Updates to the Essential 8 Maturity Model and the implications for your business. The Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) has made significant updates to the Essential 8 Maturity Model (E8MM). There’s strong emphasis on patching, MFA, administration privileges, application control, and incident protection and response, so organisations need to assess which updates are relevant to their maturity level and apply them appropriately.   The key action resulting from the changes is the assessment of your existing cyber security maturity against the updated standards, and the implementation of these updates to ensure you have the right level of defence for your organisation.   Read our blog to find out more about these changes: https://lnkd.in/gNMmZJKz #cybersecurity #managedserviceprovider #mfa

🔑 Authentication: The First Line of Defence in Cyber Security 🔑 Authentication is the cornerstone of securing digital systems, yet it's often overlooked. From simple passwords to multi-factor authentication (MFA), ensuring users are who they claim to be is essential in preventing unauthorised access and safeguarding sensitive information. At North IT, we’ve just published an article that delves into the importance of authentication, common weaknesses, and best practices for reinforcing this critical layer of defence. Whether you're managing a business or developing applications, understanding and implementing robust authentication measures is vital for a secure environment. 👉 Discover more about securing your systems: Authentication - North IT - https://lnkd.in/eRw89pDm Let’s work together to build a stronger, more secure digital world! 🔒 #CyberSecurity #Authentication #MFA #NorthIT #DigitalSecurity #TechInsights

🔐 Breaches When MFA is in Place: A Reminder That No System is Infallible While Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is the gold standard for protecting accounts, cybercriminals are finding ways to bypass even these advanced safeguards. In the latest NSCP Currents article, Madison Dewey, Senior Risk Associate at Fairview Cyber, explores how breaches still occur even when MFA is implemented. 📊 Key Highlights: - Push Notification Spamming: Cyber attackers overwhelm users with notifications until they accept one, granting access. - Social Engineering: Hackers may impersonate helpdesk agents or service providers to trick users into granting access. - Endpoint Compromise: Malware can allow attackers to bypass MFA by accessing a device’s session cookies. - Cookie Capture: By stealing browser cookies, cyber actors can bypass MFA and take control of user accounts.   It’s essential to remember that MFA alone isn’t enough. Firms should couple MFA with strong password security, employee training and a zero-trust framework to stay ahead of evolving threats. 👉 Learn more about these critical defenses in the full article: https://lnkd.in/eM2Wze62 🌐 Not a member?

October is Cyber Security Awareness Month and the Australian Department of Home Affairs wants you to know that cyber security is everyone’s business.   A not so fun fact – according to our Notifiable Data Breaches report, cyber security incidents were the cause of 38% of all data breaches reported to the OAIC between January to June 2024. To mitigate the risks of an incident and keep your customer’s data safe, start by: ➡️requiring multi-factor authentication ➡️implementing password management policies ➡️layering security controls ➡️making sure users have appropriate levels of access to information ➡️ensuring strong security monitoring is in place. #NDB2024 #Databreach
