Cirion Reinforces Its Commitment to Security on International Data Privacy Day
The company’s experts emphasize the need for a dual approach that involves not only adopting new security and privacy tools but also raising user awareness. Nearly half of organizations input confidential information into generative AI applications.
Buenos Aires, January 28, 2025. In the era of digital transformation and artificial intelligence (AI), the challenge of safeguarding the vast amount of information circulating in the virtual world is becoming increasingly critical. International Data Privacy Day, celebrated every January 28, aims to raise awareness among citizens about the importance of protecting their privacy in their online experiences.
In this context, experts from Cirion Technologies, a leading provider of digital infrastructure and technology in Latin America, propose a dual approach that combines user education with the adoption of tools to ensure the highest possible level of protection.
The need for companies to develop strategies that reassure their customers and users is accelerating. A Cisco study highlights that 94% of organizations believe their customers would not buy from them if they failed to protect data adequately.
Cultural factors play a key role: although 95% of companies believe the benefits of investing in privacy outweigh the costs, according to the same study, habits, customs, and uncertainties persist that undermine results. Specifically, 48% of organizations input non-public company information into GenAI applications, and, according to the International Association of Privacy Professionals, only 29% of consumers find it easy to understand how well a company protects their personal data.
In response to this phenomenon, more organizations are opting for hosted security services and entrusting data protection to providers like Cirion. For example, last September, Cirion signed a Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) agreement with Radware, a global leader in application security and multicloud delivery solutions.
This complements the end-to-end layered solutions already offered by the company: from mitigating Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks at the outer edge to Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) strategies to ensure secure connectivity for remote users with applications, including Web Application and API Protection (WAAP), next-generation perimeter firewalls, control tools that allow organizations to visualize their landscape and analyze the state of their security, and their unified SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) solution.
Additionally, Cirion operates three Security Operations Centers (SOCs) located in Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia, staffed with specialized resources and extensive expertise. These SOCs monitor all security events across the region, from Miami to Tierra del Fuego, and provide solutions to protect organizations’ digital assets, including, of course, users’ personal data.
“While this is an excellent opportunity to raise visibility on the topic, data privacy protection is not limited to a special date—it must be an ongoing priority,” said Miguel Rodriguez, Chief Information Security Officer at Cirion Technologies. “Our commitment, therefore, is to ensure automated protection, faster mitigation, and improved accuracy in detecting potential intrusions into users’ private data, while also ensuring that all these tools are effective so organizations can continue focusing on innovating and delivering better digital experiences to their customers,” he concluded.
