Iris Garcia shared thisGreat perspective—and something many organizations are still underestimating. The 2026 World Cup will bring one of the biggest spikes in digital traffic we’ve ever seen. But attackers won’t go after infrastructure. They’ll go after APIs. And not just the ones you know. ⚽ You can’t protect what you don’t see. IG Technologies + Cequence Security Are you protecting all your APIs… or just the ones you know about? Open to a quick exchange on API security for high-traffic events: https://lnkd.in/enQc6qKY #CyberSecurity #APISecurity #AppSec #CISO #CyberRisk #ZeroTrust #WorldCup2026Iris Garcia shared thisThe 2026 World Cup won’t just be a sporting event. It will be one of the largest spikes in digital traffic we will see. Millions of users buying tickets, booking travel, and connecting to platforms in real time. But while fans are getting ready for the game… attackers are already preparing to score. They don’t attack your infrastructure. They attack your APIs. And they don’t need to see them. They just need you not to. ⚽ In the digital World Cup, the only ones offside should be the hackers. Not your application. Zero goals on your API. IG Technologies + Cequence Security Are you protecting all your APIs… or just the ones you know about? Don’t wait until attackers find your APIs first.

Iris Garcia shared thisToday we celebrate International Women’s Day — a day to recognize the strength, resilience, and impact of women around the world. Women continue to break barriers in every industry, from technology and cybersecurity to entrepreneurship and community leadership. Yet there is still work to do to ensure that every woman and girl has the opportunity to learn, grow, lead, and thrive. Through my work with Women Voice Network, I see every day the power of education, mentorship, and opportunity to transform lives. When we invest in women, we invest in stronger families, stronger communities, and a stronger future. Today is not only a day to celebrate achievements, but also a reminder to continue supporting, empowering, and uplifting one another. To all the women who are leading, building, innovating, and inspiring — today we celebrate you. Happy International Women’s Day. #InternationalWomensDay #WomenInLeadership #WomenInTech #EmpowerWomen #WomenVoiceNetwork

Iris Garcia shared thisMost organizations still run quarterly vulnerability scans and believe they are secure. But attackers don’t work quarterly. 100+ new vulnerabilities appear every day 44 days is the average time before exploitation 20% of attacks involve unpatched vulnerabilities Frameworks like PCI DSS 4.0 define the minimum requirement, not the level needed to stay protected today. The real challenge isn’t detecting vulnerabilities anymore. It’s remediating them fast enough. Security teams are now shifting from vulnerability management → continuous remediation. Solutions like Vicarius vRx help organizations prioritize real threats and automate remediation before attackers exploit them. Curious to hear from others: How is your team managing vulnerability remediation today? #CyberSecurity #PCI #VulnerabilityManagement #RiskManagementIris Garcia shared thisToday, many organizations believe they are “secure” because they perform vulnerability scans every 3 months - but PCI DSS 4.0 (Sec. 11.3.1) only sets the minimum requirement, not the level needed to stay protected in today’s threat landscape. 🔐 100+ new vulnerabilities appear every day ⏳ 44 days is the average exploitation window ⚠️ 20% of attacks come from unpatched vulnerabilities The real challenge in compliance isn’t detecting… 👉 it’s remediating on time. Manual patching, quarterly scans, and endless prioritization spreadsheets are no longer enough to keep up. That’s where Vicarius vRx changes the game. ✔ Continuous vulnerability analysis ✔ Patchless protection & automated remediation ✔ Real-world exploitation-based prioritization ✔ Faster remediation across OS, apps, and cloud ✔ Audit-ready PCI DSS reporting ✨ Less risk. More compliance. Zero friction. If PCI DSS 4.0 compliance is on your roadmap, it's time to move beyond quarterly scans. 👉 Discover how Vicarius vRx enables continuous vulnerability remediation: https://lnkd.in/eVgwpAqd #CyberSecurity #PCIDSS #VulnerabilityManagement #ExposureManagement #Automation #Compliance #Vicarius

Iris Garcia reposted thisIris Garcia reposted thisLa mayoría de las empresas no tiene un problema de falta de herramientas. Tiene un problema de falta de visibilidad real sobre su superficie de ataque. El perímetro cambia todos los días: nuevos assets, nuevas exposiciones, nuevas vulnerabilidades. Pero mientras los pentests tradicionales son una foto, la seguridad ofensiva continua es una película. El próximo miércoles 25 de febrero voy a estar mostrando en vivo cómo las organizaciones están pasando de evaluaciones puntuales a validación continua 24/7 de su postura de seguridad, con visibilidad real y accionable. En esta live demo de la nueva Plataforma de Strike vamos a cubrir: • cómo descubrir todos los activos expuestos automáticamente • cómo validar vulnerabilidades con emulación ofensiva real • cómo priorizar lo que realmente representa riesgo • cómo transformar la seguridad ofensiva en un proceso continuo, no en un evento aislado Si te interesa participar, comentá "demo" o envíame un mensaje y te comparto el acceso.

Iris Garcia reposted thisIris Garcia reposted thisLarge organizations no longer run generic awareness programs. They activate their Human Firewall. Telefónica Tech demonstrated it with Kymatio - Activa tus Firewalls Humanos: 🔹 75% improvement in identifying high-risk profiles 🔹 60% increase in personalized recommendations 🔹 100% integration with corporate programs It’s not about more training. It’s about detecting real vulnerabilities, prioritizing based on exposure levels, and acting where risk is highest. That’s evolution. That’s cybersecurity maturity. At IG Technologies, we help organizations transform traditional awareness into a risk-based strategy grounded in real exposure. Has your company already activated its Human Firewall? #Kymatio #HumanRisk #IGTechnologies #Cybersecurity

Iris Garcia liked thisIris Garcia liked thisToday is World Backup Day. But this isn’t about backing up data… It’s about surviving an incident. Many companies believe they’re protected until the moment they actually need to recover their information. And that’s when everything changes: • Incomplete backups • Failed recoveries • Unacceptable recovery times The problem isn’t having backups. It’s not knowing whether they actually work. Today, the conversation is no longer about storage. It’s about resilience. At IG Technologies, we help organizations validate, protect, and ensure their operations continue - even in the face of an attack. 👉 Could your company recover today? #WorldBackupDay #CyberSecurity #DataProtection #Ransomware #BusinessContinuity #IGT
