The Cyber Security Operations Centre (CSOC) frequently deals with alerts triggered by routine administrative changes, such as mailbox updates and user configuration modifications. When administrators use unknown or unmanaged devices, it introduces considerable cybersecurity risks to the organisation. Below are some key concerns:
Threat intelligence is more than just a collection of data points; it is the strategic gathering and analysis of information about potential or existing threats targeting your organisation or industry. This intelligence provides the evidence-based insights necessary to anticipate threat actors’ motives, behaviours, and targets, ultimately guiding informed decisions to strengthen your organisation’s defences.
Cyber attackers constantly seek new ways to trick users into granting access to their accounts. When a method proves effective, it often becomes more widespread in the hopes of repeated success. Over the past few weeks, there has been a growing trend involving using PDF links to disguise malicious links sent to targeted users.
Data breaches and ransomware attacks can have catastrophic effects on business operations. They can lead to loss of sensitive information, disruption of services, financial losses, and reputational damage.
The digital landscape is evolving rapidly, and one significant shift on the horizon is the move towards passwordless authentication. For years, passwords have been a necessary yet frustrating part of digital life, often failing to provide the security needed to protect businesses from cyber threats.
Partnering with a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) can offer a strategic solution to security management .
While this method isn’t new, it remains a prevalent phishing tactic.
It works by diverting users away from their secured devices, prompting them to scan and log in via their phones, which are often unmanaged. These devices typically lack protection from Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE) and Defender for Office (URL Click).
The importance of cybersecurity cannot be overstated—organisations face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats that have the potential to disrupt operations, compromise sensitive data, and erode consumer trust.
As cyberattacks become more frequent, sophisticated, and damaging, protecting your digital assets has never been more vital. In line with Microsoft’s $20 billion investment in security over the next five years and their commitment to enhancing security across its services in 2024, Microsoft is now introducing mandatory multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all Azure sign-ins.
Creating a cybersecurity culture means embedding security practices into the very fabric of your organisation.
