Mexico Unveils 2025–2030 National Cybersecurity Plan

Officials point to escalating cyber threats, with the 2026 World Cup heightening the push for new standards and legislation.

Overview

  • The plan creates a National Cybersecurity Council that brings together government, academia and industry, with ATDT and its cybersecurity directorate designated as the federal normative and operational authorities.
  • A federal framework setting policies for public agencies is scheduled for publication in the Diario Oficial this month, with one report indicating it could appear next week.
  • ATDT intends to advance a General Cybersecurity Law to unify the legal basis for digital security, and officials suggest it could be approved next year.
  • Leaders did not provide a definitive budget for implementation, emphasizing urgency given increased risk tied to the 2026 tournament and a broader rise in attack sophistication.
  • Officials say the plan will consolidate through 2030 with international collaboration, including the International Telecommunication Union, as reporting cites Kaspersky’s estimate of about 108 million attacks a year in Mexico, 23% targeting manufacturing.
