Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

For years, enterprise security strategies have evolved around visible and measurable threats: network intrusions, endpoint compromise, identity misuse, and cloud misconfigurations. These domains are well understood, heavily monitored, and continuously audited. Yet one of the most critical security risk surfaces in modern enterprises remains largely under-governed: documents and unstructured data.

Security awareness isn't just about policies and procedures anymore. Modern security teams know that engaging visual content dramatically improves message retention and behaviour change among employees. The challenge has always been production. Creating professional training videos and awareness content traditionally required budgets and expertise most security departments don't have. Static presentations and wall-of-text emails get ignored, but quality alternatives seemed out of reach.

The role of the tier 1 SOC analyst has always been critical. It's the function responsible for holding the line day-to-day and responding when incidents happen. It's also the training ground for analysts, training them in a wide range of basics to prepare them to advance to tier 2. It's a role that has never been static but with the pace of change noticeably faster than ever before, the role of the tier 1 SOC analyst is evolving once again.

Halo Security, a leading provider of external attack surface management and penetration testing services, today announced it has successfully achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance following an extensive multi-month audit by Insight Assurance. This certification validates that Halo Security's security controls are not only properly designed but also operate effectively and consistently over time.
