The surge in cyber threats over the past decade has made it necessary for companies to actively safeguard their systems and data. One of the proactive strategies used in this context is penetration testing, also known as 'pen testing' or ethical hacking.

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. 

The Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed the way we connect and interact with technology, enabling devices from smart thermostats to industrial machinery to communicate seamlessly over the internet. However, with this connectivity comes a unique set of challenges in securing these devices and ensuring they aren't a gateway for cyberattacks. This is where IoT penetration testing comes in. 

Testing methodologies play a pivotal role in identifying vulnerabilities and fortifying systems against potential attacks. Among these methodologies, the concepts of Black Box, Grey Box, and White Box testing are fundamental. Understanding these approaches and their applications can significantly enhance the effectiveness of a security strategy.

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.
