the American technology sector. The broader national security strategy, recently published, highlights the importance of collaboration with the private sector and regional partners, particularly in the Western Hemisphere, and outlines goals for resilient energy infrastructure and secure cyber communications. A draft of the forthcoming national cybersecurity strategy is expected to be released in January and will consist of six pillars: cyber offense and deterrence, regulatory alignment, workforce development, federal procurement, critical infrastructure protection, and emerging technologies. The document is described as concise but wide-ranging, addressing issues such as cybercrime, China, artificial intelligence, and post-quantum cryptography. The administration is actively seeking feedback on the draft, and the strategy is expected to be followed by an executive order to implement its provisions.

The U.S. government is preparing to release a new National Cyber Strategy aimed at deterring foreign cyber adversaries and strengthening public-private collaboration. National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross announced at the Aspen Cyber Summit that the strategy will be concise, actionable, and structured around six pillars, including shaping adversary behavior and enhancing industry partnerships. The strategy intends to move beyond traditional defensive measures by introducing clear costs and consequences for malicious cyber activity targeting U.S. critical infrastructure, reflecting a shift toward a more offensive and coordinated national approach. Officials highlighted that the new strategy will differ from previous versions by focusing on rapid implementation of action items and deliverables, rather than lengthy policy documents. The approach seeks to address the fragmented nature of current U.S. cyber responses by establishing a unified, government-wide framework. The strategy is currently under review by federal agencies, with input from the FBI and private sector leaders, and is expected to be released soon. The administration aims to modernize federal cyber capabilities, accelerate technology adoption, and send a strong deterrent signal to both nation-state and criminal cyber actors.
