The World Health Organisation (WHO) recently hosted a webinar to discuss the critical importance of cybersecurity in the healthcare sector, which highlighted the severity of the situation the industry is currently facing. Healthcare organisations are increasingly relying on digital systems to facilitate their daily workflow, but the prevalence of outdated legacy technology in the sector is rendering it vulnerable to cyberattacks with severe consequences.

Achieving Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act compliance is becoming more difficult. While the Act is primarily a financial reporting regulation, it requires all publicly traded companies operating in the United States to maintain the integrity, accuracy, and reliability of financial reporting, which those organizations can only achieve through robust cybersecurity measures. As such, an effective cybersecurity strategy is crucial for achieving SOX compliance.

This week, during LandForces 2024 archTIS announced the launch of archTIS Trusted Data Integration, a new lightweight, fast, and agile solution for integrating, securing, and governing sensitive and classified structured data from multiple sources at scale and speed.

Let’s talk about a less discussed but critical aspect of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) – data management. While the primary goals of SIEM include threat detection, regulatory compliance, and swift response, the backbone of these systems is log message ingestion and storage. The amount of machine data generated from various systems, applications, and security tools is staggering. Storing and processing this data can be costly and inefficient.

Plus, how to make online safety part of the daily conversations you have with them.

The Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment program(BEAD) provides regional ISPs (RSPs) a once-in-a-generation opportunity to finally offer quality broadband service to the many unserved and underserved communities that are so physically or financially challenging to reach. While the application and approval process to receive funding has been arduous and has consumed more time than hoped, it has been necessary to cleanly identify locations in need.

Zero Trust is no longer a nice-to-have - it’s a must-have. According to Cisco, over 86% of enterprise organizations have started rolling out a Zero Trust framework to protect their business-critical information and ensure regulatory compliance, but only 2% have successfully implemented a mature ZT architecture. Zero Trust is no longer a nice-to-have - it’s a must-have.

You may be asking, “why are they changing the questions?” Well, the threat landscape is always changing, so the way we react to those threats needs to change too. This is the only way to make sure that your business stays secure, in addition to it bringing the scheme up-to-date with current security practices. Cyber Essentials will still continue to focus on the five key technical controls which are the best first line of defence against a potential threat.

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a cryptographic protocol designed to provide secure communication between web browsers and servers. It is used in almost every app nowadays. Many IP-based protocols such as HTTPS, SMTP, POP3, and FTP support TLS. Disable TLS 1.0 is a critical task for security and compliance.
