London, UK, August 7th, 2024 - We are proud to announce that The Cyber Helpline is a finalist in this year's National Cyber Awards, for the fourth year in a row! The awards are now in their sixth year which recognise outstanding contributions and achievements in cybersecurity. Our charity has been a finalist and won the prestigious Not for Profit Award in 2021, 2022 and 2023. As digital threats continue to grow, the importance of cybersecurity cannot be overstated.

Recent events have highlighted the importance of robust quality assurance (QA) processes. At SenseOn, we understand that any disruption to your IT operations is unacceptable and that round-the-clock security is essential. That's why we've built a comprehensive QA framework that prioritises the stability, reliability, and effectiveness of our XDR platform - ensuring we support you in growing your company.

Running tests against your security controls and other systems is a critical aspect of protecting your organization from a potential data breach and ensuring that you maintain compliance. Vanta’s platform has automated tests with continuous monitoring that run on an hourly basis against your controls as well as customized tests that you can adapt to your organization's needs.

The prevalence of APIs in today's digital environment is undeniable. They are crucial for modern applications, enabling seamless communication and data exchange between different software components. The rise of AI and machine learning has further accelerated API adoption, not only for accessing data and resources but also for rapid API development and deployment.

In today’s rapidly changing and evolving cloud-native environments, security and infrastructure teams face challenges ranging from managing complex deployments to ensuring capability across their entirety of their diverse infrastructure. EDR and XDR tools cannot provide comprehensive coverage of cloud workloads, making them fundamentally unsuited for cloud security.

In recent years, almost every major cloud breach has been marked by overly permissive credentials, followed by lateral movement and privilege escalation. These vulnerabilities have allowed attackers to navigate through systems with ease, escalating their privileges to cause significant harm. It’s crucial for cloud threat responders to be aware of threats as they occur and to be able to contain these attacks swiftly and effectively.

If you’ve been keeping up with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), you’ll know it has a new specification that revolves around network security controls. Let’s dig into the details.

In the ever-evolving world of cybersecurity, dealing with cyberattacks has become a daunting challenge for organizations across the globe. The aftermath of such attacks can be catastrophic, leaving organizations stymied for weeks or even months as they scramble to determine the true scope of an attack through recovering their data and systems.

The months leading up to audits can be some of the most stressful for security and privacy teams. Some audits can take up to 9 months to prepare for and another 3 months to complete, with security and privacy teams spearheading the evidence collection. Collecting evidence used to be a walk in the park, but that was before multi-cloud environments, new standards, and emerging regional privacy requirements.

A report from Darktrace has found that 62% of phishing emails in the first half of 2024 were able to bypass DMARC verification checks in order to reach users’ inboxes. “Building on the insights from the 2023 End of Year Threat Report, an analysis of malicious emails detected by Darktrace / EMAIL in 2024 underscores the implication that email threats are increasingly capable of circumventing conventional email security tools,” the report says.
