Resumo

The former National Security Agency agent Edward Snowden uncovered evidence of US cyber espionage. Thus this study examines the geostrategy of such cyber threats. The methodology adopted entailed a qualitative approach. This way, we are able to understand that a spread of US ICT during the 20th and 21st centuries has created a global dependence on American technologies. Brazil’s failure to sufficiently develop its ICT sector could have led it to being vulnerable to cyberattacks. However, one cannot be certain that such a factor was behind the NSA surveillance issue, as evidence does not imply a causal relation.
