description The article introduces the category of cyber-physical facts, a proposal for the analysis and delimitation of threats in the hybrid regime of cyberspace. The research objective is 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 presented and also a 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 applied to 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.

The article introduces the category of cyber-physical facts, a proposal for the analysis and delimitation of threats in the hybrid regime of cyberspace. The research objective is 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 presented and also a critique of the NCSS of Mexico.

El artículo presenta la categoría de hechos ciberfísicos, una propuesta para el análisis y la delimitación de amenazas en el régimen híbrido del ciberespacio. Se propone la hipótesis de que América Latina, y en particular México, no comprenden en sus Estrategias Nacionales de Ciberseguridad (ENCS) la naturaleza de las ciberagresiones ni la posibilidad de que una crisis surgida en el ciberespacio salte al espacio físico o material. Para probarla se presenta el contexto de la ciberseguridad en la región y se realiza una crítica de la ENCS de México. Después se hace un análisis comparativo de cinco casos de interés y referencia entre los estudios de ciberseguridad, para introducir el concepto de hecho ciberfísico. Por último, se aplica la propuesta a un estudio de caso y se muestra su utilidad para las ENCS, así como su grado de impacto en la esfera de la seguridad pública y nacional.  Abstract The article introduces the category of cyber-physical facts, a proposal for the analysis and delimitation of threats in the hybrid regime of cyberspace.

O artigo apresenta a categoria de fatos ciberfísicos, uma proposta de análise e delimitação de ameaças cibernéticas no regime híbrido do ciberespaço. O objetivo da pesquisa é testar a hipótese de que a América Latina e, em particular México, não entendem em suas Estratégias Nacionais de Segurança Cibernética (ENSC), a natureza dos ataques cibernéticos, nem a possibilidade de que uma crise no ciberespaço salte para o espaço físico ou material. Para provar essa hipótese, se apresenta o contexto da segurança cibernética na região e uma crítica ao ENCS do México. Em seguida, é feita uma análise comparativa de cinco casos de interesse e referência entre estudos de cibersegurança para introduzir o conceito de fato ciberfísico. Por último, a proposta é aplicada a um estudo de caso, sua utilidade para as ENSC é demonstrada e seu grau de impacto no âmbito da segurança pública e nacional.
