ManageEngine, the enterprise IT division of Zoho Corporation, will be present at the Barcelona Cybersecurity Congress 2026 (booth D16) with a portfolio that proposes a proactive management approach capable of stopping attacks before they strike.
However, beyond having the right tools in place, it is essential to identify the actions that can reduce the attack surface. The reactive approach (incident – solution) is a thing of the past. The new survival in IT is built on resilience and proactive management.
AI more present than ever
According to a recent ISACA report, 51% of IT professionals fear that AI-driven threats will be their biggest concern throughout 2026 — largely due to the lack of organizational preparedness.
Only 14% of respondents stated that their company is ready to manage risks related to AI-based attacks. The vast majority (the remaining 82%) do not feel as confident.
Supply chain vulnerabilities, the complexity of achieving compliance with the latest regulations, and the shortage of trained professionals are some of the challenges that concern IT leaders the most.
Below we will review four best practices and how ManageEngine solutions can resolve and automate various tasks, optimizing the performance of the IT team.
The four keys to fighting AI-powered threats
Apply Zero Trust: Many attackers achieve lateral movement because once they are “inside” an organization, there are no barriers. Microsegmentation (independent authentication for certain resources) and the principle of least privilege can help address this.
ADAudit Plus monitors all authentication events in real time and generates immediate alerts upon any anomaly. AD360 manages the identity lifecycle with MFA and granular access control. Zero Trust at its finest.
Detect Behaviors: New malware is polymorphic and mutates with each execution, rendering signature-based security software obsolete. Replacing that type of detection with user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) is far more effective.
Log360 integrates UEBA capabilities with machine learning-based detection, more than 2,000 preconfigured detection rules aligned with MITRE ATT&CK, and intelligent thresholds. Dynamic threats call for predictive detection.
Keep Control of All Devices: The digital enterprise sometimes travels on employees’ devices. Every new application installed is a new attack vector. Having control over what gets installed and under what conditions provides greater security.
Endpoint Central is the most comprehensive solution for unified endpoint management. Define usage profiles, application allowlists and blocklists, schedule automatic updates, maintain patching policies, and prevent new attack vectors.
IT Management at Lightning Speed: AI-driven attacks can exploit vulnerabilities and find gaps in enterprise software within minutes. You need to respond quickly and contain potential advances.
With Log360, you can configure automatic containment responses (block an endpoint, disable an account, close an access point) and set response levels to create help desk tickets immediately.
