The Director of Information Security at CyberSecur, Alberto Afonso, in his approach, pointed out the lack of qualified professionals, counter-measures and failure to identify real threats in the face of various signs, such as the main security vulnerabilities in the country. The Second Edition of the “CyberSecur Summit”, which ends today, aims, in addition to the thematic approach on cybersecurity, to provide strategies to combat computer crimes. The organizers consider that the issue of Cyber Security is dominant and has led to the idea that the ideal is to stop exposing companies in cyberspace.
