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.

In order to defend your organisation, you need to think like both a protector and an attacker. By seeing things from a hacker's viewpoint, you can better protect your organisation from threats. This blog dives into this mindset, offering simple steps to make your organisation safer.

With many companies struggling with the intricacies of cyber security, introducing an expansive supply chain into the equation can greatly exacerbate the already tough challenges. In this blog we take a look at what supply chain attacks are and some ways to reduce the risks they pose.

• Company is set to create approximately 200 new jobs over the next three years
• The new SOC is based in high-tech, fully secure Termini building in Sandyford
• Facility will be the group’s largest SOC using latest technology and secure biometrics systems
• Investment follows a number of acquisitions by Integrity360 in recent years
• Group turnover expected to reach €115M in 2023, €45M of which will be driven by operations in Ireland

In the world of cyber security, the battle between defenders and attackers is continuous, much like a never ending game of chess. As defence mechanisms evolve, attackers adapt, making their strategies ever more sophisticated. With the proliferation of cutting-edge technologies, the sophistication of attack methodologies has also surged. Amidst this, the significance of red teaming and pentesting has become paramount.

Almost every organisation, whether big or small is online in some way, necessitating the need for cyber security. However, cyber security isn't just about protecting your data; it's about adhering to regulations, avoiding crippling fines, and protecting your reputation in the marketplace.

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).
