Overview

The Brazilian cybersecurity market is projected to reach US$ 3.7 billion in 2025 with an expected annual growth rate of 10.30%, resulting in an estimated market value of over US$ 6 billion by 2030. The increasing number of cyber-attacks and data breaches has made cybersecurity a top priority for the government and organizations in Brazil. As a result, the country has made significant strides in advancing its cybersecurity infrastructure, evidenced by its improved ranking in the ITU’s Global Cybersecurity Index. In addition, companies are investing more in cybersecurity solutions to protect critical digital assets and sensitive information. 

Brazil’s digital transformation accelerated its pivotal role in the global cybersecurity market. Brazilian government initiatives, such as the adoption of national cybersecurity policies and international treaties, like the Budapest Convention, have aimed to enhance the country’s cybercrime regulation and foster international cooperation.

In 20218, Brazil sanctioned the Brazilian General Data Protection Act (LGPD), with its general provisions enforced in September 2020. This law strengthens data processing, data security, and data breaches according to the user’s consent, strengthening the privacy and use of data in cloud implementations.

In December 2023, Brazil established the National Cybersecurity Policy (PNCiber) with the purpose of guiding cybersecurity activity in the country. Its core principles include national sovereignty and prioritization of national interests, the guarantee of fundamental rights, the prevention of national critical infrastructure incidents, education and development of the workforce. It also seeks international cooperation between public and private entities in matters of cybersecurity.

In 2024, Brazil’s National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) established regulations for data protection in the country, including the Security Incident Reporting Regulation, the Data Protection Officer Regulations, and the Guidelines on Legitimate Interest, while also ramping up its monitoring activities. Resolution No. 19/2024 regulates international data transfers and approves standard contractual clauses. It also brings more legal certainty to meet market needs and provides for recognition of the adequacy of countries with legislation similar to Brazil. In December 2024, ANPD published its Regulatory Agenda for 2025-2026.

Leading subsectors

Opportunities Trade Shows

U.S. cybersecurity technology has an excellent reputation in the local market. It is important to mention that numerous U.S. cybersecurity suppliers are already established in the country with proven success. To sell to the public sector or participate in public bids, U.S. firms must either have a subsidiary in Brazil or a local partner. Building strong relationships with public and private sector stakeholders is crucial for success in the market.

Global Business Navigator Chatbot Beta

Welcome to the Global Business Navigator, an artificial intelligence (AI) Chatbot from the International Trade Administration (ITA). This tool, currently in beta version testing, is designed to provide general information on the exporting process and the resources available to assist new and experienced U.S. exporters. The Chatbot, developed using Microsoft’s Azure AI services, is trained on ITA’s export-related content and aims to quickly get users the information they need. The Chatbot is intended to make the benefits of exporting more accessible by understanding non-expert language, idiomatic expressions, and foreign languages.

Limitations

As a beta product, the Chatbot is currently being tested and its responses may occasionally produce inaccurate or incomplete information. The Chatbot is trained to decline out of scope or inappropriate requests. The Chatbot’s knowledge is limited to the public information on the Export Solutions web pages of Trade.gov, which covers a wide range of topics on exporting. While it cannot provide responses specific to a company’s product or a specific foreign market, its reference pages will guide you to other relevant government resources and market research. Always double-check the Chatbot’s responses using the provided references or by visiting the Export Solutions web pages on Trade.gov. Do not use its responses as legal or professional advice. Inaccurate advice from the Chatbot would not be a defense to violating any export rules or regulations.

Privacy

The Chatbot does not collect information about users and does not use the contents of users’ chat history to learn new information. All feedback is anonymous. Please do not enter personally identifiable information (PII), sensitive, or proprietary information into the Chatbot. Your conversations will not be connected to other interactions or accounts with ITA. Conversations with the Chatbot may be reviewed to help ITA improve the tool and address harmful, illegal, or otherwise inappropriate questions.

Translation

The Chatbot supports a wide range of languages. Because the Chatbot is trained in English and responses are translated, you should verify the translation. For example, the Chatbot may have difficulty with acronyms, abbreviations, and nuances in a language other than English.
