Cybersecurity has risen in the ranks of business concerns in recent years. The figures justify this fear: approximately 30,000 websites are attacked every day worldwide, and two out of every three companies have already suffered some type of cyberattack. This threat is constant and continues to grow, as it is estimated that more than half a million pieces of malware—viruses, Trojans, keyloggers, and many others—are created daily. The risk to businesses is amplified by the accelerated digitization of their processes, in both service and industrial sectors. While the market offers highly effective and cost-efficient solutions that enable remote access and streamline production, control, and distribution processes, this evolution has also opened the door to new vulnerabilities, well-known and widely publicized in the media, such as viruses that cause data loss. Another less publicized but even more significant consequence of these attacks is power outages, so damaging that they account for approximately 40% of these losses. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that power outages represent an annual cost of around $150 billion in the United States.
Ensuring a continuous and reliable
power supply is crucial for the operations of all businesses, to the point that its disruption jeopardizes profitability. To prevent this, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems developed by companies like Salicru ensure a reliable, economical power supply tailored to the needs of each business, thanks to the wide availability of models with a diverse range of power options.
Salicru UPS systems offer advanced and versatile protection for all types of equipment in diverse environments such as homes, offices, and retail stores; SMEs, large corporations, and public organizations; industry; and transportation, energy, and telecommunications infrastructure.
With customers in more than 130 countries across these environments, Salicru holds a leading position in a market where its extensive technological offering and experience are a guarantee of customer trust.
This trust also extends to protection against cyberattacks, as many of the applications in which Salicru UPS systems are implemented are critical. This is the case when these UPS systems ensure a stable and continuous power supply to database servers that may contain sensitive information for companies or public administrations. In the industrial environment, which is undergoing a profound transformation by adopting the Industry 4.0 concept and the intelligent connectivity of the IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things), UPS systems also play a crucial role in enabling the continuous manufacturing, monitoring, control, and safety of processes.
Up-to-date UPS, secure UPS
. For a UPS to perform optimally, it must be in perfect working order. However, some studies indicate that around 20% of installed UPS systems have exceeded their useful life, posing a risk for two reasons: reduced reliability due to obsolescence and increased vulnerability to cyberattacks. It is therefore advisable to equip all relevant infrastructure with UPS systems that meet the appropriate specifications, are within their useful life, and have their firmware properly updated.
Salicru's technological capabilities also allow it to provide its clients with cloud-based power protection solutions that can be deployed on private networks, both internal and external, as well as on remote workstations. The rise of teleworking and the hybrid (in-person and remote) organization of companies catalyzes the demand for UPS systems intended for this environment, which is set to continue expanding in the coming years.
