No matter the size of your business, there are assets and data you have on your premises that you need to keep secure from people outside of your organisation. Whether it’s hard copies of personnel data, server rooms, or safety-critical infrastructure, that information, or how to gain access to that information will likely have some value to bad actors willing to use or exploit it.
At Pentest People, we're committed to providing a seamless, efficient, and effective platform for managing your penetration test results. We continually strive to improve upon our offerings, and in this vein, we're excited to announce some significant changes to how reports on SecurePortal are presented and how data can be exported.
We are thrilled to announce the introduction of our new vulnerabilities page on assessments. This innovative update allows you to view the overall status and remediation progress of all your assets for a single assessment in one comprehensive view. We've listened to your feedback, and we believe these enhancements will bring a more streamlined and efficient approach to your vulnerability management.
In our continuous endeavour to innovate and improve, we are thrilled to introduce our new workflow for assessments. Designed with a focus on efficiency and user-friendliness, this newly revised process is set to significantly enhance your experience during a pentest.
Identity theft is the unauthorised use of someone else's personal information for financial gain, often leaving victims with significant financial and emotional consequences. In the UK, identity theft is a prevalent issue, with an estimated 85,000 cases reported in 2019 alone. The impact of identity theft can be devastating, leading to financial loss, damaged credit scores, and emotional distress for the victims.
Recovering from a Ransomware attack requires a systematic approach to minimise damage and restore normal operations efficiently. The following steps are crucial in the recovery process.
Ransomware works by exploiting vulnerabilities in a computer system's security. Criminals typically use email phishing or other deceptive tactics to install malicious software on the victim's computer. Once the ransomware has infiltrated the system, it will begin to lock down files and encrypt them using advanced cryptography techniques, making them inaccessible. The cybercriminal will then demand payment for a decryption key that will allow the victim to regain access to their files.
