During 2017 we will suffer ‘old’ threats like ransomware, cyber espionage and ‘hacktivist’ exposing privacy issues but in addition to known them, our threats list will upgrade so much adding new concepts like machine learning accelerates social engineering attacks or cloud computing providers infection. The list is a very long, so a big effort (time, money, people) is needed to mitigate all these risks. After reading more than 10 different reports about Cyber Security Threats 2017 published in Internet I did my own version. I hope you like it.

Every year, the challenge of protecting our IT assets from growing threats and cyber attacks is growing. Once some malicious application is in our network and later can quickly move with traffic and produce a big impact in our the network. These attacks can be devastating. I created a presentation where I explain in details this topic, you can see my presentation here (in Spanish): ¿Cuáles son los peligros a los que se enfrenta su sistema informático? from Ramiro CidRead More →

In times when Cloud Computing, Internet of Things, mobile devices (including environments BYOD) are an increasingly widespread reality (and unstoppable future), thereby opening backdoors to our corporate network (and their respective threats), which place touches the IT security officer to manage an increasingly large number of hits and risks? Where is our corporate perimeter? Block accesses can talk or we have only to settle for being resilient to attacks due to a lack of control visibility and access control? Many doubts are raised, the market has responded and there are technological and non-technological solutions that seek to remedy the growing risk are suffering the organizations withRead More →

The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) is increasing for both leisure and commercial purposes, so it is more and more an extended practice. The different uses are many and the list continue growing, thus some issues started to appear which need regulations and best practices to try to control the use in a correct way. I created a presentation where I explain the best practices about the use of drones in Critical Infrastructure, you can see my presentation here: Drones and their use on critical infrastructure from Ramiro CidRead More →

Nowadays, and even more in the future, Internet of Things, Big Data and Mobility will be present (they are already now) in our personal and professional life. The more these concepts grow, the more risk we are assuming about misuse of our Privacy Data, so more effort we will need to do to improve our privacy. Internet of Things definitely is a big relationship between physicalWorld and virtualWorld. In the future (already now) the extensive use of our data in this new “virtual World” causes a huge risk of misuse of our private data. Big Data is a broad term for data sets so large or complex thatRead More →

Nowadays, and even more in the future, Internet of Things will be present (it is already now) in our personal and professional life. The more assets are “shared” (including Critical Infrastructures) in this new “environment”, the more risk we are assuming, so more effort we will need to do to improve our security. It is clear that we are “opening” many doors (too many?) to give opportunities to hackers to attack our Critical Infrastructures, environments and assets, steal or destroy our data (think about Big Data also) and maybe we can also think all it is not logical because it is an attitude with too muchRead More →
