The importance of cybersecurity has grown significantly in recent times, with a special emphasis on the need to consider technologies, users, and processes in defense strategies. According to Alejandro Botter, Security Engineering Manager (SoLA), artificial intelligence (AI) can both intensify the quality and quantity of attacks and benefit defense.
During CPX Argentina 2024, Gery Coronel, Country Manager (SoLA), mentioned that one of the most impacted sectors in Argentina is the financial one. He also highlighted that external risks can provide organizations with valuable information about attackers and their intentions.
One of the keys to protecting against emerging threats is for companies to anticipate malicious attacks. Coronel emphasized the importance of organizations prioritizing cybersecurity and adopting proactive measures to safeguard their data and systems.
In the field of cybersecurity, artificial intelligence has gained relevance in organizations' defense strategies. According to the World Economic Forum, current defenses benefit by 10% compared to the 60% of attackers.
In Argentina, an increase in the number of cyberattacks reported by organizations has been observed in the last six months. On average, about 1,913 cyberattacks were recorded weekly, reflecting an upward trend in malicious activities.
It is crucial to train employees and instruct them on new threats to mitigate cyberattacks. Additionally, conducting drills or simulations of these incidents can help improve the preparation and response of security teams.
AI can be used not only by attackers to enhance their tactics but also as a valuable tool for cybersecurity teams in detecting and mitigating threats. In this regard, it is essential for companies to focus on presenting effective cybersecurity strategies to protect their digital assets and reduce exposure to potential vulnerabilities.
