The Risks in Cyber Security for 2019


Cyber security work of the research and development area of ​​the company that is responsible for observing the the behavior of what happens every day on the internet. "Not only do we rely on that, but we consult cybersecurity leaders and security officers in transnational corporations as well as those in charge of technology departments," he explained.

This report has been revealed without interruption since 2016 and the conclusions of the analysis have shown an assertiveness close to 90%, according to Castillo. In 2019 the document, Forcepoint emphasizes 7 aspects that could represent the greatest threats to cyber security across the planet.

The first one is related to excessive confidence in Artificial Intelligence (AI). According to the expert, the world still has a long way to go on these issues. “We don't have something concrete to show AI in general and less in matters of information security. Yes we have very advanced analytics that helps us to have certain certainty, but in general terms, we need a lot of progress in artificial intelligence, ”he said. That is why it is an obvious risk for technology users to rely excessively on this type of tool without being critical of the results obtained.

The second aspect that will threaten cyber security in 2019 is an eventual “scale chaos on the internet of industrial things”. Castillo said the attackers are increasingly looking for vulnerabilities in the hardware and cloud infrastructure of companies that apply solutions in their production processes.

More threats

Facial recognition systems, litigation against employees, attacks for industrial espionage purposes, privacy and in general the culture of cybersecurity are aspects that Forcepoint emphasized in its report.

Paradoxically, what has become a technology that seeks to guarantee authentication in order to combat fraud has become a new node of cyber insecurity: facial recognition?
According to Castillo, this technology may also have its weaknesses thanks to the use of 3D printing technologies that could rebuild faces and overcome security barriers. For Castillo, this vulnerability needs analysis, although this type of solution is just beginning to be implemented in the United States and Europe.

The human factor remains key in cyberattack issues. In the first instance, it is clear that unscrupulous employees within organizations can put themselves at the service of hackers. The problem with these internal threats is that they end up in a game of "litigation and blame" in which the burden of proof lies with the companies. What we see is the famous 'check me out I was behind the keyboard' theme. The organizations accuse the employee of having done something wrong and the employee is going to have every intention of resorting to that argument for his defense.

  1. Use combofix, website development cost in dubai from bleepingcomputer.com, at that point go download malwarebytes from softpedia.com or cnet.com and use it, at that point clean the remainder of the infection with superantispyware from softpedia.com or superantispyware.com.
