In a world where cyber threats are becoming increasingly complex and devastating, the necessity for robust cyber security measures is indisputable. One method often utilised by cyber security professionals to analyse and strengthen defences is penetration testing, also known as 'pen testing'. One variant that is distinctive due to its unique approach and notable benefits is Double Blind Penetration Testing.

In today's interconnected, digital world, cyber security is no longer a luxury, it's a necessity. This holds especially true for the small to medium-sized businesses (SMEs), that are the backbone of the economy. While you are busy revolutionising industries, creating jobs, and fostering innovation, it is crucial not to overlook one aspect of your operations - cyber security. This might seem like a daunting task, but rest assured, it doesn’t have to be. 

Cyber threats lurk everywhere in the online realm, and it's not just large corporations at risk; small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are equally vulnerable. Which is why cyber security compliance  is so important. We look into what the benefits of being compliant are and how Integrity360 can assist your businesses to become compliant. 

A crucial component of solid cyber security is penetration testing, otherwise known as pen testing or ethical hacking. Essentially, penetration testing is a methodical process of scrutinising an organisation's IT system, network or web application to spot potential vulnerabilities a hacker could exploit. 

Detecting and responding to threats is a critical component of any modern cyber security strategy, hence the rapid rise of Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services in the market today. Whether managed internally in partnership with a service provider, continuously scanning for threats and being ready to respond when defences are breached is widely recognised as essential. However, while most organisations and/or their MDR providers focus their detection and response efforts on threats within their own infrastructure, it's essential to recognise that there exists a vast universe of external threats persistently targeting your business. 

As cyber threats continue to evolve and become more sophisticated, businesses of all sizes are increasingly seeking assistance from Managed Detection and Response (MDR) providers to help protect their digital assets.

In today’s world there is an ever-present risk of cyber incidents. These can range from simple malware attacks to sophisticated state-sponsored cyber-espionage. Given the potential for severe impacts on businesses, national security, and personal privacy, understanding incident response – what it is, its significance, and when it's needed – becomes crucial.

There’s a wealth of different cyber security services out there, so many that it can be confusing for businesses to choose the one that is right for them. Among those options are Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and Managed Security Monitoring. While both approaches offer significant benefits, it's essential to understand their differences and determine which one is best suited for your organisation. We delve into the nuances of MDR and Managed Security Monitoring, exploring the benefits, challenges, and efficacy of each. 

Cyber security risk assessments have become integral components of effective information security management. They provide a comprehensive perspective on potential vulnerabilities, enabling organisations to proactively mitigate threats. In this blog we delve into the various types of cyber security risk assessments and will explore how Integrity360 uses these tools to ensure robust security for our clients.

As companies rely more heavily on digital systems to store and process data, the need to protect against security breaches, data theft, and other potential risks grows ever more crucial. One way to achieve this is through the implementation of the ISO 27001 standard. We take a look at what the ISO 27001 certification process is, along with giving practical tips on how to prepare for it.

Over the last decade, cyber security has experienced significant transformation, which is evident in the UK Cyber Essentials Scheme which is set to change this month. 

Sun Tzu's Art of War is a renowned work on military strategy that has found applications beyond warfare, including in cyber security. Organisations face an ever-evolving threat landscape and to stay ahead of those risks, and as Sun Tzu says; understanding the enemy is crucial. Managed Digital Risk Protection services can help organisations do exactly that by providing intelligence on the latest threats,vulnerabilities, and wherethey may already be exposed.
