I made posts about the essential 8 essentials course on here if you want further insights on what to expect! #cybersecurity #essential8 #CanberraTechnology #HackYourPotential

🔐 Cybersecurity Fact of the Day Did you know that organisations using cyber threat intelligence are 52 percent more effective at detecting threats and responding faster to incidents? (Ponemon Institute, 2023) Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) is the collection and analysis of data about current and emerging threats to inform security decisions. CTI provides context such as attacker tactics, techniques, procedures (TTPs), and indicators of compromise (IOCs). 📊 Key benefits of CTI include: Anticipating attacks before they occur Enhancing detection rules with real-world IOCs Supporting red and blue team exercises Helping leadership prioritise cyber investments 💡 CTI transforms raw data into actionable knowledge, enabling both technical teams and executives to strengthen defences against evolving adversaries. Have a great day, and stay secure! 🔐 #CyberSecurity #CTI #ThreatIntelligence #MITREATTACK #ThreatHunting #SOC #IncidentResponse #CyberResilience

A recent Microsoft Teams vulnerability highlighted how even widely used tools can be exploited. Without quick action, sensitive data could be at risk. This is exactly why hands-on training is essential. ENFOCOM Cyber’s courses teach you not just theory but real-world defensive skills, patching vulnerabilities, monitoring networks and responding to incidents before damage occurs. → Incident response in action; → Network defense exercises; → Learn proactive threat mitigation. Don’t wait for a breach to happen, build your skills now to protect your organization from the threats lurking in everyday tools. #CyberSecurityAwareness #ThreatMitigation #CyberSecurityTraining #InfoSec #MSSP #CyberRange #DigitalForensics #IncidentResponse #LawEnforcementTraining

October is Cyber Security Awareness Month, which is the perfect opportunity to take action by building on the basics and tackling the technical to help boost Australia’s cyber security posture. Follow along with ASD’s ACSC and learn more about crucial cyber security mitigations like event logging, legacy technology, supply chain and third-party risk, and quantum readiness.

✍ The definition of cybersecurity training is being rewritten. According to the latest Forrester Cybersecurity Skills and Training Platforms Landscape, modern cybersecurity training solutions are evolving to help organizations: 🪴 Home-grow their security talent 🏆 Continuously upskill and cross-train teams 💪 Demonstrate organizational resilience The modern cyber training platform doesn't just train; it tests technology and it validates processes. CISOs, check out the blog to see how cyber training is changing, how to engage cybersecurity skills and training platforms, and how to evaluate them for your teams: https://lnkd.in/ePPBc9NW #CyberRange #CyberSimulation #CybersecurityTraining #CyberResilience

How prepared is your organisation for a ransomware attack? In today’s evolving threat landscape, cyber attacks are no longer a question of if, but when. Building cyber resilience is essential to withstand and recover from such incidents. Here’s how to strengthen your organisation’s response capabilities: - Establish robust incident response plans that align people, processes, and technology - Develop agile yet structured procedures for managing cyber incidents - Raise awareness among key stakeholders about their roles during a cyber crisis - Regularly stress test your organisation to identify and close resilience gaps ➡️Running a cyber security simulation exercise is a powerful way to enhance your operational readiness.

CISA’s latest advisory delivers powerful lessons for organizations facing cyber threats. When attackers exploited an unpatched vulnerability, gaps in incident response plans and missed security alerts led to weeks of undetected activity. Key takeaways: • Patch critical vulnerabilities in public-facing systems fast. • Build and regularly test incident response plans, making sure they cover third-party collaboration. • Centralize and actively monitor logs for abnormal activity. • Review security alerts continuously and protect all endpoints. Proactive steps and teamwork can help organizations bounce back stronger from cyber incidents. #Cybersecurity #IncidentResponse #PatchManagement #SecurityLeadership #RiskMitigation #CISA #Resilience 🔗 https://zurl.co/DBmhf

Cybersecurity doesn’t just defend from the inside - it starts with knowing what’s visible from the outside. In our new microcredential “The Role of Reconnaissance in Assessing Cyber Risk," we cover how cybersecurity professionals use Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) and reconnaissance techniques to uncover vulnerabilities before attackers do. Discover how to think like an adversary - analysing exposure points, identifying patterns, and understanding where information leaks may exist. Learners will also explore tools and methods used across the industry to identify, assess, and report cyber risk effectively. Key takeaways are the following SFIA skills: * Vulnerability Assessment (VUAS) * Threat Intelligence (THIN) * Methods & Tools (METL) * Vulnerability Research (VURE) These internationally recognised professional capabilities ensure learners can competently assess external threats and contribute to proactive cyber defence.
