corporate applications , manipulate or steal business data and even install malware .
Although threats are constantly evolving , the cybersecurity market is increasingly updated to protect digital business assets . Even small and medium-sized businesses
Investing in cybersecurity technologies is not just a preventive measure , but a vital strategy . can now rely on complete technologies to combat threats . Among the solutions to deal with the main attacks that occurred in Brazil , the most important is the Next-Generation Firewall , which has complete security features such as Advanced Threat Protection ( ATP ), which offers behavioral analysis of files and the corporate network to detect and block anomalies , in addition to providing sandboxing , a technique that performs the execution of programs , potentially dangerous code or processes in isolation to protect against advanced threats . In addition , the Next-Generation Firewall also has technologies such as Web Content Filtering , Intrusion Prevention System ( IPS ) and Data Loss Prevention ( DLP ), which act to detect and prevent threats and attacks in real time , blocking traffic and malicious activities on the network or in the cloud , before they cause damage .
It is worth mentioning that protecting companies against cyberattacks requires an integrated and proactive approach . To do this , it is necessary to implement innovative solutions that are comprehensive , advanced , and constantly updated to ensure data security .
Thus , it is also worth investing in an XDR ( Extended Detection and Response ) system for extended detection and response that uses automation and AI to collect and correlate data from network assets in order to take actions to stop more sophisticated
attacks . XDR detection logs , integrated with a security information and event management ( SIEM ) system , allow threats with more sophisticated intrusion , hijacking , and information theft techniques to be blocked before they have a chance to disrupt the company ’ s business .
Educational measures and training to empower internal users are positive actions , but the human factor will always characterize a high risk for security breaches and it is necessary to create a resilient cybersecurity environment , composed of several layers of protection .
So , investing in cybersecurity technologies is not just a preventive measure , but a vital strategy for the success of organizations in a business scenario full of cyberthreats . If it is possible to have an internal or outsourced security operations center ( SOC ) with professionals specialized in information security to monitor and respond to incidents in real time , proactive defense against cybercriminals becomes even safer and more efficient . •
