Cyber Security

The gig economy has brought great opportunities but has also increased cybersecurity risks for companies

A ransomware attack is one of the most common cyber threats. Learning how to defend your devices has become fundamental.

Zero-day vulnerabilities are dangerous because they can be exploited before the vendor is aware of them. This gives attackers a window of opportunity to do what they want before the vulnerability is patched.

: Incident response (IR) is a security approach allowing to quickly identify attacks, mitigate damages, address causes and reduce negative events iteration. As cyber security represents a key function to enforce across digital transformation, companies must build solid and detailed incident response plans to check areas exposed to attacks and foresee the best defensive countermeasures. The importance of incident response plans shouldn’t be underestimated, as IBM states that organizations can save $4,45 million for the recovery, especially leveraging AI-based solutions with a $1,76 million saving. Furthermore, firms are willing to increase their investments in cyber security to develop and implement incident response plans into business.

Technologies can improve the Supply Chain, but at the same time they expose companies to new risks. That's why Cyber Security is strategic.

The K.I.S.S. principle is a design approach highlighting simplicity as a key factor to improve products and services overall quality, usability and performances. The K.I.S.S. principle can be successfully applied for cyber security design to make security models’ architecture and procedures easy, usable, effective, efficient and responsive to tackle cyber threats minimizing risks and damages. The acronym “K.I.S.S.” stands for several meanings like “keep it simple, stupid” or “keep it super simple”, but for what concerns cyber security it could be read as “keep information security simple”. This approach addresses simplicity as the powerful lever that made the most disruptive innovations possible, a concept confirmer by modern geniuses as Steve Jobs.

Risk and vulnerability assessment in cybersecurity regards the capacity of identifying threats, addressing dangers and fixing weaknesses about corporate information and data security systems. Organizations can implement effective procedures to best perform their assessments of risks and vulnerabilities, especially by leveraging the 5x5 Matrix to elaborate these factors in terms of likelihood and severity. This useful tool categorizes potential cases combining different likelihood and severity levels, hence prioritizes actions that need to be taken urgently, enabling cybersecurity teams to make better decisions driven by information, data and reasoning.

Wifi security is the protection of connected devices and networks in a wireless environment in order to prevent unauthorized access by unwanted users.

The goal of the Gaia-X project is to create a common European digital cloud ecosystem in which transparency, auditability, portability and interoperability between data and services are in force.
