Welcome to the blog — explore the latest insights, case studies and practical guidance.
Every day of delay in applying security patches increases the risk of an attack. Patch Management is one of the most fundamental, yet often neglected, activities in cybersecurity. What Is Patch Management? Patch management (also known as update management) is the process of identifying, testing, and deploying security patches in operating systems, applications, and devices.
In the era of automated cyberattacks and rapidly evolving threat vectors, continuous monitoring is not a luxury — it’s a necessity. It enables organisations to detect anomalies, respond to incidents in real time, and prevent attack escalation. What Is Continuous Threat Monitoring? Continuous monitoring is the process of uninterrupted collection, analysis, and correlation of security data from systems, networks, and applications in real time.
Every organisation that takes information security seriously needs clearly defined security policies and procedures. They form the backbone of an Information Security Management System (ISMS) and ensure consistency in data protection efforts. Why Policies and Procedures Matter Security policies define rules of conduct and employee responsibilities for protecting data and IT systems. Procedures describe how to implement those rules in practice.
Blockchain is synonymous with transparency and immutability, yet like every technology, it is not risk-free. Understanding its security model, real attack vectors, and effective mitigation strategies is essential for any organisation implementing or operating blockchain solutions. What blockchain really is Blockchain is a decentralised, cryptographically-chained distributed ledger (Distributed Ledger Technology – DLT). Each block contains a set of transactions that are permanently linked to previous blocks, creating an auditable chain of trust.
File sharing is a daily routine in every company — between teams, business partners, and clients. Yet without proper safeguards it can easily lead to data breaches, attacks, and severe financial loss. That’s why secure file sharing must be treated as a core business process. Why Secure File Sharing Matters Properly protected file exchange prevents:
Penetration testing (commonly called pentesting) is a controlled simulation of a real cyberattack against an organisation’s systems. The goal is to discover exploitable vulnerabilities before criminals do — making it one of the most powerful tools in proactive cybersecurity and IT risk management. What Penetration Testing Really Is A pentest is an authorised, ethical attempt by a skilled professional (ethical hacker) to breach systems, applications, or networks using the same techniques as malicious attackers. Everything is done with explicit permission, and the final deliverable is a detailed report with actionable remediation steps.
Effective cybersecurity is no longer just about prevention — it requires controlled simulation of real attacks. This is where the two complementary disciplines come in: Red Team (attackers) and Blue Team (defenders). Their interaction is the key to continuous security improvement. Red Team – The Ethical Attackers The Red Team is a group of specialists whose mission is to simulate real-world cyberattacks in an authorised, ethical manner. Their objectives:
In today’s threat landscape, reacting to incidents after they happen is no longer enough. Threat Intelligence (TI) gives organisations the ability to anticipate attacks before they strike. By turning raw data about adversaries, campaigns, and TTPs into actionable insight, TI transforms security from reactive to predictive. What Threat Intelligence Really Is Threat Intelligence is the disciplined process of:
In the era of digital transformation, personal data has become one of the most valuable assets any organisation holds. Unauthorised disclosure can lead to reputational damage, massive fines, and loss of customer trust. That’s why data privacy is not just a legal obligation — it’s a strategic business imperative. Why Data Privacy Matters Data privacy means protecting personal data from unauthorised access, alteration, loss, or disclosure. Proper protection:
Email is one of the oldest and most widely used business communication tools. At the same time, it remains the most common cyberattack vector — from phishing to ransomware delivery. Proper email protection is therefore a cornerstone of any organisation’s information security. Why Email Security Is Critical According to the Verizon DBIR, over 90% of cyberattacks start with an email. Malicious messages can:
