En los últimos años, las amenazas cibernéticas vuelven a ser prioridad para todo tipo de organizaciones. La situación geopolítica mundial es cada día más inestable, provocando un aumento de los conflictos y las amenazas. Como resultado, los profesionales de la inteligencia sobre amenazas cibernéticas (CTI, por sus siglas en inglés) enfrentan grandes retos para proporcionar inteligencia práctica a las partes interesadas en el manejo de un mundo cada vez más dinámico.
As the cyber threat landscape continues to evolve, the past year has presented unique challenges and opportunities for cyber threat intelligence professionals. For 2025, availability has become a critical focus within the CIA triad, with ransomware and service outages high on the agenda, and network defenders and CTI analysts acutely aware of the impact of large-scale network disruptions. Additionally, AI remains a double-edged sword, with both adversarial and beneficial applications advancing rapidly.
