Despite the industry's rapid growth, women account for only 25% of cyber security jobs globally as of 2022, with projections indicating that this could rise to 30% by 2025. However, leadership roles remain markedly underrepresented, particularly in the UK, highlighting persistent gaps in diversity.

Data poisoning is a type of attack targeting machine learning systems. It involves introducing false or misleading data into a training dataset. This can lead to flawed or malicious outputs from the model. Imagine a machine learning system trained to distinguish between cats and dogs. If poisoned data featuring mislabeled images is fed into it, the system could start making mistakes. It might misidentify a cat as a dog or vice versa.

A vulnerability assessment systematically evaluates the security of an organisation’s IT infrastructure, aiming to uncover potential flaws. This process not only identifies weaknesses but also provides a roadmap for addressing these vulnerabilities before they are exploited by malicious actors. Through a series of structured steps, including identification, classification, analysis, and remediation, organisations can significantly enhance their cyber security posture.

Threat intelligence is the process of gathering, analysing, and applying information about current and potential cyber threats to help organisations protect themselves proactively. It involves monitoring threat actors, attack patterns, vulnerabilities, and global cyber activity to provide actionable insights. Unlike traditional reactive approaches to cyber security, threat intelligence enables businesses to anticipate threats and tailor their defences accordingly.

This innovative approach to security testing combines the benefits of a consultant-led penetration test and vulnerability assurance through a technologically advanced SecurePortal, providing a living threat system to its clients and benefit through the life of the contract rather than just a single point in time.

  • Web Application Testing: Vulnerabilities in modern-day Web Applications have become a major entry point to corporate networks and also have led to many high-profile security breaches.
  • Social Engineering: Pentest People can help you design, plan and execute a Social Engineering engagement that can assess your business-critical controls, policies and procedures within your organisation.
