cyber-crimes, data protection, data security, information securityAbstract
The study of cybersecurity has generated a growing dependence on interconnected systems and networks, being a topic of constant priority. The objective was to quantify and analyze the scientific activity available regarding cybersecurity studies in the period 2020-2024. The bibliometric method was applied with a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional approach, using the PRISMA methodology to analyze 612 publications indexed in the WoS databases and with the analysis of the VOSviewer software. The results show an increase in the production of documents in the last five years as a result of collaboration networks between authors and institutions from various countries, Peru is in fifth place in productivity with 17 indexed documents, the Peruvian author with 12 citations received is Edwin Hernan Ramirez-Asis and the Pontifical Catholic University has the highest number of publications. The journal with the highest number of publications and impact belongs to IEEE Access with 131 documents and the title published with the highest number of citations of 186 belongs to the journal Nature Machine Intelligence. It is concluded that productivity and collaboration networks between researchers are occurring in an articulated manner between various countries in South America and other continents.
