Pen testing, another name for penetration testing, is an essential part of a thorough cybersecurity plan. It simulates an attack by a malicious threat actor to assess a system or network's security. This blog explains why pen testing is still important in 2024 when we have a plethora of other security options. Come along to understand the penetration testing process and the benefits associated with outsourcing.

Recent security breaches have escalated the need for next-generation firewalls (NGFW) and the additional protection they provide against some of the largest and most ostensibly secure network systems. While traditional firewalls meet businesses' fundamental security requirements, NGFWs' capabilities are enhanced and expanded to accommodate larger enterprises with new and improved features. They provide a plethora of features, skills, and instruments that safeguard your network from contemporary cyber threats and shut off all potential points of entry. This blog will help you understand and find the right NGFW for your business based on the configuration of your network and the resources and tools you have for security.

The massive increase in cyber attacks and attempts at breaching networks and systems has led businesses to develop defences. One such defence mechanism is IDPS or the Intrusion Detection and Prevention System. It has been around for decades and continues to be an essential component of effective cyber hygiene. This blog will discuss intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPSs), their significance in network security, their various types and their working.

The threats to cyber security are growing more severe and systematic. A cyber attack can have serious short-term effects on a business. Still, the longer-term effects, including a loss of competitive advantage, a decline in credit score, and a rise in cyber insurance costs, can be even more significant. This blog will highlight the importance of a cyber security champion on the board to assist the businesses' direction and create a rapid recovery plan, to conquer cyber attacks successfully. We will also share some tips on handling a cyber attack and what to do following a data breach.

It is essential to thoroughly test every aspect of an organisation's IT infrastructure in order to improve the speed at which an IT department can respond to an attack and take the necessary safeguards to protect sensitive data from hackers. With the aid of pen-testing services, you can quickly identify high-risk locations and plan security efforts and expenditures accordingly. This blog is a thorough manual for negotiating the complex realm of pen testing. We've covered everything, from comprehending the complex nature of pen testing to delving into specifics of the UK's top 12 cyber security companies.

Why are AI-powered ransomware and phishing attacks among the top worries voiced by cyber-risk-aware decision-makers today? These attacks have the potential to destroy entire economies by focusing on vital infrastructure like transportation and power networks. AI is being used for cyber crimes, such as deepfakes, phishing emails, impersonation, and password cracking. To safeguard ourselves better, we must comprehend how AI is being used by cyber terrorists. This blog discusses the growing application of artificial intelligence (AI) in cyber security and how it can improve the efficacy and efficiency of security protocols.

Cyber crimes with greater sophistication pose a rising danger to cyber security in today's corporate environment. Considering how many endpoints are used to connect to networks, they are among the most often targeted targets. Studies show that by 2025, there will be 38.6 billion connected devices, and by 2030, there will be 50 billion. With this significant rise in the use of endpoint devices, endpoint security is the only solution that will provide layered protection from internal and external threats. This blog is our attempt to explain what endpoints are, what endpoint security is, and what its benefits are.

Cyber threats are growing at an alarming rate; therefore, you and your business need to stay safe. Taking a proactive approach to security is more important as it makes it possible to find, test, and fix security flaws beforehand. System hardening is a technique that lessens vulnerabilities in firmware, servers, apps, and other areas to avoid cyber attacks. Operating system hardening has evolved into a strategic defence against cyber threats. It assists in auditing all systems, identifying potential attack routes, and reducing the attack surface. In this blog, we will go over what system hardening is, why it's essential, and how to apply it to your business.
