Tegere: Cybersecurity centred on human nature

What is the motivation?

Social engineering has advanced by leaps and bounds, mostly moving away from the days of poorly written emails to much more credible requests and hoaxes. Between 15% and 20% of the total cybersecurity market is based on social engineering and its deceptions, so Tegere is focusing on this segment, ensuring that protection will be superior and its model is adaptable to all types of customers, from individuals to large enterprises.

Program aims

• Prevent unauthorised access to systems leading to theft of credentials or data.
• Alerting of social engineering attempts, extracting digital evidence and optimising responses.
• Protect different types of clients, adapting to the specific needs of each one.

Development

The process for solving these problems includes:

• Development of a cloud infrastructure with an AI engine and a basic alert system, tested by different collaborating companies.
• Optimisation of the product after initial testing, improving the detection engine and extracting digital evidence. Regulatory compliance is also sought at this point.
• Expansion of functionalities through the advanced development of a user interface with a customisable dashboard according to needs.
• Optimisation of responses and load testing prior to public deployment.
• Notification to INCIBE in order to continue the fight against cybercrime.

Social engineering is one of the less technical aspects of cyber security, but that does not mean it should be neglected. The human factor remains key within the technology, making services like Tegere indispensable in the first line of defence. People function as the first detector of fraud attempts, and Tegere's support will help them improve protection.
