Enterprises and individuals in Brazil are
both falling victims to increasingly sophisticated phishing
attempts, ISG Provider Lens™ report says
Many Brazilian enterprises are still struggling
to quickly and effectively adopt the tools and solutions needed to
counteract growing cyberthreats in all economic sectors, according
to a new research report published today by Information Services
Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and
advisory firm.
The 2024 ISG Provider Lens™ Cybersecurity - Solutions and
Services report for Brazil says Brazilian enterprises must
reinforce their protection and resilience efforts against a
backdrop of increasing cyberattacks. These companies must take the
initiative to build a secure environment, not only by adopting
technologies and best practices but also by developing a security
mindset throughout the organization, but especially at the C-level,
the ISG report says.
“Many Brazilian companies are finding it challenging to muster a
sufficiently specialized team that can effectively counter security
threats,” said Doug Saylors, partner, co-lead, ISG Cybersecurity.
“As a result, the role of solution and service providers takes on
even greater relevance and responsibility.”
One of the top threats facing Brazilian enterprises and
individuals alike is “phishing,” the ISG report says. Phishing is
an online fraud technique criminals use in electronic communication
to trick individuals into revealing personal information, such as
passwords and credit card details, by pretending to be a
trustworthy entity. According to the report, there has been a
significant increase in phishing attempts in Brazil, involving both
corporate and personal emails. These attempts have grown steadily
in sophistication, with increasingly well-worded messages aimed at
gaining advantages, such as paying fake bills and providing
personal data that enables criminals to carry out subsequent
attacks, ISG says.
Recognizing and avoiding these attacks are crucial to protecting
online security, the ISG report says. To counteract this threat,
enterprises must take a multifaceted approach, adopting strategies
and practices to protect themselves from both phishing attempts and
from the use of data that has already been exposed, the report
says. Solutions to such attacks include access controls, multi
factor authentication (MFA), advanced e-mail filters and regular
training, as well as careful segregation of work and personal use
on mobile devices, ISG says.
“Too many companies in Brazil are still taking a reactive
approach when prioritizing investments in cybersecurity,” said Jan
Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research.
“By delaying the adoption of new cybersecurity solutions and
services, Brazilian enterprises are attracting an increasingly
well-instrumented global hacker community.”
The report also examines how extended detection and response
(XDR) is becoming the evolutionary platform of a cybersecurity
command center.

Brazilian enterprises, along with ISG’s recommendations for
addressing them, see the ISG Provider Lens™ Focal Points briefing
