Is to prevent a cyberattack before it happens?
Oct 16, 2021
It widely recognized that cybercrime has never been as creative, dangerous, and costly as it is today. A prime example is the recent ransomware attack against Accenture, along with attacks on the National Treasury itself, ongoing data breaches, system intrusions, and consequently, 2021 has even earned the title of "the year of ransomware."Malware is a Concern for 64% of Companies Worldwide
As services and businesses massively migrate to digital, connected platforms and systems, often hosted on third-party infrastructures, the market value of these organizations is tied to how secure their operations are. The Canaltech portal recently reported on findings from the ESET Security Report 2021, revealing that for 64% of respondents, malware is undoubtedly their biggest headache.The survey also indicates something that most consultancies, insurers, and big tech firms have warned since the beginning of the pandemic, remote work, and hyper-digitalization of businesses—even prior to that: suffering a cyberattack is merely a matter of time, affecting all sectors and companies of every size, without exception.
Awareness and Security-Focused Processes Are Competitive Differentiators
For some executives, the scenario may seem hopeless. However, for many, it presents an opportunity to invest intelligently, enhancing their businesses and positioning Information Security as one of their core pillars. Security by Design and Privacy by Design are already processes adopted by major corporations. These concepts integrate security across all devices and processes created within the business, from start to finish.Education and awareness in security, delivered through training sessions and campaigns for employees, bolstered by recent global data protection laws—such as the LGPD—complement and reinforce security technologies. In other words, when it comes to security, processes, people, and technology must always go hand in hand.The
Ecosystem of Secure Development
In day-to-day operations, the secret lies in the teams and how they approach each stage of the business. For instance, if developers do not implement security from the outset, do not think in terms of secure processes, and are unaware of the concepts of DevSecOps, they will often fail to identify flaws in their code, let alone test and correct them. Consequently, from the onset of the product, platform, or service, it is already vulnerable—often to simple and easily avoidable cyberattacks.And who is responsible for identifying these flaws? From developers to quality control, project managers, product owners, and the entire development ecosystem… Everyone is part of the security process, yet many are completely unaware of how they can contribute to the defense of the business.
Security Is Everyone's Responsibility
In the daily operations of companies, there is often a constant need for speed in developing new solutions, applications, or even the simplest features. Additionally, it is common for tasks aimed at correcting vulnerabilities to be deprioritized due to the technology team's lack of technical knowledge.Imagine if the entire team were aware of potential flaws before even launching something into production. Before spending countless hours and resources reviewing already released services, often without knowing what they are looking for, without being able to prioritize issues, or understanding the real impact of existing flaws on the business.Understanding the Real Impact of
Understanding the Real Impact of security issues on Your Business
In light of this problem, Unxpose was designed to be educational from end to end, from how it explains the potential impact and context of each identified vulnerability to the tutorials on how to resolve them. The instructions are crafted to be easily understood even by those without expertise in cybersecurity and include references to videos and external documents to aid general comprehension. Unxpose's intelligent prioritization is also crucial for the entire team's awareness, as it highlights vulnerabilities that truly matter, considering the company's context.The Result? By saving team hours and providing detection and specialized insights, the product becomes invariably more secure, increasing the speed at which security flaws are rectified. Promoting positive conduct at every stage of the process not only brings teams closer together, creating complete visibility of the product, but also engages each member with a new culture, changing their behaviors and eliminating risks before a cyberattack can occur.CopyRegenerate
