In 2024, the need to have security services will be key when it comes to protecting companies. Digital transformation emerges as a robust solution. The adoption of advanced technologies and process optimization, essential characteristics in digital transformation, allow an effective response.
Collaboration between companies, the public world and digitalization experts can make a significant difference, strengthening resilience and guaranteeing efficient and safe operation, crucial for the continuity and reliability of public services.
Advanced technologies and secure clouds
Investing in advanced technologies and secure clouds is crucial to preventing data hijacking and other cyber risks. “Adopting a comprehensive approach can make a substantial difference, facilitating an effective response to these challenges. The adoption of these technologies will not only contribute to data security, but will also foster a preventive technological culture among users. It is crucial to promote a technological culture, promoting prevention and education in cybersecurity, to face the challenges of the digital future,” explains Matías Corrales, CEO of Kolossus Chile, an expert company in digital transformation consulting.
Currently, there is a lot of debate about how outdated systems and lack of adequate cybersecurity measures have left the private or public sector vulnerable to cyber attacks.
There are a series of technologies to alleviate these types of problems, such as Advanced Threat Protection (ATP), which helps detect and investigate anomalies in network traffic automatically, providing a kind of security guard in each “room.” ” of the system, and using an isolated environment (sandbox) to test suspicious code and avoid damage to the network.
Machine learning and AI
On the other hand, there is “Machine Learning” (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), which allow us to keep pace with the evolution of cyber threats, automating threat detection and helping public sector IT teams focus on more security issues
Another point is Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), a security model that requires strict identity verification every time you try to access a network resource, even from within the organization, providing an additional layer. security especially in remote work environments.
Modernization and Digital Culture of the public sector
The importance of modernizing technological systems and promoting a digital culture among users as preventive measures. “We can mention the project to modernize the Treasury and Taxation system financed by the World Bank, which seeks to update and unify computer systems through cloud technologies, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and Blockchain,” says Corrales.
Finally, the expert comments that “we must continue to reflect on the importance of investing in advanced technologies and adopting a robust cybersecurity culture to protect public systems and critical information.”
