In the most recent Cyber Threat report from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), it is clear that UK law firms are a gold mine for cybercriminals. Given the large sums of money and highly sensitive information that is handled, it's no question as to why UK law firms would be an attractive target for threat actors.

First National Bank has warned of an increase in phishing and smishing attacks, IT-Online reports. Trish Ramdhani, head of fraud at FNB Card, stated, “In recent cases, some consumers received SMSes claiming that their bank requires them to urgently FICA by clicking on a link that takes them to the fraudster’s platform, where their information is then compromised.

Security teams use tools like Microsoft Sentinel to aggregate their security events, alert on threat detection, and most importantly, orchestrate threat responses through a variety of automated playbooks. By providing both Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) functionality, Sentinel enables teams to respond to threats quickly and efficiently.

In today’s ever-evolving digital landscape, organizations operating in regulated industries face the challenge of meeting stringent regulatory requirements to ensure the security and privacy of their systems and data. NIST compliance, guided by key NIST publications, plays a vital role in helping organizations navigate these complex regulatory landscapes effectively.

Say you’re a medium-sized financial organization. Your clients trust you to not only provide excellent financial services, but to keep their money, financial data, and personal data safe. Unfortunately, the amount of money you store and move attracts a wide array of cybercriminals. Staying safe can become complicated, but no bank, trust, or credit union wants to gain headlines and lose customers over a breach. That’s where SOC2 (System and Organization Controls), can make a major difference.

Tanium and Microsoft allow customers to implement a zero-trust ecosystem, bringing visibility, control, and remediation to security and operations teams.

Penetration testing is a crucial part of a comprehensive cybersecurity plan. By simulating a real-world attack, a penetration test can help identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses across systems, networks, and applications before a malicious actor can exploit them. To get off on the right foot with a penetration test and get an accurate timeline and budget for the test, it’s important to have a proper scope. Learn how to scope a penetration test from the perspective of the Sedara Red Team.

In cybersecurity, being well-versed in the wide range of resources available for protecting and enhancing your digital environment is crucial. One of the most significant and effective tools is the Mitre ATT&CK Framework. Read on for an in-depth exploration of this critical cybersecurity framework and how you can apply it to your own organization.

The Center for Internet Security (CIS) defines CIS Critical Security Controls as: “A prioritized set of Safeguards to mitigate the most prevalent cyberattacks against systems and networks.” Essentially, CIS Controls are a framework of actions that organizations can take to improve their overall security posture. These controls are organized into categories and updated frequently to address emerging threats and technologies. In this article, we’ll look deeper into all 18 controls.

The main difference between the deep web and the dark web is that the deep web is bigger and used every day by most people without even realizing it.
