Latin America. According to Akamai Technologies, this study is the first of its kind and helps security professionals to get ahead and beat cybercriminals, and companies to strengthen their security strategies.
The Defender's Guide 2025: Strengthen Your Defenses for the Future has been launched by Akamai and is the first to include actionable research, with updates on risk scores, VPN abuse, and advanced malware techniques, so that companies in Latin America can strengthen their cybersecurity strategy. It is also particularly interesting for CIOs, as it presents a comprehensive security framework with proactive measures as a good basis for a cybersecurity strategy based on the results of the studies.
According to Oswaldo Palacios, Senior Account Manager for Akamai Latin America, Akamai's guidance provides companies and security teams in the region with key elements to manage and mitigate risks based on visibility at different stages and layers of communications.
"For proper threat management, it is essential to know what we are facing, even if there is no information about the potential danger anywhere, with which Akamai becomes not only a portfolio of cybersecurity tools but also a 7x24 watchdog of our entire computer infrastructure with real and timely solutions to the most advanced attackers," concluded Palacios.
"This guide serves to remind security directors of the importance of research in their cybersecurity strategies. By having
innovative technical analysis on attacks and integrating this information into their processes, technologies, and teams, organizations can successfully mitigate the risks of this increasingly complex digital landscape. All of this allows for better investments in security, reduced risk of costly incidents, and ultimately reduced costs," said Boaz Gelbord, senior vice president and chief security officer, Akamai. "With a strategy grounded in research and research, security teams can work on the latest findings and pragmatically and accurately address today's threats."
Security professionals will find in this report data from cybersecurity experts and data scientists who face daily threats on the front lines. The Advocates Guide takes a different approach than conventional reporting: this time, we offer a more hands-on approach rather than focusing on more abstract trends.
Mitch Mayne, Director of Cybersecurity Research at Akamai, says, "Large cyber threat reports are often published for CIOs and other decision-makers. And these are important reports, but it is also important that those who are fighting on the front line have specific guidelines. The Advocates Guide is exactly that, and it's the first in the industry. It is a comprehensive and unified tool that includes new findings and best practices to stay one step ahead of emerging threats." "By synthesizing the best research, we not only equip advocates with crucial information, but we also help them better manage their time and resources to achieve the best outcomes in this fight."
