05 May Cyber security: the threats your company doesn't see and how to protect yourself

It was an ordinary Tuesday. O ERP production is running as usual. Suddenly, the screens freeze. Red messages demand payment in cryptocurrency. Production stops. Cash flow stagnates. And the reputation, built up over years, begins to crumble within hours.

Only then do many companies realize that security cybernetics is not a secondary line in the IT budget.

The problem is that, in the age of Artificial intelligence Generative, criminals exploit loopholes with speed and precision. Traditional defenses, designed for a different era, can't keep up.

In the following sections, you will understand how threats have evolved, why old defenses are no longer enough and how to protect your operation, data and your company's reputation.

What it is and how it works security cybernetics?

THE cybersecurity goes far beyond installing an antivirus. In practice, the answer requires more depth.

Safety cybernetics is an ecosystem of technologies and processes designed specifically for protecting networks, operating systems and confidential data against unauthorized access and premeditated damage.

It rests on three main pillars.

• the right technology to detect anomalies;
• clear processes for responding to incidents;
• teams trained to operate with security on a daily basis.

One of the most important points in achieving security cyber in your company is to abandon the reactive mentality.

The question is no longer “if” the company will suffer an attack, but “when” and how quickly it can isolate the threat and keep the operation running.

How Artificial intelligence transformed cyber threats?

Cybercrime is no longer the action of a lone hacker. Today, it operates like global corporations. There are groups specialized in finding vulnerabilities, others in developing malicious code and others in carrying out extortion.

The advance of Artificial intelligence has further accelerated this process. Whether used by criminals or as a new vulnerability. This is why Gartner estimates that by 2028, around 25% of deployed AI agents may suffer from violations of security.

The aggressors use major language models (LLMs) to map exposed infrastructures and generate highly accurate attack scripts. Automated tools even modify their own code structures in the middle of the invasion to avoid blocking static systems. The result delivers a leap in efficiency that compromises IT teams used to old tactics.

What are the cyber attacks that most threaten your business today?

Attackers rarely try to force their way in. They prefer to use the credentials of the company's own staff.

The most critical threats circulating in the B2B environment include;

Identity-based attacks (Stolen Credentials)

Hackers gain access on the black market. Once inside the network with the digital profile of a manager or director, they move freely through financial systems without triggering conventional alarms.

Phishing and Vishing

O generic fake email, known as phishing, was perfected with the artificial intelligence generative.

Currently, texts are generated by AI, perfectly mimicking the tone of voice of corporate management and eliminating spelling mistakes.

In addition, in cloud environments, the vishing (voice phishing) is emerging as the main vector of attacks. Criminals use AI to clone executives' voices and order transfers of privileged access over the phone.

Ransomware

Data hijacking for ransom demands is one of the biggest digital threats. It is malicious software (malware) used to hijack data from a user or organization, encrypting the files to make them inaccessible.

One Statista survey indicates that in 2025, almost 63% of companies worldwide were affected by ransomware attacks.

Currently, attackers first exfiltrate all sensitive information to their servers.

If the organization refuses the redemption payment, The threat of data leaks intensifies, generating irreparable image crises and heavy fines.

Insider threats and cloud failures

Configuration errors and excessive active permissions open up loopholes that don't depend on any sophisticated external attack to cause damage.

How can you protect your company's infrastructure from invisible attacks?

To deal with large-scale threats, protection needs to operate at the same level. This starts with adoption of Zero Trust. In other words, no device or user is considered trustworthy by default. Each access is checked continuously, regardless of where or by whom it is made.

At the same time, it is essential to have Defensive AI in real time.

The technology analyzes thousands of daily accesses, filters out false positives and isolates suspicious behavior before damage occurs. For example, if a credential starts acting strangely in the early hours of the morning, access is automatically revoked.

Finally, the way is abandon solutions isolated that don't communicate. Modern architectures require unified platforms that protect the flow of information regardless of where the team is working, with continuous monitoring and consistent performance.

Why choose the partnership between MPL and Fortinet for business cybersecurity?

Many of the failures of security happens because companies treat cybersecurity in isolation or leave it until they are victims of an attack.

Instead of following this approach, the MPL uses its extensive experience to accurately analyze the vulnerabilities in your company's infrastructure. In this way, it is able to deploy defenses exactly where they are needed, preventing breaches and strengthening the security in an efficient and personalized way.

THE partnership with Fortinet, global leader in cybersecurity with more than 50 solutions experts and recognized in the Gartner® 2025 Magic Quadrant™ with the FortiSASE, enhances this model.

Don't wait for an incident to happen.
