Organisations worldwide are increasingly turning to AI-driven solutions like Darktrace to defend their digital environments. Darktrace’s autonomous response technology is renowned for its ability to detect anomalies and respond to cyber threats in real time. However, the platform’s full potential often goes underutilised. Many organisations face challenges in configuring, optimising, and maintaining their Darktrace environments to deliver peak security. This is where Integrity360 steps in.

The  cyber security skills gap has long plagued the industry, and new data from Hiscox shows it's only worsening. As cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated, security teams face mounting pressures to keep up. In a report published in late October 2024, Hiscox revealed that over a third of UK businesses lack the expertise needed to manage evolving cyber risks. Shockingly, 34% of these businesses feel unprepared for cyber-attacks, while a significant 70% reported a surge in attacks this year alone.

AI adoption is transforming business practices across industries—from financial analysis to software engineering. Enterprises that strategically embrace this technology will gain a significant competitive advantage.

In a recent incident that made the news headlines, an unnamed company fell victim to a cyber-attack after unknowingly hiring a North Korean cybercriminal disguised as a remote IT contractor. The individual managed to infiltrate the company’s systems, steal sensitive data, and issue a ransom demand. The case serves as a stark reminder of the increasing threat posed by threat actors masquerading as workers.

If you were to look at a stock image of a hacker, it would show a hooded figure hunched over the desk who’s lost in the sea of green text and numbers that flash across the screen.

As 2024 draws to a close, numerous high-profile cyber incidents have dominated the headlines. With only two and a half months remaining and the Christmas season approaching, it's likely we'll see even more before year’s end. In this blog, the Integrity360 Incident Response team explores some of the most significant cyber attacks of the year... so far.

Overview: Ivanti has released updates for Ivanti CSA (Cloud Services Application) which addresses a medium severity and two high severity vulnerabilities. Exploiting these vulnerabilities effectively enables remote attackers to execute SQL statements through SQL injection, run arbitrary code via command injection, and bypass security restrictions by taking advantage of a path traversal weakness in vulnerable CSA gateways, which provide secure access to internal network resources for enterprise users.

In the spirit of Cyber Security Awareness Month, Integrity360 is calling for businesses to look beyond basic cyber security measures. As cyber threats evolve, traditional techniques like strong passwords and periodic software updates leave organisations vulnerable to more sophisticated attacks. 

For many, presenting cyber security requirements to the board has often felt like an uphill battle, especially when it comes to regulatory frameworks. With the introduction of the NIS2 Directive, this dynamic has become even more pressing. While CISOs are acutely aware of the potential risks of non-compliance, boards may still struggle to grasp the urgency or allocate the necessary resources. Bridging this gap is essential for businesses to meet the new regulatory requirements and safeguard their operations.
