    Cybersecurité

    Staying secure in a cyber-driven world

    Cybersecurity is a fast-moving, ever-evolving and increasingly critical area of risk and concern for nearly every organization around the globe. Recent geopolitical events have reshaped the threat landscape, causing increases in hacktivist activity and cybercrime. Threat actors have also evolved their tactics and increased their capabilities.  

    Phishing remains the most common vulnerability for organizations, but there has been a significant rise in attacks against availability, particularly DDoS. The ever-expanding role of data in the modern economy has led to an escalation in the amount of data being collected and analyzed. Simultaneously, the number of personal data compromises has also climbed dramatically.  

    ADVANT Altana has extensive experience – drawing upon a range of areas of expertise including criminal law, IT and data, employment, etc. – to address even the most complex of cybersecurity considerations and challenges.
