How to digitally protect a corporation?

In an increasingly connected world, cyberattacks stand out as one of the most serious threats today. From financial transactions to critical infrastructure operations, technological dependence requires a proactive stance on cybersecurity. Companies of all sizes need to be attentive and protected.

What are cyberattacks?

according to the CEO From Sign BEM, Carlos Henrique Mencaci, “these threats consist of actions carried out by individuals or groups with the objective of compromising systems, networks, devices and data. Targets range from theft of sensitive information to interruption of essential services. Motivations such as financial gain, espionage or destabilization are common and the tactics employed are constantly evolving”.

The expert highlights the main types of cyberattacks:

Phishing: Fake messages trick victims to get confidential data like passwords and banking information.

Malware: covers viruses, ransomware and other malicious programs.

DDoS: Overloads servers with fake traffic, making them inaccessible.

Social engineering: Manipulates people to take harmful actions or reveal private information.

vulnerability exploitation: Attacks security flaws in networks and applications.

“Being next to reliable partners and using secure platforms brings greater peace of mind in a scenario of constant threats”, emphasizes Mencaci

Impacts of Cyberattacks

The consequences can be devastating, such as:

Exhibition of confidential data: leakage of personal or corporate data.

financial losses: extortions, operational interruptions and theft of resources.

damage to reputation: Loss of public trust, especially in cases of customer exposure.

national security risks: Critical infrastructures such as energy and health can be compromised.

interference in everyday life: attacks on hospitals and transportation, for example, directly affect society.

“With Industry 4.0, technologies such as IoT, Big Data And artificial intelligence transforms industrial processes, but they also require advanced protection”, explains the specialist. According to Meticulous Research, the global cybersecurity market is expected to move $42.96 billion by 2029.

Brazil leads cases of ransomware In Latin America, followed by Mexico, Chile and Argentina, according to Entel Ocean. To face these challenges, experts recommend:

• Strengthen systems and conduct backups periodicals
• Test data recovery through simulations
• Train employees to identify risks
• Monitor vulnerable devices and implement controls
• Segment networks to limit attack propagation
• enhance the security of emails and two-factor authentication
• Develop and test incident response plans

Platforms like Sign Bem are valuable allies. “ The digital signature offers legal validity, advanced encryption and compliance with the General Law on the Protection of Personal Data – LGPD. In addition, the solution is practical, sustainable and safe, eliminating the use of paper and the risk of misplacement”, adds the CEO.
