When we speak of cyber security and the world of technology, we're discussing an industry that, at its core, thrives on innovation. But while the spotlight often shines on the latest advancements, it's essential to remember the foundations that paved the way.

Legacy software and hardware, though once the pillars of digital innovation, have become cyber security vulnerabilities today. These old systems, though still in use, become potential "digital time bombs," presenting growing cyber security risks that businesses and individuals must address. By recognising these risks and proactively addressing them, we can ensure that our digital past doesn't compromise our future.

ISO 27001 continues to be the most popular security framework organisations align themselves to but achieving compliance can be a challenge for many organisations. Luckily there is a service that can greatly help meet the standards; Managed Detection and Response (MDR). 

Every business today faces a flood of online weaknesses that can be a problem. Spotting these issues, reacting fast, and stopping new ones from popping up is a big task. Vulnerability management helps companies tackle these challenges head-on. In this blog we look at seven of the challenges Vulnerability Management services tackle.

With cyber threats and vulnerabilities constantly changing Vulnerability Management Services are now essential in securing your organisation from cyber threats. In this blog we take a look at what vulnerability management is, the difference between vulnerability, risks, threats, and how vulnerability management services work to benefit your organisation.

Do an image search for hackers and you’ll be greeted with a multitude of images of men and women wearing balaclavas and masks (why would a hacker need to wear a mask?) sat at a computer plotting some nefarious scheme. Why is this the common representation of hackers? Could it be a result of watching too many movies or is it part of the narrative that you should be afraid of these people?In this blog we take a look at the different types of hackers and their motivations. 

Continuing our series on the most significant cyber-attacks this year, Integrity360's incident response team has turned its attention to the cyber security trends that we expect to surface in the latter half of the year.  

There’s a myriad of cybersecurity compliance frameworks designed to assist organisations in constructing secure IT environments, assuring data safeguarding and minimising cybersecurity risks. There’s so many that it can get a tad confusing at times. In this article we delve into several of the key frameworks, including CIS, ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27701, Cyber Essentials, SOC 2, GDPR, and NIST, whilst also highlighting the benefits of each. 

Cyber security is an indispensable aspect of any business operation. Recognising and understanding vulnerabilities - the potential risks that could compromise an organisation's cyber security - are critical. These latent risks become real and potentially damaging threats when exploited by a threat actor or accidentally by user error, leading to disastrous consequences like data breaches, malware infections, financial loss, and/or a loss of business-critical services. 

Businesses face a constant barrage of potential cyber-attacks, aiming to compromise data, applications, and other crucial assets. The backbone of an effective, modern-day cyber security strategy? The Security Operation Centre (SOC).

A Cyber Incident Response Team (CIRT) is a dedicated group of highly skilled and qualified IT professionals who are trained to respond to cyber security threats and incidents quickly. These teams are equipped with specific skills to identify, manage, and neutralise cyber threats effectively.

In part 2 of our series on the major cyberattacks of 2023 we'll be examining the attacks on Royal Mail and JD Sports. We'll also take a closer look at one of the largest DDoS attacks ever documented and delve into the havoc caused by the Black Basta ransomware spree.
