I am Sally

Merry Christmas to all those who try to raise a little human being in this challenging world. You are doing a great job.

Ransomware attacks increased by over 37% in 2023, with the average enterprise ransom payment exceeding $100,0001,2,3 with a $5.3 million average demand. 83% of these attacks started with a human error. Small businesses account for 43% of cyber attacks annually, and 46% of cyber-attacks are small businesses with 1,000 or fewer employees. On average, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) lose $25,000 due to cyber attacks. Still, many companies are unaware of their risks.

Black Friday, Cybermonday, Christmas, sales... these are all dates that are approaching when we make more online purchases than usual, but do we know how to carry out a ?

The end of the year is full of special periods in which we know that we increase our online shopping. We can resort to the official websites of the shops we like the most, what we call e-commerce; or we can make our purchases through digital marketplaces, where suppliers put their products on sale so that we can buy them.

The truth is that a large part of the population prefers to shop online because it is practically impossible not to find what we are looking for. It saves us time, and there are usually better discounts and promotions than in physical shops, but how do you make a ?

Remote work has radically changed the working scenario. Hybrid jobs and BYOD policies are a huge challenge for IT departments.

In cooperation with our partner Milagro Digital Risk Intelligence , we have developed a program to address social engineering attack vectors. The service is based on our capability to gather tons of privileged and unprivileged data and structure and categorize it so that a human analyst can prepare an Intelligence Report.

Among young people who said they had received unwanted sexual content online or had their image shared without their consent, 25% told a friend (27/106), 17% (18/106) reported issues to social media platforms, 5% (5/106) to parents and just 2% (2/106) to their school.

Of the 88 girls taking part in the focus groups, 75% (66) said they had received an image of male ge****ls, with the majority ‘not asked for’ or ‘unwanted.’ Participants described instances where the senders were adult men who had created false identities but also discussed episodes of online harassment and abuse from boys in their age range and known peer groups. From the survey findings, participants reported that nearly half of incidents of image-based sexual harassment were from unknown adult men, based on profiles. Source: UCL Institute of Education

Sally means peace of mind for you and your business. A new and unique way of providing Digital Security.

Digital Transformation in Companies and Human
-Factor have expanded the Digital attack Surface and
made companies more vulnerable.

Sally works outside your security perimeter, analyzing your digital exposure, your blind spots and detecting the attackers before they reach you, mitigating the risks.

We collaborate with IT Security Departments so that
they can focus on those tasks where they are indispensable.

Current international guidelines recommend that children under 2 years don’t have screen time other than video chatting. Very young children learn best from everyday experiences like physical play, playing outside, reading, creative play and social time with family and friends.
Video chatting is OK because your child is interacting with another person. Video chatting can support your child’s social and language development. It can also help to create bonds with family and friends.

Developing healthy habits for screen time and digital technology use is important for children. Even if your baby or toddler isn’t using digital technology, your baby sees how you use it and learns from you. You can help your child develop healthy habits by using digital technology how you want your child to use it in the future.

Cybercrime and cyber insecurity are new entrants into the Top 10 rankings of the most severe global risks over the next decade, according to the World Economic Forum. Now taking the 8th spot, cybercrime now stands side-by-side with threats, including climate change and involuntary migration.

Milagro Digital Risk Intelligence , in partnership with I am Sally, applies Digital Intelligence to Cybersecurity with a very specific methodology shaped and successfully tested for a long time with many different clients all over Europe. Milagro’s goal is that every company can lead and manage their Security Risks, enabling them to understand and make accurate decisions with Intelligence products.

In our modern age, telephones are still a common channel of communication. We respond to friends, family and even strangers with an automatic "yes", but have we ever thought about the risks that this could bring? By recording your voice, cybercriminals have a powerful tool in their hands that they can use to authorize financial transactions, enter into contracts or, worse, impersonate you. They can even use your voice recordings as evidence in situations that could damage your reputation.

Isn’t it evident that Intelligence methodology might be one of the best ways to enrich cybersecurity programs with a Prevent-Breach strategy? If so, how do advanced security teams not introduce it to their work?

Our mission is to increase security and minimize risk exposure by using Intelligence to enrich Security Programs with proactive work to try to be ahead of malicious actors. How can we help companies adapt Intelligence in their proactive security and risk management work cost-efficiently? We believe the way to do this is to use the same steps that have always been used in those areas: Gap-Analysis, Implementation and follow-up, being the first step, a cost-efficient one lowering the entry level to Intelligence.

We scan your company’s perimeter and your digital footprint. We look for your vulnerabilities and exposed credentials on the web, the Deep Web and the Dark Web. We can also do that with your employees.

Your child may not tell you about being cyberbullied. Here are some things to watch out for:
Your child suddenly stops using their devices for fun things, like playing their favourite game.
Your child hides their devices from view and avoids using devices around you.
Your child quickly turns off or changes the screen on their device whenever you’re around.
Your child seems nervous or jumpy when a text, email, or notification pops up. They may become withdrawn.
Your child mentions things like “There’s a lot of drama at school” or “I have no friends.”
Your child doesn’t want to attend school or seems uneasy about going.

You might be infected without noticing it. Do you want us to tell you the infostealers you have and what information has already been stolen?

Taking a break from your computer? Lock your screen before you leave to keep your work secure. You never know who is around. Cybersecurity is an attitude.

Don’t be in a rush when it comes to click on links received by email. Verify the information, check it and read the content carefully. Hackers are becoming more and more sophisticated with their frauds.

It doesn't matter how much you invest in technology and security if your whole staff doesn't understand this.

Think of your people. Who is going through a nightmare divorce, who has a baby at home and is getting little sleep, who has a sick parent or wife to take care of... That is what really affects our capacity for work, concentration and, therefore, personal alertness levels. Criminals are aware of these things in our lives. The way to attack employees is through Social Engineering. And what does a Social Engineer do? They listen and monitor the emotional pulse of your employees. How? Quite simply. Following their social networks with a good "clinical eye". If you follow someone consistently, you get to know their ups and downs, their hobbies and interests, their emotional ups and downs, their worries and their likes and dislikes quite well. We know who their friends are, their favourite places... It's a matter of time, patience and attention. So, there comes the point when criminals know your employees much better than you do and know when they are in a moment of vulnerability. So, think about it. Maybe your cybersecurity budget needs to be geared towards something far beyond technology.

Social media and the internet give us a false sense of anonymity. We think we are safer because we are just in our coach or room and don't feel the risk as much as in the physical world. However, it's easy to reach us and know our identity. We need to have transparent and open conversations with our kids when they are young as we do for other things like not talking to strangers, not taking a candy someone gives them in the street, and not opening the door when they are alone...

Whaling is a highly targeted phishing attack - aimed at senior executives - masquerading as a legitimate email. Whaling is digitally enabled fraud through social engineering, designed to encourage victims to perform a secondary action, such as initiating a wire transfer of funds.

Think twice before using that selfie app. You might be sharing more than fun content. Selfie apps can collect and abuse biometric data.

Many people cover up their we**am because you never know who could be on the other end watching. If a snoop gains access to your we**am, they might gather footage to extort, blackmail, or cause mayhem in your life. The good news? It's an easy cyberthreat to protect against.
