This chapter analyzes Brazil’s journey in consolidating a resilient digital ecosystem in the public sector, covering both the advances and challenges faced in implementing the National Digital Government Strategy (ENGD). It first addresses the varying degrees of digital maturity among government bodies and agencies, highlighting the inequalities and factors contributing to the fragmentation of the technological environment within the government. Next, it discusses the urgent need to shift from a predominantly reactive posture to a proactive approach in managing cyber risks, emphasizing the importance of a culture of prevention and continuous training of public agents. Finally, it underscores the strategic role of public technology companies, which act not only as facilitators of digital transformation but also as key players in threat identification, comprehensive risk assessments, and the consolidation of cyber protection mechanisms within the Brazilian State.
