In an increasingly computerized, globalized and competitive world, it is essential to protect personal, corporate and governmental assets and resources. Security has become a fundamental concern. Security technologies play a crucial role in protecting data, systems, networks and business assets. The city of Guayaquil faces a challenging reality in terms of business security, affecting the stability and prosperity of local businesses. In this sense, the objective of this research is to propose technological strategies to increase security in Guayaquil companies. A mixed research paradigm was used, with a focus on linking theoretical and empirical methods. Semi-structured interviews and surveys were used and official documents were consulted to obtain relevant information. The sample was selected with probability and non-probability sampling. The main limitations in the use of security technologies were obtained as results.  A technological strategy was proposed to increase the security of companies in Guayaquil. The comprehensive strategy combines the selection of advanced physical, cyber and computer security technologies, cybersecurity education, and specific measures adapted to the local needs of companies to increase business security in the city of Guayaquil.
