The PCI Council has released valuable insights on Vulnerability Scans & ASV Guidance, particularly beneficial for SAQ A merchants.

With new data showing that the the number of cyber attacks on UK utility companies increased to 48 in 2023, representing a 586% rise compared to 2022 and Data breaches impacting 140,000 individuals, a substantial increase from 17,000 the previous year cyber security in the sector has never been so important. 

We are excited to announce that Integrity360 has been selected as one of just 33 out of more than 400 organisations to join the prestigious PCI SSC Global Executive Assessor Roundtable.

In a recent incident, a prominent cyber security company discovered they had inadvertently hired a North Korean operative posing as an IT professional. This individual, using various AI tools, managed to infiltrate the company by joining as an employee, accessed its systems and attempted to plant malware. The incident has brought to light the increasing sophistication of cyber threats during the recruitment process. If a major cyber security firm can fall victim, other less security-savvy organisations face even greater risks and underscores the necessity for robust verification processes and heightened vigilance in recruitment.

Crowdstrike have now published their preliminary post incident report (PIR) into the issue that impacted 8.5m Windows hosts. Their preliminary report is available in full on the CrowdStrike website:https://www.crowdstrike.com/falcon-content-update-remediation-and-guidance-hub/)

Understanding your full attack surface is critical. The attack surface encompasses all potential entry points that a cybercriminal might exploit to gain unauthorised access to your systems.
