Empirical study of the application of business intelligence (BI) in cybersecurity within ecuador: A trend away from reality

Abstract:

Business Intelligence (BI) over the years, has achieved a strong impact within the business world, especially when it comes to gaining knowledge for making strategic decisions. This impact has been successfully in other contexts. However, only exist some examples in Latinamerica (Costa Rica), have started to use BI for the Cybersecurity context, being a strange when several authors have considered this relationship as a global trend. Our objective is to investigate if this trend is happening in Ecuador. For which, we propose to carry out a survey to professionals in the industry and professors in the academy. The results obtained show that the majority of Ecuadorian companies, use BI only to improve their competitiveness, but without considering cybersecurity context, despite being aware of the high risk. The industry, academia and country must enter a stage of reflection of the application of BI in Cybersecurity.
