Pavel Yashin, Head of Information Security at iiii Tech | 12/26/2023
Technology is moving forward, and digital progress is definitely inevitable. Inevitability does not sound like something good, although progress is moving forward. Why this contradiction? The thing is that technological progress is accompanied by the growth of cyber threats, which are becoming an acute and urgent challenge for companies around the world. Threats are becoming more complex and sophisticated, so protection methods need to be improved. In this context, cybersecurity outsourcing is becoming an integral part of the strategy of enterprises facing new challenges in the field of information security.
What's happening now
According to a report from Positive Technologies dated November 13, 2023, cybercriminals continue to use malware, and social engineering remains the biggest (92%) threat to individuals and one of the main (37%) attack vectors for organizations. More than half of organizations (56%) have suffered a data leak as a result of successful attacks. Therefore, there is no need to put off updating cybersecurity measures for a long time - threats are always somewhere nearby.
But ? After all, cybercrime losses worldwide are costa rica mobile database to rise from $8.15 trillion this year to $13.82 trillion in 2028, according to Statista, as hackers increasingly use AI.
Among the trends in information security provision at the moment, one can highlight the use of generative artificial intelligence. Model training allows the system to detect new and evolving threats, which makes this approach effective in identifying anomalies and protecting against modern cyberattacks.
However, the number of cyber attacks continues to grow: the usual attack methods are used - exploitation of known vulnerabilities, DDoS, as well as attacks using social engineering. In these circumstances, although it is impossible to talk about the total inefficiency of own measures in small and medium-sized companies, it is still worth remembering that work with information security should be continuous, it should be a well-established process in the company. At the same time, the purchase and implementation of even the most expensive solution will not relieve the company from the need to constantly monitor emerging vulnerabilities, implement its own policies and train personnel.
