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. 

We continue our lookback at the biggest cyber attacks of 2024… so far. Read Part one HERE

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

With only 100 days remaining before the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) becomes enforceable, financial entities across the EU must act swiftly to ensure compliance. The clock is ticking, and organisations need to prepare now to meet the stringent requirements of this regulation by 17th January 2025. This blog delves into the five core pillars of DORA and how Integrity360 can assist your organisation in achieving compliance before the deadline. 

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. 

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. 

In today’s fast-paced and technology-driven world, having a robust Business Continuity Plan is crucial. However, a Business Continuity Plan is not complete without a strong focus on integrating threat detection and response mechanisms. In this blog, we'll explore why integrating threat detection and response is essential and how to effectively incorporate it into your Business Continuity Plan.
