“We’re seeing more and more complex attacks – ransomware, phishing, wipers, we’ve been seeing those more and more often in our activity. No company in the modern economy is 100% safe. We are all subject to risk whatever our name or sector might be. When we are connected to the Internet, when we use IT systems, we are subject to risks such as cyberattacks,” said Dorin Pena, general manager of Cisco Romania.
Every day, hundreds of thousands of various types of malware emerge and target the IT systems of companies and more, so IT protection systems must be increasingly more complex and secure not only PCs but the entire IT infrastructure, from servers and data storage equipment to IT networks, mobile devices and other Internet connected devices (such as the IoT devices).
“About 5% to 6% of a company’s budget should be directed to investments in protection, in the implementation of a full range of IT security solutions. If we overlook the IT security, the losses in a cyberattack will be much more serious,” said Vasile Voicu, B2B product management manager with Telekom Romania.
The ZF Cybersecurity Trends 2019 conference was organized in partnership with Cisco, Orange, Microsoft, NNDKP, PwC, Safetech, Telekom and Biroul de Traduceri Champollion.
