On the other hand, it offers the possibility of knowing the indicators that, in terms of cybersecurity, have greater credibility and coverage in the world today, and that allow us to know the advances-setbacks in matter, across the five continents. The document continues, after this context, seeking to explain: What relationship is there between innovation and cybersecurity in the 21st century company?
