Cybersecurity: why complexity is the real enemy

We live in a time when cybersecurity has become a top priority for companies in every sector. However, many organizations find themselves fighting an unequal battle: not against increasingly sophisticated hackers, but against the complexity of their IT infrastructures.

According to a recent survey by Gartner, 99 per cent of security breaches are caused by configuration errors. This alarming figure tells us one thing clearly: it is not enough to have the best technologies, you need expert, centralized security management to protect corporate networks effectively.

Security without visibility = vulnerability

Companies today operate in distributed and hybrid environments, with resources on clouds, on-premises data centers and connected devices from all over the world. This fragmentation makes it increasingly difficult to have full control over one’s security.

The questions every IT manager should be asking are:

• Do I know exactly what threats are affecting my network right now?
• Do I have full visibility of who is accessing my systems and from where?
• Am I sure that security policies are applied consistently across my infrastructure?

If even one of these questions is not answered with certainty, it means that your network security could be at risk.

The Italtel approach: expert management, proactive security

To meet these challenges, at Italtel we have developed Italtel Managed Cisco Secure Firewall, a managed service that enables businesses to simplify security, increase visibility and unify network protection operations:

• End-to-End Protection: from initial configuration to day-to-day management and 24-hour monitoring
• Comprehensive visibility: real-time analysis to prevent, detect and respond to cyber attacks.
• Continuous optimization: updates and policies always aligned to new threats.
• Greater efficiency for IT: business teams can focus on strategic tasks, leaving security management to dedicated experts.

In addition, Italtel has the highest level of Cisco partnerships, both as a Provider and as an Integrator, guaranteeing technological standards of excellence for corporate security.

Information security: a strategic asset

Investing in centralized security management is not just a technological choice, but a strategic one. The threat landscape is evolving rapidly, and companies must be able to adapt at the same speed. A reactive approach is no longer enough: prevention, automation and a clear, unified view of corporate security are needed.

Today more than ever, security is not just about protection, but an enabler of innovation. With a secure and effectively managed network, companies can grow, innovate and operate with peace of mind.
