The Mobile World Congress (MWC) is one of the most outstanding technological events worldwide that is being held at the Gran Via de Fira in Barcelona from this Monday until March 6, welcoming industry giants. Telefónica is part of this event for another year and will present some of the Advanced Capabilities of the Center for Digital Operations (DOC) of Telefónica Tech with which the cybersecurity and cloud services of its customers globally monitor and operate.
For years, companies, governments and even individuals are in the spotlight of cybercriminals, therefore, it becomes more urgent than ever having strategies that protect the digital security of these individuals and organizations. That is why thanks to the demo of Telefónica “Digital Operations Center”, Attendees of this event will have the opportunity to meet first hand the daily work of a cybersecurity expert. They can also participate with them in decision -making before simulated security incidents such as a “ransmware” attack, in which the offender blocks or information figure and asks the affected user for money in exchange for returning their data.
The demo will exhibit three cases of interactive use. In the first, attendees can analyze together with these experts The different steps they can take when it is detected that the same IP has tried to access, apparently failed, to multiple users at the same time.
In the second case they will face a data escape and its publication in the “Dark Web”. The company will show how the team that is responsible for providing knowledge about the intentions and skills of cybercriminalsallows you to anticipate attacks and “design more efficient responses relying on integral cybersecurity solutions,” explains this company.
An organization attacked by a “ransomware” will be the last case of use. Cybersecurity experts They will explain to the attendees the steps that must be followed to identify and solve it Using detection and response services managed, achieving a null or minimum impact on the client.
Also, Telefónica will demonstrate the double role that the artificial intelligence (AI) In the world of cybersecuritysince this technology can not only improve the detection and response to incidents, but it can also be used to perform more sophisticated attacks. Therefore, it will stage an attack in which a generative AI will launch orders to steal the access credentials to the business application of a manager; and another that will be able to detect and notify this attack.
Telefónica’s DOC operations team managed more than 50 Cyberotechnologies and identified more than 290,000 threats through threat intelligence in 2024. More than 370,000 EDR tools were also deployed in Endpoint Detection Response, a system for the protection of the company’s equipment and infrastructure -and more than 50,000 hours of “Penteting” and “Red Team” -security evaluations in which controlled attacks are simulated to detect possible vulnerabilities in companies were performed.
