As the nights get darker and the creepiest night of the year draws near, we can't help but think of ghouls, goblins, and all the things that go bump in the night. But while most people are concerned with the supernatural entities of Halloween folklore, there's another kind of ghouls we should be wary of: the ones potentially lurking in our computers, the 'zombie networks' or 'botnets.'

October has become synonymous with Cyber Security Awareness Month. Dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of cyber security, the month is filled with campaigns, tips, and educational resources designed to help individuals and organisations protect their digital assets. While this concentrated focus is valuable, limiting the conversation about cyber security to just October is a big mistake. Here's why.

It’s not a matter of whether your organisation will face a security incident but when. That's why a robust incident response plan is crucial. So what elements should your incident response plan include to be truly effective?

The concept of "resilience" within the sphere of cyber security has become increasingly relevant in recent years. While traditional security measures tend to focus on prevention and immediate response, resilience offers a more holistic approach to dealing with cyber threats. What, then, does resilience mean in cyber security, and why is it so crucial?

This year’s Cyber Security Awareness month focuses on two highly impactful cyber security threats: Phishing and Social Engineering. The techniques that frequently act as gateway tactics for more nefarious cyber-attacks.

Today, we delve into the life of the individual credited with crafting the world's first algorithm and widely acknowledged as among the first computer programmers.

This Cyber Security Awareness Month one of the main focuses is on making and using strong passwords. They’re one of the simplest yet most critical aspects of cyber security that are often neglected. Many consider passwords as just an obstacle, an annoying necessity that stands between you and your Facebook page, email, or banking app. However, when it comes to safeguarding your digital identity and personal information, passwords serve as your first line of defence.

It’s October which means it’s Cyber Security Awareness Month, a global initiative designed to educate the public about the importance of cyber security and provide tips to stay safe online.

In today's digital landscape, data has become the new currency. Organisations amass, store and utilise vast amounts of sensitive data, from sensitive customer details to intellectual property. While this data is invaluable for business functions, it's also a prime target for cybercriminals. A data breach can be calamitous, potentially leading to financial setbacks, reputational damage, and legal complications. In this blog we look at how an organisation should respond to a data breach.

The demand for cyber security professionals far outweighs supply with the latest data highlighting that there’s currently 3.5 million unfilled cyber security jobs around the world.
