SEGURIDAD CIBERNÉTICA: AMENAZAS EMERGENTES Y ESTRATEGIAS DE DEFENSA

Abstract

This article titled "Cyber ​​Security: Emerging Threats and Defense Strategies" addresses the growing challenge that cyber threats represent in today's world, highlighting the importance of developing innovative and effective defense strategies. Through a mixed methodological approach, which combines qualitative and quantitative analyses, this study provides a comprehensive view of the evolution of cyber threats and responses to them. The research reveals a significant increase in the sophistication and volume of cyber attacks over the past decade, marked by more intensive use of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning by attackers. Findings derived from interviews with cybersecurity experts emphasize the need to adopt a proactive and intelligence-based approach, underscoring the relevance of continuous training and awareness at all organizational levels. In addition, the importance of international cooperation and information exchange is highlighted as key elements to strengthen defense against emerging threats. Quantitative research confirms an increase in the frequency and economic and social impact of cyber incidents, evidencing a positive correlation between the adoption of advanced detection and response technologies and the decrease in the incidence of successful attacks. This study concludes that cybersecurity requires constant adaptation and evolution of security practices, integrating advanced technological solutions, continuing education, and solid international cooperation, to mitigate the risks associated with cyberspace.
