AGUILAR, Juan Antonio Manuel. Cyber-physical Facts: AProposed Analysis for Cyber Threats in the National Cybersecurity Strategies. URVIO [online]. 2019, n.25, pp.24-40. ISSN 1390-4299.  https://doi.org/10.17141/urvio.25.2019.4007.

The article introduces the category of cyber-physical facts, a proposal for the analysis and delimitation of threats in the hybrid regime of cyberspace. Theresearch objectiveis to test the hypothesis that Latin America, and Mexico in particular, do not understand in their National Cybersecurity Strategies (NCSS) the nature of cyber-attacks, nor the possibility that a crisis arising in cyberspace will jump into the physical or material ground. To prove this, the context of cybersecurity in the region is presentedand alsoa critique of the NCSS of Mexico. Then, the article makes a comparative analysis of five cases of interest and reference in cybersecurity studies to introduce the concept of cyber-physical fact. Finally, this proposal is appliedto a case study, and its usefulness to the NCSS is shown,as well as its degree of impact in the sphere of public and national security.
