"Personal Data, Fodder for Cyberwarfare? New Models for Stepping up Cybersecurity"

Regner Sabillon, a doctoral student at the Open University of Catalonia (UOC), has published a book titled "Cyber Security Auditing, Assurance, and Awareness Through CSAM and CATRAM," which has been praised by the US website BookAuthority as the best new cybersecurity book to read in 2021. Sabillon's book explores multiple case studies and emphasizes the importance of taking appropriate measures to protect data against cyberattacks. The book is based on his research on models that can efficiently address the growing frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks. In his book, Sabillon highlights the need to update security models to prevent increasingly complex cyberattacks targeting top-tier institutions, regular citizens, businesses, and government agencies. Victor Cavaller, a Professor in the Department of Information and Communication Sciences at UOC who co-supervised Sabillon's research, explained that the study involved a comprehensive review of cybersecurity systems that different organizations around the world are implementing. Cavaller also explained that the book proposes Audit and Awareness Training models proven to be useful and effective in several institutions where they have significantly improved the ability of computer protection. This research offers greater insight into the level of maturity of cybersecurity at different companies and institutions, thus providing a starting point for increasing these levels. Sabillon hopes to further shed light on current issues in the cybersecurity domain, including the theft of individuals' personal or sensitive data, the tampering of private businesses' intellectual property, and the continuous advancement of cyberattacks. This article continues to discuss the topics covered by Sabillon's book, including cyberwarfare and security models.
