Innovative project
The country is on the road to innovation. Since 2009, the Brazilian Army is leading a project that includes the construction of a Cyber Defense Center, development of software and hardware solutions, acquisition of supercomputers and digital research materials. The value of the project is about R $ 331 million and is expected to be completed by 2020.
The banking sector is one of those that most applies resources in information technology. According to a study by consulting firm Gartner, only in 2015 this investment was R $ 19 billion, and the percentage of IT security budget reserved for the prevention and detection of vulnerabilities will increase from 10% in 2012 to 60% in 2020.
