Cyber Security News with ElevenPaths CSAs Telefónica Tech

What is the path for a company after a security audit? It is increasingly common for companies of all sizes to decide to carry out such analyses, but what steps should be taken afterwards?

In this new chapter of our podcast, we take a look at these and many other questions that arise in companies involving ethical hacking and pentesting with our CSA Deepak Daswani.

Privacy and personal data protection are two of the greatest concerns today due to the large amount of information leaking out to the media every day. Practically all big companies today have large amounts of personal data on their customers.

In this new episode of ElevenPaths Radio English, our Chief Security Ambassador Carlos Ávila addresses the main doubts of these issues and talks about the major personal data leaks and the changes generated from these breaches. Why aren't all they public? What have countries done about these scandals?

In this episode, Gabriel Bergel, our CSA in Chile explains that nowadays there is no excuse for not being interested in cybersecurity. At a personal level, the use of smartphones exposes us to a series of risks if we are not aware of the use of this technology and social networks. These risks increase when you have children and even more at a professional level.

In this podcast we address the need for cybersecurity from the personal to the professional level, explaining the threats and vulnerabilities in these environments and the controls that help mitigate the risks.

It is increasingly common to see companies that offer their workers the possibility of working from home, combining it with work from the office. Unfortunately, during these past months in which the coronavirus has dominated practically all aspects of our daily lives, many companies have been forced to leave their offices. This has a number of information security implications that must be taken into account, both for companies and employees. It is very important to ensure that the handling of connections, backups and data from home does not generate information leaks or allow phishing attacks to succeed.

For this reason, in this new episode of ElevenPaths Radio, our CSA Diego Espitia reviews several events in which these measures were not taken into account and what consequences it caused to employees and companies.

If we put ourselves in the shoes of a CEO, on whom today depends the protection of the data that the company keeps for its customers, it is critical to have an effective information security plan. But how do they do it? Is it a matter of hiring professionals who really know the subject, but what skills should a cybersecurity professional have today?

In this first episode, our CSA Deepak Daswani discusses what a true cybersecurity professional must have to be valuable to companies. In addition, he covers the main areas of knowledge in cybersecurity, such as ethical hacking, pentesting, auditing, incident response, forensic analysis or malware analysis.
