This month’s bulletin covers major stories, including the resurgence of the LockBit ransomware group, a significant data breach at Ticketmaster, and the growing problem of cybersecurity burnout. Learn how these events are shaping the digital landscape and what to watch for next.
Blacklisting vs Whitelisting vs Greylisting
When it comes to cybersecurity access, there are several user access control techniques that are crucial to understand. They are made up of greylists, whitelists, and blacklists. Since each of the three approaches has benefits and drawbacks, your organisation's goals and needs will determine the ideal strategy. Let's look at each one of them.
How to Conduct a Basic Cyber Security Audit?
Cyber crimes are gaining speed as the world goes digital. Regular examination of the cybersecurity risks that your company faces, together with the policies, practices, and controls in place, can reduce those risks. This process, called cybersecurity auditing, helps businesses put corrective measures in place to strengthen their cybersecurity. This blog will be your guide for conducting a thorough audit and a follow-up so that you can effectively navigate the path to cyber safety.
data classification
It's critical for an organisation to manage and utilise the massive amounts of data at its disposal. Data classification helps in doing exactly that. It is the process of dividing and classifying data into appropriate groups according to its degree of sensitivity, the risks it poses, and the compliance laws that safeguard it. In this blog, we will discuss the specifics of data classification, offering vital information on different types, classification requirements, benefits, and more.

Cryptographic attacks
In cyber security, cryptography serves as a protective layer for your digital realm. Lately, cryptographic attacks have become a severe threat. Hackers are using advanced techniques to target cryptographic solutions, such as encryption keys, ciphertext, etc. Cryptographic attacks take advantage of flaws in cryptography systems, which highlights the need to comprehend and strengthen your cryptographic defences. This blog will explain precisely what cryptography is, the different kinds of crypto attacks, and how to defend against these cyberattacks.
Understanding SOC Operations and Processes
Businesses can suffer significantly from cybersecurity breaches, but these expenses can be minimised. How? Well, with a security operations centre. SOC is the focal point of all your everyday cybersecurity operations. It holds the power to swiftly repel potential threats before they have a chance to cause significant harm. And if you're wondering whether or not your company actually needs a SOC, the likelihood is that it does. Continue reading to find out why and how.
What Is Zero Click Attack And How To Prevent It
A zero-click attack! It sounds dangerous, right? As the name suggests, a zero-click attack can compromise a device without the target user's involvement. These attacks do not utilise any social engineering scheme; instead, they take advantage of existing vulnerabilities. They are especially dangerous because they are hard to identify and stop. So, are you and your gadgets in danger from "zero-click attacks"? Let's find out in this blog.
Outsource Penetration Testing
Pen testing, another name for penetration testing, is an essential part of a thorough cybersecurity plan. It simulates an attack by a malicious threat actor to assess a system or network's security. This blog explains why pen testing is still important in 2024 when we have a plethora of other security options. Come along to understand the penetration testing process and the benefits associated with outsourcing.
Next-generation firewalls
Recent security breaches have escalated the need for next-generation firewalls (NGFW) and the additional protection they provide against some of the largest and most ostensibly secure network systems. While traditional firewalls meet businesses' fundamental security requirements, NGFWs' capabilities are enhanced and expanded to accommodate larger enterprises with new and improved features. They provide a plethora of features, skills, and instruments that safeguard your network from contemporary cyber threats and shut off all potential points of entry. This blog will help you understand and find the right NGFW for your business based on the configuration of your network and the resources and tools you have for security.
