In today’s digital-first world, adopting artificial intelligence (AI) brings remarkable benefits, but it also introduces significant cyber security and compliance risks. To help mitigate these risks and align with AI governance best practices, a comprehensive AI risk assessment is crucial. This strategic approach not only enhances cyber resilience but also ensures your organisation meets regulatory compliance standards like GDPR, NIS2, and DORA. Here’s how your company can implement an effective AI risk assessment framework to secure a leading position in ethical AI adoption and risk management.

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.

October is a pivotal month for cybersecurity awareness, making it the perfect time to highlight the critical role Microsoft Defender XDR plays in cloud detection and response. As part of Integrity360’s Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solution, Defender XDR is instrumental in identifying and mitigating threats in cloud environments. In a landscape where cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated and persistent, Defender XDR provides a unified, comprehensive defence system that is essential for organisations today.

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. 

Data security is and will always be one of the top priorities for every organisation. It’s not just a valuable asset - it’s high-risk and often the primary target for threat actors. The risk of exposure has grown significantly as data moves into cloud apps. Consider this: according to the 2024 AppOmni State of SaaS Security Report, 30% of 644 organisations surveyed suffered a data breach in their SaaS applications last year

In the fast-paced realm of cyber security, it's easy to assume that as new technologies emerge, the old ones fall away. Does this really apply to Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), with some questioning whether it's still relevant. Is CSPM dead, as some would suggest, or has it simply evolved into a more complex form? The short answer: CSPM is very much alive, but it now operates within a broader framework. Let’s explore what CSPM was designed to do, how it’s now integrated into Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPP), and why it remains the foundation for many of your cloud security challenges. 

In today's digital world, cyber security threats evolve at an alarming rate, making it increasingly difficult for businesses to keep up. Traditional methods such as Penetration Testing or Red Team Testing are often limited to one-off or periodic engagements, which while essential and valuable, may leave gaps in continuous visibility of exposure. This is where Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) steps in, offering a proactive, cyclical approach to ensure businesses are always ahead of the curve.  

The constant influx of CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) can make it difficult for businesses to keep up, leaving critical assets at risk. Added to this, organsations also have to deal with many other types of exposures, such as inappropriate identity permissions, or cloud platform misconfigurations. To address this challenge, Integrity360 is now offering Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) as a Service, providing organisations with a comprehensive solution to identify, prioritise, and manage the greatest risks to their critical assets, whether on-premises, in the cloud, or in a hybrid environment.
