Hey everyone, Let’s dive into how we can enhance cybersecurity resilience with some fresh, forward-thinking ideas. The digital landscape is constantly evolving, and our strategies need to keep up. Here are a few concepts that can help us stay ahead of the curve. 1. Decentralized Security Models Decentralized security, like blockchain, can help create a more secure network by distributing data across multiple nodes. This reduces single points of failure and makes it harder for attackers to compromise the system. 2. Adaptive Security Adaptive security systems use AI to learn and adapt to new threats in real-time. By constantly evolving, these systems can identify and mitigate threats more effectively, providing a dynamic defense mechanism. 3. Cyber Range Training Investing in cyber range environments allows cybersecurity professionals to simulate attacks and defenses in a controlled setting. This hands-on training improves their skills and readiness for real-world threats. 4. IoT Security Standards As the Internet of Things (IoT) grows, establishing robust security standards is crucial. By enforcing strict security protocols for IoT devices, we can prevent them from becoming entry points for cyber attacks. 5. Cloud Security Enhancements With more data moving to the cloud, enhancing cloud security through advanced encryption and continuous monitoring is essential. Multi-cloud strategies can also help distribute risk and increase resilience. 6. Behavioral Analytics Behavioral analytics can detect anomalies in user behavior, identifying potential threats that traditional methods might miss. This proactive approach can help stop attacks before they cause significant damage. 7. Global Threat Intelligence Sharing Creating platforms for real-time global threat intelligence sharing can enhance collective cybersecurity efforts. By pooling resources and knowledge, we can better anticipate and defend against emerging threats. Conclusion By adopting decentralized security, adaptive systems, and enhanced cloud protection, along with prioritizing hands-on training and global collaboration, we can build a more resilient cybersecurity framework. Let’s push for these innovations and work together to secure our digital future. What other ideas do you think can boost our cybersecurity resilience? Let’s discuss! #Cybersecurity #Innovation #AdaptiveSecurity #Blockchain #IoT #CloudSecurity #ThreatIntelligence

How can AI help manage change and transformation in policing? We explored five different avenues in our latest article - https://lnkd.in/ejHZRZFQ I'm really looking forward to delving further into this topic at Georgie Morgan and Paul Briscoe's keynote on the impact of AI across the Criminal Justice sector at GovNet Events - Modernising Criminal Justice this week! What are your thoughts on the ethical implications and concerns around the use of AI within the sector? How can we ensure these technologies have a positive impact for everyone and don't perpetuate bias? #MCJ24 #criminaljustice #policing #AI #ethicalAI

Great to see the success of the UK's cyber security certification scheme Cyber Essentials. It gives businesses a clear framework of goals to achieve, improving their security and business continuity, as well as opening eligibility to wider procurement opportunities. Those certified are 92% less likely to make a cyber insurance claim than those who aren't. Luapsafe's dashboard is helping businesses and IT managers to easily gather the information for their applications, as well as provide continuous deep insights into people, technology and process security.

Last month, the Ministry of Defence experienced a large-scale cyber attack through third-party provider Shared Services Connected LTD (SSCL), compromising the personal data of an estimated 250,000 army personnel. At Barings Law, we understand the impact this breach has had on those affected. In response, we have launched a compensation claim for victims of the breach, with many of those feeling let down and uncertain about their futures, particularly those with high-security clearance positions who now fear the loss of their jobs and personal safety. For further information about the breach and the action we are taking on behalf of those affected, read our latest press release: https://lnkd.in/dyZnjczw #MinistryofDefence #DataBreach #CyberAttack #LawNews #TechNews

Last week, the MI5 DG - Ken McCallum, gave an update on UK National Security threats. Many of these also cross over to the USA and multiple other countries that businesses will find themselves operating within. What does this mean for everyday business travel, the protection of at-risk individuals, and special event security? This article tries to answer some of those questions.

This webinar is your one-stop shop for exploring exciting opportunities in cybersecurity! Our expert panel are Colin Grimes from TechVets Fasil Malik from ISACA and Tom Holloway from Redcentric Cyber The panel of experts acknowledge that most veterans don’t necessarily have cyber security backgrounds, but their soft skills, such as the ability to see the bigger picture, communicate effectively and manage projects, are highly sought after in this field. Here are some key takeaways from the webinar: Network: LinkedIn is a great place to start connecting with people in the industry. Look for veterans who have already made the transition and reach out to them for advice. There are also cybersecurity events and meetups that you can attend including the Veteran UK event in Manchester on 24th July coming up. Consider getting certified, there are a number of certifications available that can help you stand out to potential employers. Don’t chase the money, focus on finding a role that is a good fit for you and your lifestyle. Leverage the resources available to you, there are a number of organisations that can help veterans transition into careers in cyber security, such as Tech Vets, ISACA and our ELC specialists here at BIT Training. The panel also mentioned that they will be running a series of webinars in the future specifically for veterans who are interested in careers in cyber security. Send us your thoughts to what you want to see next. You can find more information about these webinars on the BlT Training website and LinkedIn pages. https://zurl.co/n6Vl

NIS2 is very nearly real, live and required! This weeks recommended reading is The National Cyber Security Bill 2024 that was published by the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications last week. - The Bill outlines new cybersecurity requirements that your company may need to adhere to, ensuring you stay compliant with national regulations. - Understanding the Bill helps you identify potential risks and vulnerabilities in your network that the NCSC might proactively scan for, allowing you to strengthen your defences. It's not an insignificant read and gives wide ranging powers to the National Cyber Security Centre, Ireland (NCSC-IE) Some things of note are: - The NCSC now has the ability to scan internal networks, with your consent, to improve cybersecurity - The NCSC is getting real teeth under the 2024 Bill—think proactive scanning, DNS blocking, and even temporary sensor deployment on critical networks. - The NCSC is officially Ireland’s cybersecurity watchdog under the 2024 Bill, with powers to act on everything from botnets to malware https://lnkd.in/ewKVCT57 Armis, Barry O'Brien

In safety management it’s understood that context is key. A mitigation that is reliable and adequate in one space may be unreliable and inadequate in another, simply due to that change in context. From my understanding of security risk management, I would say the same is true. The context and how that potentially alters the nature of the data and its protection, must be understood and articulated in the security risk management strategy.
