Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Análisis bibliométricos de la producción científica de las universidades ecuatorianas en Scopus aplicando herramientas de computación estadística y redes complejas(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Solís Segarra, Diego Andrés; Álvarez Llomoza, Orlando; 0105818561This research examines the evolution of scientific production and collaboration in Ecuadorian universities between 1920 and 2024, based on information from Scopus. The main objective was to examine how the country’s academic cooperation network is structured and its impact on international visibility. To achieve this, nearly sixty thousand Ecuador-related publications were collected and underwent a thorough process of cleansing and standardization of institutional names. Subsequently, co-authorship graphs were constructed, where universities were represented as nodes and shared publications were represented as links. Using complex network metrics (degree, collaboration intensity, centrality, and modularity), both the internal structure of the system and its connections with foreign institutions were characterized. The results show that, although scientific production remained marginal for much of the 20th century, a turning point occurred in 2011, leading to accelerated growth, with more than 5,000 publications per year since 2019. Sixty Ecuadorian universities were identified as active in the network, connected to more than 2,500 foreign institutions and generating approximately 21,000 links. The University of San Francisco in Quito has consolidated its position as the central hub, while the University of Cuenca and ESPE hold secondary positions. At the national level, a small number of universities account for the majority of collaborations; internationally, alliances with prestigious strategic partners such as the University of Wah and the Federal University of ABC stand out. In conclusion, Ecuador has transitioned from marginal participation to a significant presence in the global scientific community. However, this transformation is characterized by an intense concentration in a few leading universities, posing the challenge of expanding the participation of peripheral institutions in order to establish a more inclusive, balanced, and sustainable scientific system over time.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Impacto de la inteligencia artificial en el Pentesting Empresarial, análisis mediante técnicas de ingeniería social y herramientas generativas(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Barreiro Molina , Franklin David; Cuenca Tapia , Juan Pablo; 1600662587The increasing sophistication of cyberattacks and their social engineering and ransomware variants has made it imperative to review organizational cyber defenses. Therefore, this research investigates the effect of using generative artificial intelligence tools, such as ChatGPT, in penetration tests focused on exploiting human vulnerabilities. This case study was conducted with the company Casystem, located in Cuenca, Ecuador, by comparing two groups of simulated phishing campaigns: one traditional and one assisted by artificial intelligence. A mixed-method approach was applied with quantitative and qualitative analysis focusing on click-through rate, credential presentation, response time, and human risk index (HRI) metrics. The results show that in the AI-assisted campaign the human risk index (HRI) was 53.3% while the traditional approach yielded 13.3% illustrating that AI-generated content was much more persuasive. Ethical and legal risks were also observed arising from the unregulated corporate framework in the use of these tools.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Aguilar Coronel, Christian Fernando; Cuenca Tapia , Juan Pablo; 0103997755Item type: Ítem , Access status: Embargo , Proyecto de Titulación embargado con fines de publicación de impacto.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Heras Mendieta, Jonnathan Paúl; Poma Japón, Diana Ximena; 0104567045Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Desarrollo de un prototipo de software para la gestión de la inmobiliaria INMOCAÑARI(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2025) Mendoza Lema, Cristian Rodrigo; Campoverde Molina , Milton; 0301626487The real estate company Inmocañari in Azogues, province of Cañar, faces significant limitations in managing properties, clients, and transactions due to manual and rudimentary methods to register and manage such information in addition to its activities. Therefore, this research focuses on developing a software prototype to register properties, manage client information, store their transactions, and schedule appointments. The development was carried out using the agile SCRUM methodology, with an approach divided into sprints for requirements analysis, relational database design in PostgreSQL, and implementing a graphical interface developed in Python with PyQt5. The prototype significantly improved the organization's administrative operations, reducing data entry errors and optimizing customer and property management response times. In addition, the automated generation of reports enabled faster decision-making based on accurate data. In conclusion, the developed prototype represents an efficient and scalable technological solution that centralizes and automates the internal processes of the real estate company Inmocañari, positioning it as a more competitive company and prepared for future market demands.Item type: Ítem , Access status: Acceso Abierto , Firewalls integrados vs. externos en arquitecturas de nube: evaluación de eficacia mediante diseño y comparación(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Coronel Golubenko, Dimitri Eduardo; Cuenca Tapia, Juan Pablo; 1104496953In the era of digitalization, cloud computing is crucial for developing scalable and efficient technological infrastructures. However, this evolution poses significant challenges in cybersecurity. Firewalls, essential for network protection, have evolved to address the complexities of current threats. This research evaluates the efficiency of integrated firewalls compared to external ones in cloud architectures, providing a comparison that guides organizations in their implementation. Integrated firewalls, embedded in cloud infrastructure, facilitate management and improve operational efficiency, but they may lack the control and customization needed to address complex threats. On the other hand, external firewalls offer greater customization and control, although their integration and management can be more complex and may impact operational efficiency in dynamic environments. The study analyzes the performance, management, and impact on the effectiveness of both types of firewalls through simulations in a controlled environment. The results provide an empirical basis for strategic decisions in cloud security. This research is crucial for IT professionals seeking firewall solutions that not only protect their digital assets but also align with their operational and strategic needs.
