In this blog post, we will share our current understanding of the User Personas involved with Ricosity today. Job titles and responsibilities may vary, but the following User Personas are a reflection of the average users we meet who hold these roles at their organizations.

These days, businesses lean heavily on third-party vendors to boost efficiency and bring fresh ideas to the table. But with that reliance comes risk — from data breaches to compliance issues to disruptions that can ripple through your entire operation. That’s why it’s so important for technology leaders to put strong Third-Party Risk Assessments (TPRAs) in place.

‍Cyber security governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) programs are often viewed as cumbersome - a necessary yet costly component of doing business, providing very little value to the organization in terms of strategic impact. This narrow perception, unfortunately, limits the plethora of opportunities that a robust cyber security GRC framework would otherwise unlock.

A few months ago I received a call from my Grandma. She was concerned about having received a notification that she had been part of a data breach and wasn’t sure what to do about it. She had many seemingly basic, but good questions; What’s PII? I use the app on my iPad, is it safe to log into other applications like my bank? Is it safe to use my account? How do I know when it’s safe?

Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) is the backbone of modern cybersecurity investigations, helping analysts and law enforcement uncover threats, assess risks, and gather intelligence from publicly available sources. In this guide, we break down everything you need to know about OSINT, from key frameworks and tools to how it's used in cybersecurity.

For many security professionals, managing asset visibility feels like an endless game of whack-a-mole. They are stuck in what experts call the “swivel chair approach”—constantly pivoting between multiple dashboards, spreadsheets, and security tools to manually stitch together an understanding of their risk landscape.

Efficient cyber threat detection is the cornerstone of an effective cybersecurity program. This post ranks the top eight cyber threat detection tools dominating the cybersecurity solution market in 2025.

When you work with third parties, their risk is your risk. Common risks associated with vendors include everything from compliance risk to operational risk to financial and reputational loss. Vendor risk assessments can help your organization narrow down who to trust, and help you identify the level of risk you are taking on with your vendors.

In a hyper-connected world, security breaches continue to increase in size and scope. Cybersecurity threats come in various forms, from social engineering to database vulnerability exploitation. With that in mind, potential damages caused by these data breaches are more likely than ever, regardless of an organization’s size. To bolster your cybersecurity posture, you should put together a data breach response plan as a way to prepare your organization.

SQL Injection (SQL) also known as SQLI is a severe security vulnerability that allows attackers to interfere with the queries and applications made to its database. By inserting malicious SQL code into input fields, attackers can manipulate the database, leading to unauthorized data access, data corruption, or even complete system compromise. This attack technique is made possible because of improper coding of web applications.
