AI in Cybersecurity: Challenges and Opportunities
As generative AI is increasingly adopted, on the one hand it lowers the barrier to entry for cybercriminals and allows them to customize their attacks, increasing the risk to businesses and infrastructure, but on the other it also improves threat detection and response capabilities and cloud security.
Telefónica Tech partners with some of the world's top cybersecurity and AI leaders. Through these collaborations, the company is building a full portfolio of security automation use cases, combined with the expertise of experts from multiple Security Operations Centers (SOCs), to provide advanced threat detection and response capabilities in markets across Europe, Latin America, and the US.
In addition, with cyber intelligence services provided from its Digital Operations Centers (DOC) in Madrid and Colombia, and in collaboration with more than 2,500 cybersecurity operations experts who process 350,000 security event tickets and around 500,000 alerts per year (13,000 of which are critical), Telefónica Tech provides expert guidance and intelligence in real time, 24/7, helping companies effectively identify and mitigate security risks.
