Vulnerability of the technological infrastructure of the Salinas Fire Department, year 2023

Abstract

The present research addressed the critical issue in the field of cybersecurity. The technological infrastructure of the Salinas Fire Department is exposed to significant risks due to the growing threat of cyber attacks. Given this situation, the main objective of the research was to assess the cyber risks present in the institution's information technology (IT) infrastructure. To achieve this objective, the methodology of risk analysis and management of information systems known as MAGERIT was employed, providing a systematic and structured framework to identify, analyze, and manage risks related to information security in an organization. In the context of this research, this methodology was applied to conduct a comprehensive risk analysis of the institution's infrastructure. During the analysis, risk levels were verified in each department, identifying critical areas of vulnerability that could compromise the integrity and operational effectiveness of the institution. The results confirmed the existence of critical areas of vulnerability that require immediate attention. For this reason, the creation of a contingency plan was proposed to reduce the risks identified during the analysis. This plan includes specific measures to strengthen the security of the Salinas Fire Department's technological infrastructure and ensure its operational effectiveness against potential cyber attacks.
