Are you prepared for the #NIS2 Directive? 🚨 The NIS2 Directive is a crucial step toward enhancing cybersecurity across the EU. Expanding beyond the original #NISDirective, this new framework now includes medium and large entities across various sectors, such as healthcare, transport, energy, banking, and public administration. This means more organizations and government institutions must adhere to rigorous cybersecurity standards. A recent survey by CDeX (Cyber Defence eXercise Platform) reveals alarming insights: 🛡️ Only 20% of organizations are fully compliant with the required cybersecurity standards. 🛡️ 60% are still working towards compliance. 🛡️ Shockingly, 15% reported they never conduct cybersecurity assessments! With NIS2 emphasizing risk management, incident reporting, and supply chain security, the stakes have never been higher—with the deadline for Member States to transpose the directive into applicable, national law being 17 October 2024, and heavy penalties for non-compliance. What steps can you take to ensure your organization meets these new requirements? 📖 Dive into the full blog post by #CDeX to explore survey findings and actionable steps to close the compliance gap before it’s too late: https://t.ly/yJT3J #cybersecurity #cyberreadiness #eudirectives #securitycompliance

⚠️ Recent attack on critical infrastructure⚠️What’s the risk? On October 4, 2024, Poznań’s Provincial Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management experienced a significant security incident. Cybercriminals 👨🏻💻👾 executed a malicious software attack, encrypting files on their servers and compromising the confidentiality of personal data, including sensitive information of beneficiaries, contractors, and employees. The potential fallout is serious: stolen information can be weaponized for identity theft, financial fraud, and even blackmail. In response to this incident, law enforcement and cybersecurity agencies, including CERT Polska, have been alerted and are actively investigating the situation. As Vector Synergy’s headquarters is located in Poznań, this incident hits particularly close to home 🏙️ With 95% of all cyberattacks targeting government organizations, critical infrastructure, and technology firms, it’s clear that no one is immune to the threats posed by hostile cyber operations. The repercussions of such incidents touch all of us, whether directly or indirectly. #CyberSecurity #DataProtection #IncidentResponse #CyberReadiness #DataLeak

Great job for organisers of International Cyber Expo and International Security Expo to create these 2 events in one, which allows: ➡️ gather industry leaders from various sectors ➡️ expanding needs of cybersecurity ➡️ leveraging the attention to security in a cyber domain For those who work in cyber, cybersecurity, or security, they will find a place to market themselves despite the target sector! Apart from meeting with current and future alliances, for me, as a Vector Synergy - working closely with defence, it was worth listening to insights of: - Victor Hoskins, Fairfax County Economic Development Authority about accessing US Security Assets - Paolo Palumbo , WithSecure exploring NATO’s New Finnish Front Line in regards to sophisticated cyber threats! Looking forward for more! #VectorSynergy #cybersecurity

Is your organisation still using outdated tools? Relying on old agents like MMA/OMS could leave your systems vulnerable and cost you more than you realise. Outdated tools don’t offer the granular control, security, or cost efficiency that modern operations demand. If your business is still relying on the old agents, now’s the time to plan your migration to the #AzureMonitorAgent (AMA). Alin Madalin Matei, our subject matter expert, shared why this move is crucial for safeguarding your infrastructure. Here’s what #AMA offers: 👉 Cost Savings: Optimise your budget with targeted, efficient data collection. 👉 Enhanced Security: Simplify management and troubleshooting while boosting protection. 👉 Unified Solution: One agent for all data collection needs—across Azure and non-Azure environments. #CyberSecurity #ITSecurity #CloudSecurity
