Support for the extrajudicial recovery of guarantees in the context of the legal framework
In a global scenario where Brazil is the country most attacked by hackers in Latin America and the second most attacked in the world, only behind the United States, cybersecurity is no longer a choice and has become a strategic necessity for companies. Within this scenario, the work of ethical hackers stands out, specialists whose mission is to identify and correct vulnerabilities proactively, ensuring data integrity and customer trust.
Contrary to what many people think, the term “hacker” does not only refer to those who use their skills for illicit purposes. Ethical hackers play a crucial role in preventing attacks by acting in an authorized and responsible manner.
A practical example comes from Alias, a company that offers technological solutions for financial institutions and Detrans, especially in the segment of vehicle financing contract registration. With a focus on innovation, the company is a reference in the segment. It uses advanced technology to protect customer and financial institution data.
“Today, the greatest currency we have is information. Our job is to ensure that it remains secure, even in the face of thousands of daily hacking attempts,” explains Roberto Leonardi, security specialist at Alias.
How do ethical hackers work?
Ethical hackers simulate real cyberattacks in controlled environments to expose potential exploits before they are exploited by malicious hackers. At Alias, these simulations take place in validation environments—replicas of the original system, but with fake, randomly generated data. This ensures that the integrity of sensitive information is not compromised.
Advanced tools such as OWASP Zap, OpenVAS, Metasploit and Burp Suite, are used to map vulnerabilities. In addition, strict protocols and backups ensure that, even when testing in the production environment, data security is preserved.
Impact on customer confidence
Preventative action by ethical hackers not only protects systems, but also reinforces customer trust. A practical example shared by Roberto is the implementation of advanced scripts that immediately detect and block IPs associated with hacking attempts. “We receive numerous attack attempts every day, and none of them are successful. This reinforces trust in our work and sets us apart in the market in which we operate,” he says.
Challenges and alignment with certifications
Cybersecurity faces the challenge of balancing innovation with regulatory compliance, especially in highly demanding sectors such as the market. Alias follows strict standards and, as a positive consequence, has received LGPD compliance certification from Comply LGPD Solutions.
“Our work is deeply aligned with these certifications. Regular testing ensures that we are compliant with the standards, strengthening our digital defenses and customer confidence,” concludes Roberto Leonardi.
