More than 1,500 digital security specialists participated in a virtual edition of Mundo Hacker Day, one of the most influential meetings on cybersecurity and hacking in Spain. The event brought together experts to discuss current cybercrime challenges and strategies to address them.

Through more than 30 talks and workshops, industry professionals shared their expertise in system protection, emerging threats and how technology is redefining the digital security landscape.

These are some of the main ideas that were highlighted and that are also relevant to the Mexican context:

1. Technological dispersion demands greater control

One of the biggest challenges today is distributed infrastructure. Organizations have moved from centralized models to complex environments, with multiple accesses and locations. This requires tighter control and tools to effectively monitor data flow.

2. The cloud is secure, but requires co-responsibility

Cloud security is not only the responsibility of the provider. Companies must also implement measures to protect their digital assets, establishing clear policies and making sure they communicate their needs to their technology partners.

3. Beyond banking fraud

Today, attacks are not limited to the financial sector. Large technology companies and other industries are being targeted by complex cyberattacks.

This shows that cybersecurity must be a priority in all economic sectors.

4. Digital organized crime is on the rise

Cybercriminal groups are becoming more professional, even recruiting employees from within companies to facilitate illegal access. This poses a major challenge for internal security strategies.

5. Digital “noise” as a weapon

The use of radiojamming, which interferes with communications, continues to be used as a sabotage tactic. This form of attack has been reported in recent conflicts and is a risk in strategic environments such as the military or critical infrastructure.

6. Blockchain technology will be cross-cutting

Crypto technology and tokenization are expanding beyond finance. These tools will enable more secure and instant transactions in sectors such as health, transportation and industry, something Mexico could explore in its digital transformation.

7. Digital health as a priority

The healthcare sector has been one of the most targeted, especially during the pandemic. As medical records are digitized, it is essential to strengthen digital defenses and train medical personnel in good security practices.

8. Innovation in the automotive industry

The evolution towards connected cars implies cyber risks. The development of technologies such as blockchain and smart connectivity in the automotive industry requires new protection strategies, also applicable to Mexico's drive in the automotive sector.

9. Automation for SMEs: with caution

Many small and medium-sized companies have opted for automated solutions to protect themselves, which is positive, but requires proper configuration and monitoring. Technology without strategy can be as risky as no protection at all.

10. Innovate to stay one step ahead

Artificial intelligence, malicious code analysis (sandbox), and the use of public information (OSINT) are key tools for anticipating cyberattacks. Experts agree that technological innovation must go hand in hand with security strategies.

Although the event took place in Spain, its conclusions apply perfectly to the Mexican reality. The increase of digital threats in our country and the accelerated digital transformation make it urgent to adopt these recommendations. Collaboration between users, companies and government will be key to strengthen national cybersecurity.
