Q: What added value does Cyberpeace bring to the market and how does the company differ from more traditional approaches? 
A: We differentiate ourselves in the market by being a cybersecurity-only company, not a solutions integrator. Many companies have evolved from integrating various brands to offering cybersecurity services due to the growing need in the market. Cyberpeace was built from the ground up as a cybersecurity managed services provider. We also take a holistic and agnostic approach, considering both the technology as well as the human and cultural elements within an organization.

Our methodology begins with a comprehensive analysis or audit to understand the organization's existing security situation. This initial diagnosis allows us to design a customized cybersecurity strategy that aligns with the specific objectives of each company. This is followed by the provision of comprehensive and tailored solutions that strengthen the entire corporate infrastructure, rather than selling isolated products, thus ensuring complete and effective protection against cyberthreats.

Q: How does Cyberpeace approach the implementation of customized security strategies? 
A: We focus on making cybersecurity a simple and accessible process. We have adopted a “McDonaldization of cybersecurity” approach, through which we offer clear and specific solutions that customers can choose and customize according to their needs. Our end-to-end approach includes everything from incident response, which functions as an emergency room to resolve critical issues immediately, to cybersecurity and information security audits. The latter two are vital for identifying vulnerabilities and strengthening security on an ongoing basis. We also provide managed services that offer 24/7 proactive monitoring, protecting companies against threats on an ongoing basis.

Q: What are the main cybersecurity tools and services that Cyberpeace's clients are adopting? 
A: We have seen a growing interest in brand protection, due to the increase in fraudulent sites affecting e-commerce and financial service companies. Attackers create fake sites to divert traffic and commit fraud, which is of great concern for affected organizations. The adoption of preventative measures, such as managed services, is also a priority as companies seek to proactively protect themselves against cyberthreats. This approach not only minimizes risks, but also ensures a quick and effective response to any incident.

Q: What have been the main drivers behind the adoption of cybersecurity in Mexico?
A: During the pandemic, we saw the growth of trends that created an urgent need for cybersecurity solutions, such as working from home and selling online. These trends exposed many insecure implementations that increased vulnerability to cyberattacks. The National Banking and Securities Commission has played a crucial role in the security sector as it requires periodic security audits, prompting Mexican companies to adopt best practices and strengthen their defenses. The increase in the number and sophistication of attacks has underscored the need for expert cybersecurity partners who can offer comprehensive and effective solutions.

Q: What added value does Cyberpeace's SOC 360 solution offer, and how does it integrate with your other cybersecurity tools to provide comprehensive protection? 
A: The SOC 360 is an end-to-end solution that integrates seamlessly with any existing cybersecurity platform or tool in an organization. In addition to its technological capabilities, it incorporates a crucial human component through cybersecurity education and culture. This automatic integration enables continuous and up-to-date visibility into the security posture, which is essential for security managers and other levels within the organization. With real-time notification capabilities, the platform ensures that teams can act quickly on new vulnerabilities, improving the organization's cybersecurity maturity significantly.

Q: What specific measures is Cyberpeace implementing to educate and protect companies and their employees against misinformation and social engineering attacks? 
A: We implement robust strategies to protect companies against misinformation and social engineering, focusing on education and awareness for all employees. From logistics staff to executives, everyone receives continuous cybersecurity training through lectures and training sessions integrated into the SOC 360 platform. This approach ensures that everyone is prepared to identify and respond appropriately to emerging threats.

Q: What steps is Cyberpeace taking to develop security solutions that can anticipate threats driven by advanced technologies?
A: Cybercriminals are now using more sophisticated and automated techniques, such as personalized phishing and adaptive malware. To counter this, we have integrated AI into our security solutions, enabling a proactive response to emerging threats. Our SOC 360 platform uses AI to analyze multiple data sources within an organization, not only to identify vulnerabilities, but also to predict and mitigate future attacks, ensuring our customers are protected with advanced tools that evolve at the pace of modern cyberthreats.

Q: How will Cyberpeace expand and strengthen its presence both domestically and internationally in the near term? 
A: We are focused on consolidating and expanding our presence in the Americas, leveraging our established distribution channels and strategic allies to reach new markets and strengthen our position in existing markets. Our focus as a developer sets us apart. We develop unique intellectual property, such as our automation platform and security tools, which enables us to offer customized, high-value-added solutions to our customers across the continent. 

We are taking firm steps toward entering the EU market by establishing key partnerships and proactively adapting to local regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In the United Kingdom, for example, we have worked closely with companies to implement recurring security audits aligned with GDPR requirements. We aim to replicate this successful model in other EU countries, ensuring that every step of our expansion is supported by a solid compliance infrastructure and a differentiated offering that leverages cybersecurity globally, positioning us as a strategic partner capable of addressing the most complex security challenges with innovative and reliable solutions.
