Every device connected to the corporate network — laptop, desktop, tablet, or smartphone — can become an entry point for cybercriminals.
In the era of remote and hybrid work, endpoint security is one of the most critical components of organisational protection.
Why Endpoint Security Matters Endpoints are frequently the weakest link in the security chain.
Malware infection, device theft, or a single user mistake can lead to data breaches and compromise the entire corporate network.

Data loss is one of the most serious threats to any company — regardless of size.
A ransomware attack, disk failure, or human error can paralyse operations in minutes.
That’s why regular backups and a solid recovery plan are the foundation of cybersecurity and business continuity strategies.
Why Backups Matter Backups protect against data loss caused by:

No organisation is completely immune to cyberattacks.
That’s why having an Incident Response Plan (IRP) is crucial — it enables quick identification, containment, and elimination of threats.
A good plan minimises financial, operational, and reputational losses, and shortens the time to restore systems to full functionality.
Why an Incident Response Plan Matters The response plan is the foundation of an effective security strategy.
It allows:

In every company, employees are the real first line of defence against cyberattacks.
Even the most advanced technical controls are useless if the team doesn’t recognise threats and follow safe practices.
That’s why regular cybersecurity awareness training is one of the most effective (and cheapest) ways to protect data and reputation.

Strong passwords are still the first line of defence against hacking and data leaks.
Even with the rise of passwordless authentication, most organisations continue to rely on passwords as the primary authentication mechanism.
That’s why it’s crucial to know how to create and rigorously enforce effective password policies.
Why Strong Passwords Still Matter Strong passwords prevent unauthorised access to systems, applications, and corporate data.
They protect against brute-force, credential-stuffing, phishing, and stolen-credential attacks.

In an era of daily phishing attacks and massive password leaks, two-factor authentication (2FA) has become a fundamental pillar of digital security.
It’s a simple yet incredibly powerful way to protect both personal and corporate accounts.
What Is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)? 2FA is an authentication method that requires two separate forms of identity verification — usually a password plus an additional factor (code, app, or physical device).
Even if a cybercriminal steals your password, they still can’t log in without the second factor.

In today’s landscape of increasingly advanced cyberattacks, antivirus and antimalware software form the first line of defence.
They protect computers, servers and networks from viruses, trojans, ransomware, phishing and other forms of malware.
🧠 What antivirus and antimalware actually are Antivirus and antimalware are tools designed to scan, detect and remove malicious software.
They protect systems from viruses, trojans, spyware, adware, ransomware and many other threats.

Network firewalls are one of the oldest and most effective mechanisms for protecting computer networks.
Their task is to monitor and control traffic between the internal network (e.g., corporate) and the external one (e.g., the Internet).
It is the firewall that decides which connections are safe and which should be blocked.

Phishing is one of the most widespread cyberattack techniques today. Cybercriminals impersonate trusted entities (banks, courier companies, government offices, or even your CEO) to steal login credentials, passwords, credit-card details, or other sensitive data.
The method is simple – yet it remains extremely effective because it exploits the human factor.

Cybersecurity risk assessment is the foundation of effective information security management.
It helps understand which systems and data are most vulnerable to attacks, what the potential impacts of incidents could be, and what actions to take to minimise risk.
In this article, I outline seven key steps for assessing risk in IT and OT environments.
