Cyberthreats: Data Protection Measures for Companies

With the advancement of technology, protection against data leaks and sensitive information has become a top priority for businesses.In an ever-changing digital world, lack of knowledge, unpreparedness, lack of adequate security infrastructures and resistance to change can result in cyber attacks that compromise operations and reputation.

Albano Momberg, professor of the Computer Science course at the University Center of Our Lady of Sponsorship (CEUNSP), highlights the need for companies to be proactive and invest in technologies capable of detecting and responding to threats in real time. “Companies need to have a robust information security policy, including data encryption, multifactor authentication, conduct regular audits, and, in addition, invest in Artificial Intelligence and machine learning”, says Momberg.

The human factor is also crucial.Momberg emphasizes that investing in constant employee training in good security practices helps reduce vulnerabilities.Education and awareness of safe practices are essential to strengthen defense against cyberthreats.

For smaller companies, which may not have the resources to invest in robust security systems, there are low-cost alternatives such as firewalls, antivirus, and automatic backup tools. Outsourcing cybersecurity services to experts can also be a viable solution.

“It is important that decision makers and digital security officers of companies keep up to date with the latest cybersecurity trends and practices. Attending specialized conferences and forums is crucial to innovate in the protection of” data, adds Momberg.

While digital security technology continues to evolve, challenges grow as cybercriminals improve their techniques.

Brazil Faces Over 3.7 Million Online Fraud Attempts in 2023

Brazilian e-commerce has gone through a challenging year in 2023, with more than 3.7 million fraud attempts recorded in a total of 277.4 million online sales requests, according to a report by ClearSale.Fraud attempts accounted for 1.4% of orders, adding up to a total value of R$ 3.5 billion. The average ticket for these frauds was R$ 925.44, double the average value of legitimate orders.

Mobile phones led fraud attempts in Brazil, with 228.1 thousand occurrences, followed by telecommunications (221.6 thousand) and beauty products (208.2 thousand). Other categories affected included sneakers, household goods, sports, furniture, TVs/monitors, refrigerators/freezers and games. Fraud focused on products that were easily resold and high added value, showing that no category is immune.

To combat fraud, companies must adopt internal security policies, training employees in good cybersecurity practices and verifying the authenticity of websites and emails before providing sensitive information. It is essential to use encryption to protect data and invest in anti-fraud solutions and information security tools, such as firewalls, to defend against cyberattacks and reduce financial risks.

Daniel Nascimento, Sales Head of Soluti, emphasizes the need to invest in digital security. “ Companies in Goias and throughout Brazil need to improve their security strategies by investing in employee training and awareness, as well as security tools. Without this, the dispute against attackers is greatly compromised, almost at '00'”, says Nascimento.

Soluti, the leader in the digital certification market in Brazil, offers technological solutions that help companies avoid fraud and ensure the authenticity of transactions. Nascimento highlights the crucial role of digital education in reducing fraud. “It is essential to train the team to be able to identify an attack. A conscious person can prevent the attack and even prevent it from being disseminated, already warning the company's security or IT team.”

Despite the available solutions, small and medium-sized companies face significant challenges when implementing these measures. “The main challenge is that many companies still do not understand the gravity of this scenario and are not prepared to defend themselves. Many managers believe that they will not be targeted because of the size of their companies, which leaves the ̄s guard low and makes them prone to suffer attacks that can cause significant damage”, warns Daniel Nascimento.

The increase in online fraud attempts in Brazil highlights the urgent need for robust digital security measures.With the increasing sophistication of cyberattacks, investing in technology and education is essential to protect companies and ensure consumer confidence in e-commerce.

The e-commerce market has registered an exponential growth in recent years, with a significant increase in online sales and competition among retailers. According to Statista, global e-commerce sales are expected to reach US$ 6.5 trillion by 2024, representing a growing share of total retail sales.In this competitive scenario, SEO (Search Engine Optimization) has become an essential tool to ensure visibility and success in search platforms such as Google and Bing.

Worldpay Study Highlights Importance of Payments in Gaming and Betting Industry

The gaming and betting industry is at the forefront of using payments to improve customer acquisition and loyalty, according to a recent Worldpay study.The report reveals that consumers in this industry increasingly demand payment options, prioritizing speed, security and ease for both deposits and withdrawals.

For gaming and betting operators, payment efficiency can no longer be an afterthought; it should be a constant priority. A strategic approach to payments can become critical to customer retention and growth, as well as optimizing financial results.

Worldpay research indicates that gaming and betting consumers expect seamless and personalized payment experiences.Debit and credit cards still dominate the market, accounting for 35% of transactions in the US, but digital wallets and alternative payment methods such as A2A (Pix in Brazil) are gaining ground.

A2A payments offer significant benefits such as lower transaction costs, near-instant settlement and higher authorization ratios. With 70% of players valuing payout speed and 44% reusing winnings for new bets, the availability of real-time payment systems with instant settlement is attractive to both consumers and operators.

The survey revealed that 27% of players would give up an action if their preferred payment method was not available. This highlights the importance of offering a wide range of payment options.Efficient payments have the power to increase revenue and loyalty, providing a significant competitive advantage for operators who innovate in their payment journeys and gaming experiences.

With regulation of fewer markets and organic growth slowing in regulated markets, competition is fiercer than ever before. Profits are under constant scrutiny from executives, analysts and shareholders, making payment innovation even more crucial.

