Homo sapiens, the weak link of information security

Abstract

Information is one of the most important assets that an organization has and is normally generated by automated systems. Depending on who should use it, it is possible that these systems have to make predictions or unstructured decisions in which AI (artificial intelligence) helps this process. The information has the particularity to have a very important attribute that is the validity time. There is information that should be treated immediately as is the case of the one produced in networks located in industrial environments or at the
tip of the pyramid of the organization where its treatment for subsistence is essential. That
information must be protected from different threats. And at this point is when those responsible for organizations must be aware of the potential risk of losing valuable information. It is no longer enough to think if the threat is met or not, we just have to ask when it will happen. The best way to protect data is to manage and reduce the computer risks that can affect a system, both in its operational capacity and in the possibility of generating risks in
public health and safety, through the generation of good practices, the early detection of suspicious activities through artificial intelligence and the creation of compact encryption algorithms that neutralize threats
