What problems do managers consult you with most frequently?
The business world is beginning to value its computer security systems. This arises because we have begun to see a huge number of attacks under the modality of ransomware, literally kidnapping for ransom. The hackers infect servers with software malicious and encrypt the information. Generating huge operating costs for firms. The number of organizations that are victims of this criminal modality is significant, many of which prefer to pay the ransom and not report the crime for fear of being exposed.
Is there a way to prevent it?
My advice is simple. Always have a backup copy of the data on servers that serve as back-up and in the cloud. Obviously, these systems have to be isolated from the main one to prevent them from being infected. If the company has the cloned information, the pressure that attackers can exert will be very low.
What happens when Justice intervenes?
Many entities are afraid of being “undressed” and forced to reveal business secrets. But this does not necessarily have to be so. The recommendation at this point is that the same organization carry out a computer expertise with its own technicians and leave it recorded in notarial acts from when IP access occurred. Even the most volatile evidence is recommended to be preserved through a hash If the attack is taking place in real time, having the support of specialized state agencies can be of great help in avoiding paying disproportionate ransoms.
Can the company be responsible towards its customers?
The answer is yes, since there is a legal duty of protection and custody in relation to the private data of users. It is a sensitive issue that must be approached strategically.