Com a ascensão da IA na gestão financeira das empresas, decisões sobre o futuro do negócio ficaram mais ágeis e seguras

A gestão financeira desempenha um papel fundamental na garantia de informações precisas e estratégicas para o sucesso das empresas. No contexto empresarial atual, a rapidez e a qualidade das informações financeiras são determinantes para assegurar a rentabilidade e evitar perdas. 

A utilização da Inteligência Artificial (IA) surge como uma ferramenta-chave para agilizar e aprimorar os processos de tomada de decisão no mundo globalizado em que estamos inseridos. Empresas podem agora, por exemplo, analisar rapidamente as melhores condições para adquirir matéria-prima em diversas partes do mundo, visando reduzir custos e melhorar a lucratividade. 

No âmbito financeiro, a IA permite uma tomada de decisão mais rápida e precisa, processando volumes elevados de dados de forma eficiente. É o que explica Teresinha Carvalho, mestre e professora do curso de Gestão Financeira do CEUNSP. 

“Com a evolução tecnológica acelerada, novas oportunidades surgem diariamente para melhorar os processos de gestão e decisão. As empresas que não se adaptam às novas tecnologias correm o risco de ficar para trás, perdendo grandes oportunidadesA integração de ferramentas tecnológicas na gestão financeira não apenas agiliza a disponibilização de resultados anteriores com maior detalhamento, mas também fornece dados comparativos essenciais para orientar decisões futuras”. A professora destaca também que relatórios gerados pela IA são abrangentes, estendendo a visão tanto do passado quanto do futuro, beneficiando gestores e líderes empresariais. 

“Além de facilitar a análise de grandes volumes de dados, a IA também desempenha um papel importante na identificação e mitigação de riscos de investimento, garantindo decisões mais seguras tanto para empresas quanto para investidores”, afirma a professora, alertando também que os desafios e riscos devem fazer parte deste processo, entendidos como importantes para que estejamos seguros e confiantes na sua utilização visando o crescimento. 

“Devemos entender o importante momento de mudanças que estão ocorrendo, onde as informações são disponibilizadas mais rapidamente, e devemos nos adequar a analisar e tomar decisões mais rápidas de forma consistente para aproveitarmos a velocidade e a qualidade do que está por vir”, concludes.

“O grande desafio para o Brasil hoje é o S, por uma razão muito simples: somos campeões em desigualdades sociais e aqui [no evento] vimos setores que estão trabalhando para quebrar esses ciclos, e que a gente possa cada vez mais nos unir, ter mais força, pois devemos devolver para a sociedade um impacto positivo, seja na forma ambiental e no compromisso social”, destaca Elisabete.

Para a presidente do Conselho de Administração do ChildFund Brasil, a união entre empresas, sociedade e organizações é fundamental para a transformação social e ambiental. “Temos um compromisso social. A sociedade deve se unir para equilibrar os ciclos de desigualdades e causar uma transformação positiva. Quanto mais empresas se engajarem nesse movimento, mais força teremos para fazer a diferença. Estamos no Brasil há 58 anos e o que mais precisamos são parcerias que se unam a nós para atingir cada vez mais pessoas. Se a gente puder impactar as 20 milhões de crianças que existem no Brasil precisando de ser impactadas, esse é o nosso sonho. E quem quiser vir com a gente, estamos à disposição”, destacou Elisabete durante o evento, que após uma carreira bem-sucedida como executiva, encontrou no voluntariado, há 15 anos na organização, sua grande vocação.

Palestras magnas com FAS, Amigos do Bem e Dengo Chocolates

Etus Launches AI Solution for Posts and Images Creation for Social Networks of SMEs

Etus, a platform specialized in social network management and member of the LWSA group, has just announced a new and innovative solution based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the creation of posts and images. The new functionality, integrated with the Edi co-pilot, promises to revolutionize the online presence of companies, especially Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

Etus AI, which already performs several functions on the platform, now includes image generators from prompts and full posts, with text, image, hashtags and suggestion of best time for posting.“These optimized and automated solutions strengthen the online presence of companies in social networks”, says Livia Lampert, executive manager of Etus and Kinghost.

Key benefits of the new tool include task automation, data analytics, marketing personalization, and creating more effective, targeted campaigns based on real data. Other features include text overlay for pre-publication testing, a calendar of important seasonal dates, and a media library with images and videos.

Available exclusively on the Etus platform, AI integrates with several social networks, including Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, Tumblr and Threads. To use the tool, simply access the Etus website and hire the service. In creating the posts, the user must provide a detailed description of what they want, choose the size and style, and the AI executes the request.

According to Livia Lampert, the new Edi features meet the growing demand for more elaborate and more comprehensive posts, especially for small and medium-sized entrepreneurs who cannot outsource this type of service. A recent survey of Sebrae (Brazilian Service of Support to Micro and Small Enterprises) shows that SMEs represent 27% of the GDP of the country, which has about 9 million micro and small companies.

“With Edi, we are democratizing access to AI for small entrepreneurs and companies of all sizes. We offer creative support that assists in the production of end-to-end content, allowing companies to optimize their campaigns, automate processes and enhance the reach and efficiency of their digital strategies, according to their specific needs”, says Livia Lampert.

She adds that the combination of AI and personalization allows the creation of large volumes of content in less time, freeing copywriters and marketers to focus on more strategic tasks, optimizing human and financial resources.“A Edi is intuitive, fully in Portuguese, but comprises multiple languages, adding to the strategies of small entrepreneurs and optimizing their work and that of their employees”, she concludes.
