In Brazil, it has gained prominence with the rise of cybersecurity concerns and digital transformation initiatives, particularly in the financial and technology sectors. In the USA, it originated in cybersecurity but has expanded into marketing analytics. Both regions increasingly use the English term directly in technical documentation, though Portuguese translations are used in client-facing communications.
