As we wrap up the first week of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, it's been an incredible kickoff to a month dedicated to enhancing our collective security. This year's theme, "Secure Our World," highlights the critical steps each of us can take to strengthen our online safety: using strong passwords, enabling multi-factor authentication, recognizing phishing, and keeping software updated. These actions are simple, but they make a world of difference in keeping our digital lives secure. This week, CISA hosted engaging events, including the Cybersecurity Awareness Month Kickoff on October 2nd, which brought together leaders across government and industry to discuss the evolving cyber landscape and how we can all contribute to protecting our systems. The event set the tone for the month, emphasizing the importance of collaboration in cybersecurity efforts. What’s truly inspiring is how the cybersecurity community continues to unite in building resilience. Whether you're a CISO, a small business owner, or an individual looking to better protect your personal information, this month reminds us that cybersecurity is everyone’s responsibility. Together, we can secure our world—one action at a time. Looking forward to seeing more of the great work happening across industries this month. Let’s stay vigilant and keep pushing forward! #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #SecureOurWorld #CISAKickoff #StaySafeOnline

David Hitchen from Semperis is joining us next week for an insightful discussion on the evolving landscape of insider threats. Our cybersecurity practices often focus on external dangers, yet insider threats have risen by 44% in the past two years. Whether from negligence or malice, insider incidents cost an average of £381k per event, posing a substantial business risk. Can your organisation pinpoint the vulnerabilities that fuel insider abuse? Register and find out more below👇 https://lnkd.in/e9TtqQUX #InsiderThreats #CybersecurityDiscussion

Business Email Compromise (BEC) is likely the most damaging form of phishing attack. Today, I attended an insightful webinar by HHS's cyber security center, delving deep into this subject. The session catered to both technical and non-technical individuals, especially beneficial for business executives. It provided detailed insights into the tactics employed in each attack type and effective prevention strategies. Taking a few moments to review and share this resource could be invaluable.

In an era where digital threats constantly evolve, safeguarding your online presence is more important than ever. Layered defense is the best defense, and today, we will highlight the need for a comprehensive defense strategy. Join us for an eye-opening live demonstration where we'll simulate a real-time MFA token-capturing attack. Witness firsthand how traditional MFA methods can be compromised and understand the critical need for stronger defenses. But it's not just about understanding the threats – it's about arming yourself against them. In this segment, we will highlight key measures and best practices to protect your digital identity. Learn how our phishing-resistant MFA adds an extra layer of security and stands resilient against sophisticated cyber-attacks. If you are not able to attend but are interested in viewing the webinar, feel free to sign up, and a recording of the webinar will be sent to you at a later date.

Last week we shared with you that 60% of SMEs experiences a breach due to a vulnerability they were aware of, but didn't take action to fix. Hackers know that small to medium-sized businesses are much easier targets for cyber attacks. Being proactive in identifying your weaknesses can help protect your critical business systems and data.

I'm pleased to share my latest article, published by Harvard Business Review last week. We just cannot protect our organizations (and our families) enough from cyber threats. Why? The bad guys are creative and relentless so just when we think we have all the doors and windows closed, they find a crack and sneak in. Instead we need a resilience mindset.
