New threats (Ransomware and AI): defending with an advanced SIEM
The current context: Ransomware and emerging AI threats
In recent years, Ransomware has become increasingly sophisticated and widespread. The rise of the Ransomware-as-a-Service model has enabled even criminals with limited skills to launch complex attacks.
In Italy, ransomware continues to rank among the most impactful threats during the first half of 2025, with a total of 91 attacks (compared to 92 in the first half of 2024). The most significant cases of the semester targeted a university, a hospital diagnostic lab, and several digital service providers for public administration. (Source: ACN Operational Summary).
The development of AI gives attackers new opportunities to create sophisticated threats that are becoming more frequent, adaptive, and difficult for traditional defense systems to detect.
This scenario makes intelligent and responsive security tools essential.
Challenges for SMEs, IT Managers, CISOs, and DPOs
Small and medium-sized businesses often lack dedicated security teams or large budgets. In this context, IT Managers, CISOs, DPOs, and Account Managers seek clear, effective, and ready-to-use solutions that ensure protection, business continuity, and regulatory compliance.
Why the adoption of an advanced SIEM is essential
A Next Generation SIEM leverages advanced contextual and behavioral data to detect subtle anomalies such as zero-day threats or unusual user behavior—issues that traditional defense systems often miss.
This enables the detection of silent attacks at their earliest stages, reducing response times and allowing the implementation of countermeasures to minimize damage.
Automation and Rapid Response
Modern SIEM solutions incorporate advanced correlation engines that proactively identify threat signals and trigger automated responses.
Centralization, continuous Monitoring, and Compliance
Advanced SIEMs centralize logs and events from multiple systems, enabling continuous monitoring and the creation of reports for security audits and compliance with GDPR, ISO 27001, or PCI DSS.
This streamlines operations and helps DPOs address regulatory requirements.
