Microsoft and IDC jointly carried out extensive and complete research with the aim of mapping the world of virtual crimes throughout Latin America.
Based on the research, the entities created a complete infographic with the data collected on cybercrimes, numbers of connected devices and the technologies available to face security risks.
Let’s look at some important data from the research:
Numbers of cyber attacks in 2015
- Brazil – 27 million attacks
- Mexico – 16 million attacks
- Colombia – 5 million attacks
Evolution in the number of devices
- 2012 – 227 million, 38% mobile
- 2016 – 577 million, 76% mobile
- 2018 – 700 million, 80% mobile
In relation to the movement of values via electronic commerce, the research points to a jump from US$ 30 billion in 2012 to US$ 105 billion by 2018.
The infographic also mentions the requirement for greater responsibility from organizations based on regulatory frameworks. This creates new needs for companies in relation to measures to combat network security threats.
The emergence of new technologies as a solution to combat security risks is also highlighted, where 3 recommendations must be followed when defining security strategies:
- Protect: Keep information storage locations secure and protect entry points from attacks
- Detect: Active security monitoring for quick detection of attacks and security breaches
- Reply: Quick measures to correct vulnerabilities and gaps between attacks and target points
In virtual attacks, the main gateway is users, who end up accessing insecure websites, where the attacks originate.
