Given that companies must be concerned about cybersecurity if they want to create a sustainable business over time, are there other reasons why they should integrate and avoid the threats that cybersecurity brings with it ?For Omar, concern about computer security for companies must be linked to its digitization:
“Companies are in an era of Digital Transformation, where they are adapting their business models to be more efficient, improve production and be competitive in a market influenced by new "digital native" customers.
This "transformation" results in the use of new technologies in the different production processes of companies. From the use of mobile devices to be closer to information and to be able to accelerate decision-making, through new digital channels (social networks, internet, applications, etc.) to get closer to customers and get to know them better, even the use of RFID or internet-connected light bulbs to optimize production ".
So when does the conflict with IT security for companies arise? For Omar, at first glance, “the use of new technologies is interesting and seems to be the answer to the needs of this new“ digital ”revolution in the market. And it is! The problem is that, by adopting them, organizations are expanding the attack surface by having new “things” connected to the network and without appropriate security mechanisms ”.
