Abstract

This research aims to analyze the evolution, intellectual structure, and trends in scientific production on innovation and cybersecurity in digitized companies in Latin America using a bibliometric approach. Methods. A bibliometric analysis was performed on publications indexed in Scopus and Web of Science for the period 2015–2025. Indicators of temporal growth, authors, journals, subject areas, and collaboration networks were analyzed using normalization and visualization techniques with VOSviewer. Results. The results show exponential growth in the literature since 2020, with a coefficient of determination R² = 0.87. Scientific production is mainly concentrated in computer science and engineering, with a predominance of the English language and limited intraregional collaboration in Latin America. Co-occurrence maps identify innovation as a connecting link between cybersecurity and business resilience. Conclusion. It is concluded that innovation emerges as a key mediating variable for strengthening organizational resilience to cyber risks. However, geographical, linguistic, and funding gaps persist, limiting the contextualized development of knowledge in Latin America.
