Our founders are veteran cyber experts with a wealth of knowledge and a passion for shaking up the status quo. In their experience, they haven’t seen the kind of change cyber needs... So, after the release of LinkedIn’s latest Economic Graph Research Institute report on the lack of diversity in cybersecurity talent, we asked CEO and Co-Founder, Dr Andrea Cullen (She/ Her) why she thinks there aren’t more women in cyber. Find out from Andrea her own experience, what needs to change and how – and, if you’re inspired to make your own impact in cyber, head over to our website to find out more about our course: https://capslock.ac/ #diversityandinclusion #womenincyber #diversity #womenintech #cybersecurity

We love to see our learners engaging with what they’ve learnt online and Thomas Emery has published a great piece on the risks that small businesses face from banking security flaws. As a former small business owner, Thomas takes us through how eerily simple it was to close his business account with non-confidential information. Thomas highlights how fraudsters can easily shut down small business accounts using information in the public domain and siphon the funds. You can read the full article below and if you’re feeling inspired to see if your industry knowledge could bring you into a career in cyber, head over to our website: https://capslock.ac #smallbusinesses #learnerinsights #banking #cybersecurity #fraud

I have been working very hard over the last couple of weeks in preparing this article, it came out of a conversation with James Bore where I expressed my concern at a serious lack of security when it comes to business bank account closure. This is the issue: Some banks, such as Lloyds Banking Group and HSBC, use outdated and insecure processes for business account closure that do not require proper user authentication. Instead of using MFA, they only require a signature, while all other information used in the process is publicly or easily accessible, especially for smaller businesses and sole traders. This approach exposes customers to significant fraud risks. Banks need to be held to higher standards. To protect their customers and the credibility of the institution. Thank you, Oliver Johnstone and Declan Harris, for reviewing this. ❌REPOST FOR VISIBILITY❌ #Lloyds #HSBC #Banking

We’re thrilled to have been featured in TechRadar Pro on a subject we’re passionate about – the importance of impact skills in cyber. Our Co-founder, Dr Andrea Cullen (She/ Her) takes us through why neglecting “soft” - or “impact” skills as we prefer to call them - can damage the cyber industry. A great cyber employee doesn’t just have technical skills. They’re problem solvers, communicators, project managers and much more. Head over to TechRadar Pro to find out why cyber hiring managers need to prioritise candidates with diverse skill sets. #cybersecurity #techradarpro #impactskills #cyberskills #careerincyber
