Increasing technological progress has led to an accelerated digital transformation of organizations, which makes digital information systems dynamic, more complex and increasingly exposed. Organizations depend on a growing number of interconnected and constantly updated technologies, often resulting in complete ignorance of their digital infrastructure and assets (e.g. components such as applications, databases, servers, devices, accounts or any other that could be exploited). On the other hand, current offerings in the cybersecurity market are mostly defensive and reactive options, more focused on regulatory compliance and incident management than on prevention. Since the root of cybercrime is the exploitation of vulnerabilities, their identification and rapid mitigation is key to preventing it.
The main objective of this project is to deepen the research and development of Ethiack Portal, a platform that will combine automatic and manual ethical hacking with Artificial Intelligence to enable the continuous and accurate identification of vulnerabilities with a high level of automation and autonomy in different types of digital assets and infrastructures.
