Spain is the ranked third among the countries hit by cyberattacks and the United States and the United Kingdom. Reports suggest that Spanish citizens, business and infrastructure have suffered from over 70,000 cyberattacks by 2015.
Spain has faced some very critical situations in the space of cyber crime. Spain monitored about 18,000 cyber crime incidents out of which 6,700 were due to unauthorized access into the system, 4,270 frauds and 1,745 due to virus attacks in the year 2014. Out of all reported incidents, the worst came in the year 2014 when an energy company was subject to a distributed denial of service that infected computers with the Trojan virus and crashed the central server. Within a span of three hours, 119 million connections in the server were due to denial of service.
With such weak information security infrastructure will only lead of repeated cyber thefts and loss to the country and the affected citizens. Organizations must timely monitor any threat information and intel so as to discover ensuing threats and such can be done with a skilled and trained team that can identify the attack methods and counterattack and trace the target. EC-Council certifications like ethical hacking training Spain base its foundation on this very need of prevention and countermeasure, on implementation of the same hacking tools and methods against the attacker and using techniques for detection.
