Abstract
Cyber risk refers to the dangers associated with the use of information and communication technologies, stemming from criminal activities. These risks can be perpetrated by both individuals and organizations. Many companies lack the technical knowledge necessary to effectively protect themselves against such attacks, placing them in a vulnerable position. However, adopting a proactive and resilient approach enables them to manage these risks more effectively. The objective of this study is to assess the level of cybersecurity in companies and analyze the cyber risks to which they are exposed, using an instrument called ECM2 to measure cybersecurity practices and obtain precise data for a comprehensive evaluation. Through a case study methodology, companies from different sectors and sizes were analyzed and compared, revealing that both multinational technology firms and small market service enterprises are vulnerable and face high levels of cyber risk due to deficiencies in their policies for mobile device usage.
