Fischbein agrees 100% with his colleague\u2019s analysis and adds that education and training can help prevent such incidents from occurring. \u201cSimulating such a blackout is impossible, it has never been done,\u201d he acknowledges, but he is committed to strengthening personal and team training and risk awareness.<\/p>\n

Increased defense and cybersecurity budgets <\/h2>\n

In 2025, industry watchers expect there will be an increase in the public budget allocated to defense. In Spain, one-third of the budget will be allocated to increasing cybersecurity. But for Fischbein, training teams<\/a> is much more important than the budget.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe challenge is to distribute the budget in a way that can be managed,\u201d he notes, and to leverage intuitive and easy-to-use platforms, so that organizations don\u2019t have to invest all the money in training. \u201cWhen you have information, management, users, devices, mobiles, data centers, clouds, cameras, printers\u2026 the security challenge is very complex. You have to look for a security platform that makes things easier, faster, and simpler,\u201d he says. \u201d Today there are excellent tools that can stop all kinds of attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSince 2010, there have been cybersecurity systems, also from Check Point, that help prevent this type of incident from happening, but I\u2019m not sure that [Spain\u2019s electricity blackout] was a cyberattack<\/strong>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n

Leading the way in email security <\/h2>\n

According to Gartner\u2019s Magic Quadrant, Check Point is the leader in email security platforms. Today email is still responsible for 88% of all malicious file distributions. Attacks that, as Fischbein explains, enter through phishing, spam, SMS, or QR codes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are two challenges: to stop the threats and not to disturb, because if the security tool is a nuisance it causes more harm than good. It is very important that the solution does not annoy [users],\u201d he stresses. \u201cAs almost all attacks enter via e-mail, it is very important that the security tool gives you the information, the loads, and the alerts. With our tool, it takes very little time to understand what happened. We are very pleased to lead this area,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

With 23 years at Check Point and 30 years in the cybersecurity world, Fischbein says the main challenge for the CISO of a company like Check Point is to convey and demonstrate confidence to customers and suppliers. \u201cOur company\u2019s job is to put together the security tools that are going to help stop threats in companies of all sizes. If we can\u2019t secure Check Point internally, then we have a big problem in securing the world,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
