Description: External threats are those that originate outside the organization or network, and they represent a significant risk to information security and systems. These threats can manifest in various forms, including cyberattacks, malware, phishing, and other malicious tactics aimed at compromising the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data. In an increasingly digitized environment, where organizations rely on cloud services, the Internet of Things (IoT), and automation, identifying and mitigating these threats has become crucial. Cloud security, for example, involves protecting data and applications hosted on third-party platforms, while security orchestration refers to the integration of various tools and processes to effectively respond to security incidents. Data loss prevention focuses on preventing sensitive information from being disclosed or stolen, and IoT security addresses the risks associated with connected devices. Automation and response enable organizations to react quickly to incidents, and the DevSecOps approach integrates security practices into the software development lifecycle. Security solutions also play an important role in protecting against external threats by providing tools to detect and neutralize attacks.
