If you’ve heard of ransomware attacks in the news, you’ll know they can result in big losses for big businesses. But the fact is that organisations of any size can fall victim to an attack, and often the smaller your business is, the more severe the impact.

During my time delivering red team engagements over the last few years, I've had the luxury of working with organisations who’re just starting out with their red teaming approaches, all the way up to battling hardened and heavily monitored networks. In this experience, I’ve found that one of the key areas that makes or breaks a successful operation is the scoping, sizing and planning of an engagement. It can often be daunting to explore more threat-led and realistic testing approaches.

Malicious actors are always coming up with new and innovative ways to steal your money and information. This means it’s all the more important to be aware of these new attacks as they appear and know how to spot and respond to them. In this article I’ll be bringing attention to a new attack that has become increasingly common in recent months. That attack is called ‘Quishing’, and it is a specific new variant of the much broader attack known phishing.

It’s not surprising that adoption of Cyber Essentials certification is growing steadily year on year. It’s a valuable certification to have, not least of all for the many commercial opportunities it presents. But as a Cyber Essentials Assessor, one thing I see repeatedly is that poor network boundary implementation making reaching certification harder than it has to be – especially for smaller organisations. That’s what I’m going to be looking at in this blog.

Implementing ISO 27001, the international standard for information security management, is a complex process that requires expertise, experience and careful planning. This blog explores why using a consultant for ISO 27001 implementation is crucial to not just ensure certification, but also (and perhaps more importantly), to build an information security management system that is tailored to your business and its objectives. To make sure your certification is actually working for you.

US data transfers... are they allowed? Well. Yes. It depends....it’s complicated. Let’s get stuck in and I’ll explain all. In July this year, the EU Commission made an adequacy decision for the new EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). This can be seen as Safe Harbor 3.0. Essentially, in most scenarios, data transfers from the EU to the US are now permitted without the need for other mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).
