Threat intelligence is the process of gathering, analysing, and applying information about current and potential cyber threats to help organisations protect themselves proactively. It involves monitoring threat actors, attack patterns, vulnerabilities, and global cyber activity to provide actionable insights. Unlike traditional reactive approaches to cyber security, threat intelligence enables businesses to anticipate threats and tailor their defences accordingly.

In today's digital age, safeguarding your organisation's data is paramount. Achieving Cyber Essentials Plus compliance can significantly enhance your security posture.

At Pentest People, we understand that threats extend beyond your infrastructure to global events and industry-specific challenges that can impact your organisation. That's why we're excited to unveil our new Threat Intelligence Dashboard, a powerful tool that provides in-depth insights into global threats relevant to your industry and sector. Enhance your situational awareness and empower your team with actionable intelligence tailored to your specific needs.

Web Application Testing is a comprehensive process designed to evaluate various aspects of a web application, including functionality, performance, security, and usability. This critical step in the web development lifecycle helps identify potential issues before end-users engage with the application, ensuring a smoother user experience and reducing the risk of failures post-launch.

Safe social media usage is crucial in today’s interconnected world, primarily due to the growing risks associated with online interactions. One of the first steps to ensure safety is to utilise privacy settings effectively. Adjusting these settings allows you to control who sees your posts and personal information, significantly reducing the risk of your data falling into the wrong hands. Managing your digital footprint is equally important.

The CREST Cyber Security Incident Response (CSIR) accreditation is an esteemed certification designed to assure that an organisation has the necessary processes, skills, and capabilities to support clients in mitigating, responding to, and recovering from cyber incidents. CREST, a globally recognised accreditation body, sets the benchmark for high standards in cyber security, ensuring that accredited companies deliver excellence in every facet of cyber response services.

A secure website is not just an option but a necessity. With businesses increasingly relying on online platforms, the potential risks associated with inadequate website security have never been more important. Cyber threats are rampant, targeting not only businesses but also their customers, making understanding and implementing robust security measures essential for anyone with an online presence.

We are thrilled to introduce two exciting new features to SecurePortal: Live Vulnerabilities and Chat. With Live Vulnerabilities, you can now access real-time vulnerability information as consultants identify them, significantly reducing the risk window. This enhancement enables your IT teams to begin triaging vulnerabilities within minutes, rather than waiting for the full assessment to be published. You can mark vulnerabilities as resolved as soon as they are fixed, even during an ongoing engagement.

Over the past few months, our development team at SecurePortal has diligently worked on a major upgrade to our access control system. In this significant update, we have revolutionised how organisations can manage and restrict access within the portal. By empowering organisations with permissions to regulate and customise visibility for specific groups, we offer the flexibility to create new groups, duplicate existing ones for customisations, and seamlessly assign users to these tailored groups.
