At Bancamiga, cybersecurity is a core pillar of business continuity and its reputation. In an ecosystem where trust is the most valuable asset, protecting data integrity is a strategic business imperative.

For Sergio Saggese, Executive Director of Technology, Processes, and Information Security at Bancamiga, digital transformation is a change in business models and a necessity to compete in today’s markets. However, the accelerated pace of digital transformation has broadened the scope of exposure to cyberattacks. These attacks are perpetrated in a highly sophisticated manner, primarily aimed at blocking critical operations to demand ransoms, using techniques that employ Artificial Intelligence to emulate voices or legitimate banking platforms.

During the conference “Managing the Digital Age: Cybersecurity Implications for Businesses,” delivered this Wednesday to students at Monteávila University, Saggese stated that attacks occur daily and companies must protect themselves. It is essential to understand that there are threats and what those threats are.

“Cybercrime takes advantage of human error, whether by action or omission, misconfigurations, and vulnerable code. There are targeted attacks that utilize third-party connections and interconnected devices, which serve as entry points to internal networks. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link,” he indicated.

He expressed that digital transformation is inevitable to offer agile, personalized, and competitive services that are securely structured from the design stage on four pillars: cloud adoption, AI, the Internet of Things, and data analytics.

For Bancamiga’s CEO, Sergio Saggese, the question today isn’t “whether we will be attacked,” but rather “how quickly will we detect, respond to, and recover from an attempted attack?”

To protect an organization, it’s necessary to shift from a reactive approach to a proactive and defensive stance. The starting point should be “never trust, always verify.” Every access request, whether from inside or outside the network, must be constantly authenticated, authorized, and validated. Continuous training for employees and partners, with content tailored to the customer experience, is also key. It’s essential to strengthen monitoring capabilities and prepare for the moment of an attack.

Saggese maintained that there must be a comprehensive and holistic process for managing cybersecurity, and this is where the focus on cyber resilience —an organization’s ability to anticipate, resist, confront, and recover from adverse cyberattacks— becomes crucial.

“It’s about strengthening the company’s capacity to resist and respond. Cybersecurity isn’t just about resisting, but about navigating the storm.”

The conference attendees, mostly first-year engineering students, expressed their gratitude with words and applause for the concepts presented by Saggese, recognizing their contribution to their holistic development.

Blizzard has announced the return of its conference for the BlizzCon player community in person, which will be held on November 3 and 4 of this year, and in which events and announcements of updates and news from the company are expected.

Four years after its last face-to-face event, the video game development company has set a date for its next BlizzCon conference, which will be held, as usual, at the Anaheim Convention Center (Los Angeles, United States).

Following the crisis resulting from the coronavirus pandemic, Blizzard canceled the celebration of its annual event in 2020 and announced a digital format for the celebration in 2021 adopting the name BlizzConline. However, in 2022 the company chose not to hold its conference due to the reporting of cases of harassment and discrimination against female employees within the company.

Now, the video game developer intends to return to normality with the return of BlizzCon in person, on November 3 and 4 of this year, in an event in which it is expected to announce news and updates about its latest important titles, like Diablo or Overwatch.

Thus, Blizzard has encouraged its community of players to participate in the event, either to “hang out with friends you can only see online” or to “find out what’s next” for the developer’s universes. However, they have also reported that they will share more details about the show “next month”, with data such as ticket sales, cosplay and other “competition details”.

“It is the community that has always made this event so special, and we are looking forward to seeing you all again,” the video game developer said in a statement on its website.

At this year’s event, as Microsoft points out on the event’s website, the conferences will revolve around the cloud, artificial intelligence, development tools and other data and analysis.

Microsoft is also expected to present advances on Windows 11 as well as new versions of its Bing search engine and its Edge browser powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and supported by the ChatGPT chatbot developed by OpenIA.

Following this line, the OpenIA company, which collaborates with Microsoft, presented on Tuesday the latest generation of its GPT-4 language model with greater capacity for reasoning and for generating content from text and images. Microsoft has even confirmed that GPT-4 has been powering its search engine for several weeks.

The company will also broadcast the conference live and publish the different sessions after its conclusion, as reported by Twitter in a statement. Whatever the format, the company will share in this event the innovations of the developers, the opportunities it will offer and “some surprises”.

Along with the event, the company also announced a challenge, Chirp Developer Challenge, with which it will reward the best uses of the Twitter API v2 in the categories of content discovery applications, tools for secure conversations and applications for the common good.

Twitter first held its developer conference in 2010, albeit intermittently, with a new attempt in 2015 under the name Twitter Flight, which also paused until this new Chirp announcement.

The social network LinkedIn recently launched its own video calling function, which is integrated into its platform’s chat, offering users a way to connect and communicate without having to download an application or leave the web.

The new application was developed jointly with Azure, Microsoft’s communication services platform, the company to which the social network belongs. And it becomes part of the deployment that LinkedIn has been making in terms of new and more dynamic visual tools within its platform, such as stories or live broadcasts.

The incorporation of video calls is a great strength because it allows users to live a more comfortable and complete experience that provides complementary information within the video call, which will be present in the profile of the members, seen at the bottom of the video.

This attribute guarantees added value, particularly in the job search, by promoting a more dynamic environment for interviews or meetings in the future. The new tool will be deployed to all users of the social network throughout this week.

According to what was expressed by the representatives of the social network, with this new application it is guaranteed “from an initial job search to a 1: 1 conversation. We wanted to boost the productivity of our members from start to finish, while we kept safe. By adding video conferencing as part of the messaging experience, members can virtually connect while maintaining the context of their existing conversation.”

The initiative will have an initial phase of development that will be available for personal video calls, but they plan to expand it to incorporate several members to the meetings. They are also working on facilitating the connection, which is why when terms related to video calls appear in the conversation, a button will appear to speed up the process and start the conference.
