"Cyber attacks are a global epidemic and it is a matter of time for every company to become a victim," Krasimir Kotsev, Director of Information Security at the TAD Group, warns.
The introduction of more and more technology into our daily lives is certainly a priority for cybersecurity, experts have emphasized. Hit attacks have become one of the leading media news in recent years. There are increasingly frequent and widespread attacks on large international companies, state institutions, and against ordinary people, amounting to millions of losses. Cyber threats are increasing over the past day, and ways of protection and response become more and more complex.
"We have to assume that the question is not whether, but when will the security breach come and prepare in advance for it. In addition to financial losses, the companies that have been attacked suffer huge reputational damages, "said Diana Damianova, PR expert. In her words, reputation is a tremendous value for any company, and a breakthrough in it can not be overcome by years. Unlike financial parameters, reputation is the emotional connection of society, audience and clients with the company, explained Damianova. A survey of 250 IT and business leaders last year shows that 44% of respondents have no developed and implemented cyber-attack action plan. The data is "new gold" and represents the greatest value in the era of high technology, experts have pointed out. As such assets they are subject to legal protection. Almost the entire information range of companies is classified as personal data. Data controllers are already all commercial companies and state and municipal administrations, according to the EU GDPR regulation, which sets the legal framework for personal data.
