Firewalls are not glamourous. They rarely make headlines, and when they work well you barely notice them. Yet in 2025, when your business depends on cloud apps, remote users, and always-on services, the humble firewall still carries a lot of weight. Think of your network like a building. You have doors, corridors, lifts, and a steady stream of visitors. A firewall is the front desk and the security team. It lets the right people in, keeps the wrong people out, and spots odd behaviour before it becomes a problem. 

Unlocking the full potential of Microsoft’s built-in security capabilities takes more than just a licence. It requires cyber security expertise, strategic alignment with business goals, and smart implementation. That’s where Integrity360 comes in.

With cyber criminals developing more sophisticated online and offline threats, security breaches are a matter of if, not when.

Cyber security is not a concern reserved only for large enterprises. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are firmly in the crosshairs of cyber criminals too and with the increasing reliance on digital tools, cloud platforms and remote work their attack surface is large.

As operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) environments continue to converge, industrial organisations are facing more threats than ever. Cyberattacks on OT systems have increased dramatically in recent years, making it critical for businesses to understand how to secure their environments. In this blog, we answer some of the most common questions about OT security and how Integrity360 helps organisations build resilient, secure, and compliant operations.

As cyber threats grow in volume and sophistication, many mid-sized organisations are turning to Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services to strengthen their defences. But not all MDR solutions are created equal. Choosing the right partner can make the difference between proactive protection and constant firefighting.

Ransomware attacks have surged in recent months causing huge disruption and financial losses to some big companies.  Many organisations are ill-equipped to tackle attackers who continuously probe for weaknesses. That’s where Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)as a service comes in.Offering a proactive, data-driven approach that helps reduce ransomware risks before they become full blown incidents. 

With the pace of change in the realm of cyber security constantly accelerating, waiting for the next security audit or penetration test is no longer enough. With cyber criminals exploiting exposures at pace, and the number of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) rising year-on-year with a record breaking 40,009 in 2024, organisations must rethink how they manage risk. The days of relying on periodic scans and reactive patching are over.

Cyber threats to Operational Technology (OT) environments are an active and growing concern for industrial organisations. From ransomware paralysing utilities to compromised suppliers exposing production lines, attackers are becoming more sophisticated, and the stakes have never been higher. 

Operational Technology (OT) environments are vital to industries like manufacturing, energy, utilities, and transportation, to name but a few. Indeed most organisations have some degree of OT infrastructure in place. But as these systems become increasingly interconnected with IT networks, they’ve also become a growing target for cybercriminals. A single breach can bring production lines to a standstill, impact economies, compromise safety, and inflict long-lasting reputational and financial damage. 

With the increasing sophistication of cyber threats, businesses need more than just security tools—they need expert-driven, proactive defence. Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services provide this, but not all MDR solutions are created equal. Choosing the right provider can mean the difference between efficient threat detection and response or drowning in alert noise and ineffective security measures.
