How AI is Enhancing Cybersecurity and Threat Detection

by

Cyber threats are becoming more advanced every year. Hackers are using smarter tactics to steal data, disrupt systems, and cause financial damage.

Many businesses rely on traditional cybersecurity tools, but these methods often fail to detect new and complex threats. Attackers are always changing their approach, making it hard for security teams to keep up.

This is where AI is making a big difference. Artificial intelligence is changing cybersecurity by improving the speed and accuracy of threat detection. AI-powered systems can analyze large amounts of data in seconds, spot suspicious activity, and stop attacks before they cause damage.

Stop Hoping, Start Knowing: Why Penetration Testing is Essential for Peace of Mind

by

The digital world is evolving faster than ever. While businesses harness the power of technology, they also face an equally growing challenge: cyber threats.

Hackers constantly adapt their tactics, making traditional security measures insufficient to protect sensitive data and systems. This uncertainty leaves businesses hoping their defenses are strong enough – but hope is not a strategy.

Penetration testing offers a proactive approach to uncovering vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them. It’s not just about protecting data; it’s about gaining confidence in your security measures and achieving peace of mind.

SCADA systems: Security – industry’s second nature

by

 

Martyn Williams, Managing Director of industrial software provider Copa-Data UK, discusses the latest developments in industrial cyber security

When hackers hijacked the electrical systems of three major Ukrainian power distributors back in December 2015, over 230,000 people were left without power for several hours.

The uncertainty caused by the attack lasted much longer, especially since employees in both engineering and IT teams alike were initially unclear about how the hackers managed to infiltrate the system.

The scale and severity of this incident illustrated, yet again, how important it is for companies to secure their cyber systems at all levels. [Read more…] about SCADA systems: Security – industry’s second nature
