Yes, you read that right: Every. Day. What's even more alarming? Nearly a quarter of these were inadvertently enabled by people, with attackers using methods like phishing (where they trick you into clicking malicious links) and exploiting remote services to sneak into systems. Attackers are getting smarter, using everyday tools on your computer to carry out what's known as 'living-off-the-land' attacks. They manipulate accounts and software vulnerabilities, and even trick employees into giving them access. The faster these incidents are reported, the quicker they can be stopped. On average, severe issues were reported in about 36 minutes – that's quick, but every second counts. Despite a drop in high-severity incidents, the risk hasn't decreased. Cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated and damaging. It's crucial to not just have cyber security protection but to make sure it’s managed by experienced professionals. Automated tools are great, but I believe human expertise is irreplaceable for spotting and stopping the smartest attacks. As always, our advice is to 1) make sure everyone on your team knows the basics of cyber security, 2) have experts monitor your systems (the LCS Team can help with this), and 3) to keep your software up to date to avoid vulnerabilities.

HM Revenue & Customs has made provision for an £81m spend on Microsoft #Azure services with IT reseller Softcat plc - a contract with an initial three-year term and an option to extend for a further 12 months under Crown Commercial Service’s Technology Products and Associated Services 2 framework. The move reflects HMRC’s long term migration of #legacy #systems to the Azure cloud, which has seen the rehosting of a number of business services. https://lnkd.in/esWD5EvG

⚠️ A number of NHS trust security leaders have asked me recently what’s the one project they should prioritise heading into Autumn. 💡My answer - Supply chain audit. There are a lot of things NHS trusts should be doing but getting control of the supply chain is paramount. You need to understand whether: - Your existing vendors are complying with standards and can prove it - Your legal contracts cover cybersecurity and patient safety requirements - Your upcoming procurements include all the necessary regulatory safeguards I know for many in the NHS it’ll be the first time attempting what seems like a large and daunting exercise. It doesn’t have to be. There are quick wins if you take a structured approach. If this is an endeavour you plan on committing to as an NHS leader then I am happy to have a chat to point you in the right direction. The same goes for IT suppliers.

Thought for Tuesday: Project Name: Software Audit Situation The client was unsure as to the level of software and their relevant licenses. Tasks I was engaged to review all the clients test rigs for installed applications. Actions I produced scripts both in BASH and DOS to enable interrogation of each Test Rig, This was completed remotely where possible or manual if no network was available where portable media was used to gather the information. I collected the relevant data onto portable media and produced a SQL database to store all results. Results I successfully produced data that was shared with the Purchasing department to allow an alignment of existing licenses over requirements which resulted in a saving of over £400K If you have similar requirements, or other Linux, DevOps, Migration, or Security needs; please contact me, and see how I can help.
