Use Sheep Dipping To Prevent The Spread Of Malware
A farmer takes a risk when introducing new sheep into their flock as the new sheep may carry parasites that may spread through the flock, infecting all sheep and causing significant losses to the farmer. Introducing new sheep to the flock is, however, unavoidable and therefore the risk must be accepted – unless it can be mitigated.
Data Backups: When They Work And When They Don’t
Backing up data is an essential part of data security and data security is essential to the functioning of every digitally-enabled data-driven organisation. Data security ensures Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability – the CIA triad i.e., data hasn’t been accessed by unauthorised users, hasn’t been modified without authorisation, and is available to access by authorised users. Data backups protect against accidental deletion/modification, hardware failure, natural disasters, and cyber attacks.
From Noise to Knowledge: How Threat Intelligence Makes SIEM Alerts Actionable
When modern businesses began embracing digital transformation at the beginning of this millennium, they soon encountered a problem that is as evident today as it was then: the attack surface is too large and diverse for each element to be monitored individually.
Prioritising VAPT Based On The OWASP Top 10

Why You Should Choose A CERT-In Empanelled Cybersecurity Auditor
Cybersecurity is now one of the most important, if not the most important, success factors for a digitally-enabled organisation as lack of adequate cybersecurity can result in brand impairment, impact profitability, and even result in cessation of business operations. Cybersecurity is also critical from a compliance perspective as severe penalties can be imposed for non-compliance with regulations.
The Future of Antivirus: AI, Machine Learning, and Cloud-Based Protection
Computers have needed antivirus ever since computers began entering the mainstream. Viruses were created as soon as computers grew beyond specialised use and could be used for meaningful activity by a larger section of the public. Some viruses were just pranks, but the viruses we are familiar with are a lot more serious and can be severely destructive. Worryingly, the destructive impact of viruses is growing as we live in an increasingly interconnected and digitally-enabled world.
The Dark Web: What It Is, How Hackers Use It, and Why It Matters
The internet is ubiquitous in our daily lives, like electricity; and just like electricity, we use it without being aware of its nuances. The increase in cyberattacks, however, has made the dark web prominent as we hear of it being used by hackers. What is the dark web and is there a risk of us accidentally stumbling into this part of the internet and facing adverse consequences? Let’s find out.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is frequently presented as the ultimate solution to credential theft.
vCISO: The Strategic Solution for Small and Mid-Sized Enterprises

You Don’t Need To Develop Cybersecurity To Access The Growing Cybersecurity Solutions Market
The cybersecurity market is rapidly expanding across the world, estimated at $245.62 billion in 2024 and projected to reach $500.70 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 12.9%. The market is driven by the highly destructive impact of cyberattacks, stringent penalties, litigation, and brand impairment caused by cybersecurity events. The huge demand for cybersecurity is an opportunity for many firms but they face several challenges in offering cybersecurity solutions to their customers.
What We Can Learn from Cyberattacks on Defence Agencies
Defence agencies are responsible for safeguarding nations and therefore can be expected to emphasise both physical and digital security for their own operations, as their security has a direct impact on national security. Nevertheless, defence agencies do get cyberattacked and analysing how such security-sensitive organisations are attacked helps enterprises understand where they should augment cybersecurity.
Preserving Stakeholder Value by Enhancing Enterprise Cybersecurity
