Dependency theory revolves around the understanding of economic underdevelopment and resource flows. Latin American countries, particularly Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia, are currently in a situation where underdevelopment can be linked to a lack of structural, institutional, and technical change. This dissertation analyzes the implications of cybersecurity for Latin American countries as more advanced countries look to restructure their economies, driven primarily by the introduction of foreign technology. This research examines if a dependency on foreign technology and the limitations in transferring technical knowledge have weakened Latin American countries to the point where a cybersecurity threat may exist for the region and the United States. Cybersecurity is a concern for all countries because it is borderless, and all countries should address the possibility that they will be the target of malicious actors. The geopolitical interest of countries like Russia, China, and even the European Union in Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia should be a factor that drives more United States involvement in multilateral and technical mechanisms with these countries. The United States can assist these Latin American countries and partners by helping them strengthen their socioeconomic status and cybersecurity capabilities.The analysis displayed foreign technology's role in Latin American countries. The hidden dangers of Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia's weakened cyberinfrastructure can be a direct route for nation-state threat actors to exploit this weakness and attack these countries directly, but also use it to attack the region and, potentially, the United States' cyberinfrastructure. In a world dominated by transformations brought about by technology, Latin America's dependency on foreign technology has driven their economies to become more reliant on foreign investors, which has created several challenges, including the lack of local technological development, a skills gap in the workforce, and limited control over the local technical infrastructure.
