Zero Trust is a security model based on the principle that no entity, whether inside or outside the corporate network—should be automatically trusted. This approach involves continuously verifying the identity, context, and security posture of all devices and users before granting access to critical resources.

The digitalization of the retail sector has been key to improving customer experience and optimizing operational processes. However, this transformation has also exposed companies in the sector to a growing wave of cyberattacks. From e-commerce platforms to point-of-sale (POS) terminals, attack surfaces have multiplied—along with the risks to data integrity and business continuity.

The biotech sector is revolutionizing health, agriculture, and science with innovations that can change the world. But with great advancements come great risks, especially when it comes to cybersecurity. Critical information from clinical trials, intellectual property, and sensitive patient data has become the perfect target for cybercriminals and their cyberattacks.

The biotechnology sector has been one of the fastest-growing industries in recent years, known for its innovation in drug development, diagnostics, and advanced therapies. However, this progress has also attracted the attention of cybercriminals. In 2023, ransomware became one of the main threats to biotechs, jeopardizing the security of critical data and operational continuity.

The food industry is undergoing a digital transformation, adopting technologies like IoT, SCADA systems, and cloud platforms to optimize its processes. However, this evolution has also increased its exposure to cyber threats that could compromise food safety, operational continuity, and business reputation.

In an era where DNA turns into data, laboratories are managed in the cloud, and molecular discoveries are stored in globally interconnected servers, cybersecurity becomes a priority. As cybersecurity specialists, we at ESED have witnessed in real-time how the biotechnology industry has shifted from being an analog, closed environment to becoming one of the most digitized, distributed, and vulnerable sectors.

Biotech companies are a prime target for cybercriminals due to the sensitive nature of their data, which includes confidential information about research and development, intellectual property, patient data, and collaborations with other organizations.

When we want to perform a search on the internet, most of the time we do it through well-known web browsers like Google, Microsoft Edge, or through the latest Artificial Intelligences. These search engines belong to what is known as the Clear Net. The Clear Net is the part of the internet accessible to everyone and is regulated according to the laws and conditions of governments.

One of the main goals of cybercriminals is to obtain the passwords and access credentials of companies' private systems to launch their cyberattacks. With an employee's account credentials, a cybercriminal can gain access to private company information, such as customer, supplier, and employee data, financial information, bank details, and other confidential and sensitive documentation. If this information becomes public, it could cause significant harm to the targeted company.

In this context, where cybercrime is increasingly prevalent, it is essential to understand and stay informed about the main techniques cybercriminals use to steal passwords and access credentials.

Nowadays, all businesses rely on extensive IT equipment, including computers, printers, storage systems, mobile devices, and tablets. However, all of this equipment requires regular maintenance to address performance issues, fix vulnerabilities, or update the operating system.

Performing poor maintenance on this IT equipment or neglecting it altogether can impact its performance or compromise its security. In today’s article, we will explore the consequences of poor IT maintenance on your company’s technological devices.

Cybersecurity has become one of the most important aspects to ensure the future of a company. 70% of cyberattacks target PYMEs, and it is estimated that approximately 60% of these businesses close within six months after suffering an attack.

Spain is one of the most cyberattacked countries, with nearly 40,000 daily threats. Notable attacks include DDoS (distributed denial of service), DoS (denial of service), ransomware attacks, and phishing.
