The massification of telecommunications services, Internet access, the low prices of consumer electronics, mobile telephony and the Internet of Things, among others, have generated a complex panorama from the point of view of Cybersecurity risks, large companies and governments can invest a large amount of resources for the purchase and operation of security platforms that help them minimize these risks, but for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) this type of investment is not possible, which it becomes an ideal target for cybercriminals. The possibility of using low-cost devices as hardware on which IT security support tools can be implemented opens up a new spectrum of possibilities that can also cover needs in the modern home, where there are also various devices connected to the Internet that can be victims of attacks.
