In an increasingly interconnected world, the Catalan company cdmon has issued a warning about the growing need to strengthen cybersecurity for both businesses and individual users. According to Jaume R. Palau, the company’s director, while artificial intelligence (AI) offers certain advantages, it also presents new risks that must be considered. “It is crucial to prepare for AIs designed to attack,” states Palau.
David Blanch, cdmon’s digital director, adds that the nature of vulnerabilities has changed, emphasizing that cybercriminals have adapted their methods. “They are no longer limited to brute-forcing passwords; they are automating processes to target a larger number of people, many of whom lack adequate digital protections,” he explains. Blanch warns that any entity can become a target, from online stores to personal blogs, and many attacks are so subtle that they go unnoticed until it’s too late.
With an eye on 2025, cyberattacks are expected to become even more sophisticated. Criminals’ tactics have modernized, prioritizing identity theft and exploiting vulnerabilities in popular platforms like WordPress and Joomla. “This issue is not limited to large corporations; anyone can become a target,” emphasizes Blanch.
In response to this growing threat, cdmon has developed a series of best practices to protect online security. One key recommendation is to choose a hosting provider that includes advanced protections in their service, with no hidden costs. In this regard, cdmon offers measures such as anti-DDoS protection, firewalls, and early alerts about potential incidents in its plans.
Blanch stresses that “the key to good hosting service is no longer just about price, but about the options they offer in terms of security.” He also advises users to keep their websites updated, use two-step verification, implement SSL certificates, and constantly monitor their site activity. All of this is part of a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity, an increasingly essential aspect in today’s digital age.
