Recent waves of next-generation cyberattacks on large organizations have shaken the business world, exposing vulnerabilities<\/strong> and challenging information security.<\/a><\/p>\n

The reality of recent next-generation cyberattacks<\/h2>\n

The information on the recent waves of cyberattacks on companies in Spain and worldwide is alarming.<\/strong>
At the end of 2023, 73% of companies worldwide reported a
fear of receiving a cyberattack<\/a> in the following year, an increase of 8% compared to the previous year.<\/strong>
The outlook in Spain is also worrying, as 94% of companies have suffered a
cybersecurity incident in the last year<\/a>. Already in 2022, Spain ranked third globally in terms of cyberattacks.<\/strong>
Recent next-generation cyberattacks are sophisticated, targeted, and persistent.<\/strong> They use advanced techniques to bypass traditional security systems and cause significant damage.
These attacks are not limited to small and medium-sized companies with less protection capacity, but large organizations are also proving to be vulnerable targets.<\/strong>
Attackers use techniques such as targeted
phishing<\/a>, ransomware, and brute force attacks<\/strong> to penetrate enterprise networks, as well as zero-day vulnerabilities and security flaws unknown to the public and the software manufacturer.
These techniques are effective because they use the latest technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence or machine learning,<\/strong> in the design and execution of cyberattacks.
The impact of these recent cyberattacks is not limited to the short term and, sometimes, endangers the business’s survival in the medium term.<\/strong> Immediate damage includes loss of sensitive data, disruption of business operations and services, damage to the company’s reputation, and the cost of recovery.<\/p>\n
