October Cybersecurity Awareness: Stay ahead of cybercrime https://hubs.la/Q02V2TKP0 The accelerating pace of cybercrime demands that businesses evolve their cybersecurity practices to stay ahead. Traditional defenses like firewalls and antivirus tools are no longer enough. As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, businesses must adopt a comprehensive, proactive approach to protect their data and systems. Consider Managed Detection and Response (MDR) for 24/7 monitoring and real-time threat mitigation. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools are crucial for securing the growing number of remote devices in today’s workforce. Email security is essential as phishing remains a key attack vector, while offsite backups are critical for ransomware defense. Breaches like those experienced by TalkTalk and Marriott are stark reminders that without rigorous, updated measures, businesses can face significant financial and reputational damage. #cybercrime #cybersecurity

5 Reasons to choose a managed security services partner https://hubs.la/Q02V2GHZ0 As cyberattacks become more frequent and sophisticated, managing security in-house can quickly become overwhelming. Businesses need comprehensive strategies that can anticipate and neutralize attacks before they cause harm. Partnering with a Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) offers access to advanced systems like Microsoft Sentinel and Managed SOC services, which provide 24/7 expert monitoring and AI-driven threat detection. These solutions offer five key advantages: - Holistic visibility across your entire digitl attack surface. - Global threat intelligence to stay ahead of attacks across regions. - AI-enhanced detection for faster, more precise remediation. - Accurate threat identification to distinguish between malicious and benign entities. - Proactive threat hunting to uncover lurking risks before they escalate. By leveraging the expertise and technology of a managed security partner, organizations can maintain a resilient security posture without the burden of managing everything internally. How prepared is your business to face increasingly sophisticated threats?

The Manchester Move cyber attack this past summer is a stark reminder of how vulnerable public services remain to cybersecurity breaches. Manchester Move Cyber Attack: Learnings and how to stay protected https://hubs.la/Q02TWRgk0 A vulnerability in Locata’s housing software, used by multiple councils, led to a phishing scam that targeted thousands of residents, exposing their personal data. This isn’t just an isolated incident—it reflects broader risks that organisations face when relying on third-party vendors without stringent security protocols in place. Vendor risk management is often overlooked but is critical to reducing exposure. Organisations need to continuously vet and audit their external partners. Unfortunately, the Manchester Move incident shows how quickly vulnerabilities can be exploited when this doesn’t happen. But beyond vendor security, the human element—phishing—is still a prevalent threat. Regular employee training on recognising these threats is essential, yet many organisations fall short in building a robust security culture. It’s clear that a proactive IT strategy is no longer optional. Businesses must move from a reactive stance to one that anticipates threats. This means implementing strong defences like Security Operations Centres (SOC) for 24/7 monitoring, ensuring regular backups, and investing in recovery plans. Most importantly, it involves fostering awareness across all levels of an organisation to mitigate the impact of phishing and other attacks. Ultimately, cybersecurity is as much about resilience as it is about prevention. With the increasing sophistication of attacks, businesses should take this as a call to ensure their cybersecurity measures are continuously evolving. It’s not just about technology—it’s about foresight, preparation, and creating a security-first mindset across all operations. #cyberattack #soc #security #it

Protecting your business from the inside out https://hubs.la/Q02TBr440 Small businesses are three times more likely to face cyberattacks than large firms, often resulting in significant financial and operational losses. The key lies in protecting your business from within. In 2024 alone, half of UK businesses reported being targeted, with internal weaknesses like human error playing a critical role. Implementing robust access controls, regular audits, and effective incident response plans are essential first steps. Additionally, promoting cybersecurity awareness across your team is vital.
