Wrap up the week by securing your organisation with these essential steps🔒 🛜Check for any unusual or unauthorised access attempts across your systems and networks. 🔄Ensure all systems and applications are up to date with the latest security patches. ✅Perform backups of all essential data and verify their integrity for quick recovery if needed. 💻Ensure all endpoints (laptops, mobile devices, etc.) are secure and show no signs of compromise. 📧Review email filters and logs for any suspicious phishing attempts or malicious emails. #cybersecurityawareness

Is your cloud data truly safe?⛈️ Cloud security is crucial because it protects the data, applications and infrastructure hosted in the cloud from cyber threats. With more businesses and individuals relying on cloud services for storage, collaboration and operations, securing these environments is essential to avoid data breaches, loss of sensitive information and costly downtime. Without strong cloud security measures, organisations are vulnerable to attacks like data theft, unauthorised access and ransomware. Cloud security ensures compliance with regulatory standards and protects customer trust. Since cloud services are accessible from anywhere, having robust security protocols in place helps safeguard against evolving cyber threats and ensures the privacy and integrity of critical business and personal data. #cybersecurityawareness #onlinesafety

🔊Nanorisk News: Hardcoded Creds In Popular Apps Put Millions Of Android And iOS Users At Risk Hardcoded credentials, commonly found in source code, involve embedding plain text passwords and other sensitive information directly within applications. If these hardcoded credentials are exposed, they can grant unauthorised access to multiple systems and devices that use the same default passwords, creating widespread vulnerabilities and increasing the risk of cyberattacks. Cybersecurity researchers at Symantec recently discovered that hardcoded credentials in popular apps put millions of Android and iOS users at risk.

DNSRecon is a popular command-line tool used for performing DNS reconnaissance, enumeration and information gathering👀 It can be used to gather valuable information about a target domain, such as its subdomains, IP addresses, DNS records, and more. Why is this a good cybersecurity tool? 1. It gathers key data like subdomains, IPs, and DNS records, providing a clear view of a domain’s infrastructure.     2. DNSRecon maps a domain’s DNS footprint, revealing subdomains and potential vulnerabilities. 3. It can identify issues like misconfigured zone transfers, which expose sensitive data. 4. Used in reconnaissance, it helps gather valuable data without alerting the target. 5. As a command-line tool, DNSRecon automates and speeds up DNS querying. 6. Compatible with multiple operating systems, it’s versatile and widely usable. #cybersecuritytool #DNS #cybersecurityawareness

These cybersecurity tools are essential for protecting organisations from modern threats🔒  Firewalls provide the first line of defence by controlling network traffic, while Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) monitor for suspicious activity, detecting potential breaches early. Encryption software safeguards sensitive data, ensuring it's unreadable if intercepted and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) offers advanced protection for devices, detecting and responding to threats targeting endpoints. Together, these tools form a comprehensive defence strategy, helping to prevent, detect and respond to cyber threats effectively💪 #businesssecurity #protectyourorganisation #cybersecurityawareness

🔊Nanorisk News: WordPress Plugin Flaw Exposes 1,000,000 WordPress Sites to Remote Code Attacks A security vulnerability in the WPML (WordPress Multilingual) plugin has exposed over a million WordPress sites to potential remote code execution (RCE) attacks.  This flaw, tracked as CVE-2024-6386, allows authenticated users with contributor-level privileges or higher to run arbitrary code on the server, potentially leading to a full site compromise.
