Cyber attacks rarely begin with a dramatic system failure or flashing warning message. More often, they start with something that appears entirely normal: a user logging in, a file being opened, or a legitimate tool being used in an unexpected way. The challenge for organisations is that traditional security tools aren’t always designed to spot […]
Many organisations have invested in firewalls, endpoint protection, security monitoring and employee training, yet remain unsure how their defences would perform during a genuine cyber attack. That uncertainty can create risk, particularly as threat actors continue to adopt increasingly sophisticated methods to bypass security controls and target sensitive data. Red teaming helps address that challenge. […]
Security teams are flooded with alerts, dashboards and automated notifications. Yet some of the most damaging cyber attacks generate little obvious warning. Modern threat actors understand how organisations defend themselves and increasingly focus on avoiding detection, allowing malicious activity to persist within an environment for weeks or even months before it is discovered. For organisations, […]
A newly updated piece of joint cyber security guidance from CISA and its international partners serves as a timely reminder that Active Directory remains one of the most attractive targets for threat actors. The guidance examines 17 commonly observed techniques used to compromise Active Directory environments, covering everything from privilege escalation and lateral movement to […]
When a cyber incident is discovered, whether it’s a ransomware attack, suspicious activity on the network or a confirmed data breach, the immediate reaction is often to stop the problem as quickly as possible. In reality, effective incident response is rarely that simple. Modern security incidents can affect multiple systems, involve numerous stakeholders and create […]
Cyber security has evolved far beyond firewalls, antivirus software and technical controls. Today, organisations face a growing range of cyber threats that can disrupt operations, impact revenue, damage reputations and expose sensitive data. As businesses continue to adopt cloud services, remote working technologies and increasingly interconnected systems, the potential consequences of a cyber incident have […]
Most organisations have a good understanding of their internal risks. They know which systems are critical, where sensitive data is stored and which controls protect their most important assets. The challenge is that many of today’s biggest risks sit outside the organisation. Whether it’s a cloud provider, software vendor, outsourced IT partner or payroll provider, […]
Organisations rely on an increasing number of third parties to support critical business operations. Whether it’s a cloud provider, software vendor, managed service provider or specialist supplier, these external relationships can deliver significant value. They can also introduce cyber security risks, compliance risks, operational risks and financial risks that sit outside your direct control. As […]
Third-party risk has become one of the biggest cybersecurity and compliance challenges facing modern organisations. As businesses increasingly rely on software vendors, cloud providers, managed service providers and specialist suppliers, the attack surface extends far beyond the organisation’s own network. A security incident affecting just one vendor can expose sensitive data, disrupt operations and create […]
The CIA triad is one of the most important concepts in cyber security. Built around three core principles, confidentiality, integrity and availability, it provides a practical framework for protecting data, managing cyber risk and supporting business resilience. Despite evolving threats, cloud adoption and advances in AI, the CIA triad remains a foundational model used across […]
