Cybersecurity is one of the most significant challenges for companies today, regardless of their size or the sector in which they operate.
One of the fundamental aspects is the increase in people’s awareness: not all employees have skills in cyber security, even if they use digital systems and tools on a daily basis. It is therefore essential to help them understand the risks they are exposed to every day.
These considerations take on even greater importance when we consider that companies handle sensitive data, both their own and those of their customers.
However, many companies do not fully grasp the scope of these issues and tend not to invest adequately, thus exposing themselves to significant risks.
Cyber security is only one component of cybersecurity: we can define it as the most strictly technological part. The discipline includes numerous other aspects, including data protection, which is also addressed by the GDPR.
A key concept is that of risk, which arises from the encounter between threat and vulnerability. Risk is determined by the likelihood that a threat will exploit vulnerability. For this reason, identifying risks, understanding them, and taking steps to contain and manage them is crucial to preventing accidents.
The vulnerability represents a weakness in the system and can affect software, hardware, or the organization itself. Threats, on the other hand, can result from cyberattacks, human error, or even external events such as natural disasters.
When a threat encounters vulnerability, a risk materializes to the company, in particular to the protection of information.
Numerous cyberattacks are carried out on companies every day. Many of these are unsuccessful thanks to the adoption of adequate security measures. Tools such as antivirus and antimalware are a fundamental first line of defense to prevent damage.
Our priority is to protect customer data and business processes, while ensuring high security standards. For this reason, we have relied on a specialized partner Numero10 SPA which, with Sophos Italia, supports us in data protection activities.
