Cybersecurity:
397 threats per minute
FCC brings together
international
cybersecurity experts at
the Las Tablas
headquarters
The Spanish Association for the Promotion
of Information Security, ISMS Forum Spain,
held a session at the FCC headquarters in
Las Tablas, with the collaboration of the Citi-
zen Services Group, the host of the seminar,
and Intel Security.
The topics discussed included the problem
posed by phishing or identity theft as well
as the interoperability of the security archi-
tecture (the ability of information systems of
exchanging and using information) which
represents an important tool to face these
threats thanks to the communication among
the security control systems.
Manuel España, the director of FCC Sys-
tems, was in charge of welcoming the
guests and, during his presentation, stres-
sed the important role of the Group in the
area of cybersecurity. The Group has been
a member of the Spanish Association for
the Promotion of Information Security since
its inception and participates actively in ini-
tiatives such as Cyber-ex, organised by this
organisation whose aim is to build aware-
ness and improve corporate resilience. Intel
Security was represented by Raj Samanl,
an active member of the information secu-
rity industry who participates in numerous
initiatives to improve knowledge and the
application of information security measu-
res in companies and in the community. He
analysed the current situation in the industry
and shared his vision on the necessity of the
interoperability of security architectures.
In his speech, he mentioned a very signifi-
cant aspect: the number of new threats are
estimated at 397 per minute. Samanl spoke
of the possibility of preventing these threats
as well as well as on the most frequent
“attack vector” for companies.
The session ended with a message to build
awareness in companies so that they can
improve their ability to detect and respond
to Persistent and Advanced Threats (PATs)
and other attacks by means of security ar-
chitectures that make it possible to respond
quickly to security incidents.
The objective
of the meeting was
to promote corporate
awareness
and resilience
