<p style="font-weight: 400;">Cybersecurity has established itself as a strategic field within global scientific research, driven by the growing impact of digital risks on economies, societies, and institutional systems. Despite sustained growth in academic output, significant inequalities persist across regions, particularly among developing countries in the Americas. This study analyzes 79 publications indexed in Scopus to describe how this field is taking shape: who is conducting research, with whom they collaborate, and on what specific problems. The analysis is organized into three levels. At the international level, it examines publication trends, co-authorship patterns, and the thematic clusters that account for the majority of citations. Building on this, the study reviews the contribution of developing countries in the Americas, comparing their relative weight within the broader scientific system. Finally, it delves into the case of Ecuador, examining its major publications, the collaborative networks in which its authors participate, and the research areas that appear to be emerging or still underdeveloped. The results reveal patterns of thematic convergence and divergence among regions, as well as critical research gaps in the Latin American context. This bibliometric analysis provides useful evidence to shape regional scientific agendas, strengthen international collaboration, and guide future research toward strategically relevant but still under-explored areas in the field of cybersecurity.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Educational management is a strategic factor in promoting a favorable work environment and strengthening institutional development. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of educational management on the teaching work environment at an educational institution in the province of Cañar, Ecuador. The research employed a quantitative approach, with a descriptive-correlational scope and a non-experimental cross-sectional design. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire with a Likert-type scale, administered to 50 teachers. The instrument was validated through expert review and demonstrated adequate internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.87). The results revealed weaknesses in participatory leadership, institutional communication, collaborative work, and a sense of belonging—aspects that affect the organizational climate and the well-being of the teaching staff. Furthermore, it was found that limited teacher participation in decision-making and deficiencies in communication processes hinder the consolidation of an institutional culture oriented toward continuous improvement and the strengthening of labor relations. It is concluded that educational management grounded in participatory leadership, effective communication, and human talent development significantly enhances the teaching work environment. As a contribution of this research, an intervention proposal was designed to strengthen institutional management through strategies focused on leadership, communication, collaborative work, and professional recognition, with the aim of improving the organizational climate and contributing to higher-quality education.</p>
