My controversial take on cyber crime More than 70% of breaches can be traced back to organized crime groups. Cyber crime is a huge money maker for criminals, and it's only a matter of time before every organization is breached. The question is whether you have the tools and team on-hand, ready to stop them in their tracks. 10X CYBER provides cybersecurity solutions for small businesses at a fraction of the cost of hiring an in-house team.

Absolutely! If I can successfully transition from an Internal Audit role to a SOC analyst role in the span of a few months, what's to stop anyone else from doing something similar. My advice is to pursue what you're most intrigued by, and as long as it keeps sparking the curiosity that enables you to start tinkering and learning on your own, then NO ONE should stop you! Keep putting in the work and it will all pay off! . . . #machineintheshell #machineinit #technology #nerd #techie #techadept #techenthusiast #systemadministrator #blueteam #networksecurity #threatdetection #threathunt #cybersecurity #infosec #securityanalytics #elasticsearch #automation #raspberrypi #linux #bash #python #powershell #wireshark #ansible #DevOps #SecOps

⚠️ Cybersecurity Awareness ⚠️ As much as technology has enhanced administrative & operational roles, it has also introduced new risks. Savvy administrators in 2024 must be vigilant and knowledgeable about cybersecurity, protecting sensitive information from potential breaches and understanding the importance of secure communication channels. Those in front-line operational and administrative roles are often at the 'coal face' and the target of bad actors 👀 Often the operators of customer-facing channels, and with busy, fast-paced roles, cybercriminals consider them the perfect target for phishing scams or delivering malware that can cause a business financial, reputational or operational damage. Cyber-crime awareness amongst administrational and operational staff has never been so important. #administrationjobs #operationaljobs #hiring #recruitment #cyberawareness #cybercrime

I saw this article from KnowBe4 this morning about how they were almost infiltrated by a North Korean fake IT worker. They were hiring a Software Engineer, conducted several online interviews, background checks & references. But as soon as their ‘new hire’ received their Mac workstation, the security team noticed suspicious activity 😬 Luckily, their security team quickly contained the device. This highlights the very real risk of insider threats and the importance of conducting proper background checks, especially if your hiring process is done remotely. Fair play to KnowBe4 for being so open and honest about this, owning where they went wrong so that other businesses can learn from their mistakes. I guess this is what KnowBe4 is all about – cyber security awareness 🤷♀️ It’s worth giving the article a read: https://lnkd.in/dTbwWHJX #Hiring #CyberSecurity #RemoteWork #KnowBe4 #BusinessSecurity #WorkplaceSafety

Here’s a great story about an “almost got hacked” company, and how having the correct procedures, protocols and systems, a major disaster (for them and their clients) was averted. If you hire remote workers, make sure you really KNOW who they are BEFORE they get to your sensitive information. A really quick summary (though I highly recommend reading the story): A North Korean agent used a US stolen identity to apply for a software engineer position at KnowBe4. After being hired, the agent's Mac workstation immediately began loading malware, which was detected by KnowBe4's security systems. The agent used AI-enhanced photos and fabricated references to bypass background checks. https://lnkd.in/gindpRbr #cybersecurity #cyberrwsilience
