What is cybersecurity?
Cyber attack is understood as the intrusion of one computer equipment to another (networks, computers, mobile devices and others) in order to control, damage or destabilize it.
These attacks may come from different sources, including social engineering (or manipulation), malware (viruses, Trojans, computer worms, etc.), intrusive codes that operate on databases (SQL injections), violations derived from the loss or incorrect use of devices and accesses, among others.
Therefore, cybersecurity focuses on the proactive and constant search, as well as the identification and understanding, of possible threats in computer systems capable of evading existing filters. It requires the participation of trained personnel (developers, analysts, data scientists, etc.) who master the relevant technologies to avoid or counteract the damage.
For computer security plans to be successful they must follow the following recommendations:
Know the different types of cybersecurity and cyber attacks
Having this knowledge allows the work teams, both internally and at the corporate level, to better manage the action plans to safeguard the systems.
Constantly train staff
The human factor usually represents one of the greatest risks in terms of security and protection, so it is not only important that the team is committed to the company's policies (personally and legally), but that it is constantly trained to master the tools and execute best practices.
Use the same security provider
Although it is suggested to know the extensive offer of cybersecurity providers, implementing tools that do not come from the same source can cause conflicts (security gaps) if those responsible do not configure them properly.
Appoint a Security Analyst
This element of the team, besides being specialized in the subject, plans, implements and updates the control measures in the protection strategy; In addition, it coordinates security plans with elements external to the company, protects digital files and accesses, audits internal behaviors and analyzes security breaches to know their root.
