The following research aims to identify and demonstrate that the State of Honduras lacks a regulation based on protecting its inhabitants in the area of cybersecurity, justifying the study to the continuous development of the new information and communication technologies that, together with the laws, must be directed to the construction of a normative body that does not give rise to any type of crime. In addition, there are some possible solutions that could lead the State to comply with the cybersecurity of the population.
