#CyberMonth2025: Building resilience through layered defence Cybersecurity for modern businesses is not about a single tool or policy. It is about building multiple layers of defence that work together to keep systems, data and people secure. It starts with the human layer, through training, awareness and clear policies that everyone can understand. Then the identity layer, using tools like single sign-on that protect people wherever they work. Finally, the endpoint layer, ensuring every laptop and device is encrypted and meets recognised security standards. Strong security is not just technology, it is a culture. When every layer is active and every person plays their part, you build resilience that protects the business from the inside out. In this video, Matthew Bensley, our Information Security Analyst, shares how layered defence creates real, lasting security. #Cybersecurity #TechLeadership #LayeredDefence #CyberSecurityAwarenessMonth

🔐 Cybersecurity Awareness Month Why Every Organization Needs an Incident Response Plan Cyber threats can strike without warning — but with a clear Incident Response Plan, businesses can act swiftly to contain damage, recover operations, and strengthen future defenses. At V5 TechSol, we believe preparedness is the foundation of resilience. A strong response plan enables: ✅ Rapid detection and reporting of suspicious activity ✅ Immediate containment and mitigation of threats ✅ Structured recovery and post-incident review Pro Tip: Don’t just create a plan — test it regularly with your team. The more prepared you are, the more secure your organization becomes. Let’s make cyber readiness a shared responsibility. #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #IncidentResponse #CyberResilience #V5TechSol #Preparedness #TeamSecurity #CyberSmart

🔒October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month🔒 Cyber threats are getting bolder, why are so many businesses playing defense like it’s still the 90’s? At Federated Service Solutions, we believe in doing more than checking compliance boxes. We build agile, end-to-end technology solutions that keep our clients one step ahead of the next threat. Here’s how: ✅Designing secure, enterprise-grade networks ✅Eliminating weak points with updated hardware & software ✅Providing 24/7 monitoring and support to keep systems protected This month, we challenge every organization to ditch the illusion of “good enough” security and get serious about protecting what matters: your data, your customers, and your reputation. Resilience isn’t optional, it’s your competitive edge. 💡 Our take? Don’t just guard the perimeter, reinvent it. #NationalCybersecurityAwarenessMonth #ITSolutions #NetworkSecurity

Misconfigured firewalls aren’t just a technical detail—they’re an open invitation for cyber threats. In a recent real-world breach, malware bypassed protections and exfiltrated sensitive business data, all because outbound (egress) traffic was “Allow All.” The lesson: true network security requires controlling both inbound and outbound flows, continually auditing firewall rules, and not ignoring temporary exceptions that linger for years. At Wiseman CyberSec, we show companies how to prevent hidden gaps from becoming costly crises—through governance, network segmentation, continuous monitoring, and staff training. If your firewall only guards the front gate, it’s time to rethink your strategy, upgrade your architecture, and safeguard every connection. Audit. Monitor. Review. Repeat. Secure your business before attackers secure their next target. #NetworkSecurity #FirewallConfig #EgressFiltering #CyberRisk #Phishing #SOC #IncidentResponse #SecurityAwareness #MalwarePrevention #CyberResilience #Governance #ITAudit #SecurityControls #CISSP #CISA #WisemanCybersec #DigitalSafety #SecureArchitecture #InfoSec #TechLeadership

Every organization needs a heartbeat in cybersecurity, that heartbeat is the Security Operations Center (SOC). As a SOC Analyst, I’ve seen how a well-functioning SOC keeps businesses alive and resilient. It’s where real-time monitoring, threat detection, and incident response all come together to stop cyberattacks before they cause real damage. Think of it this way — without a SOC, threats move silently. With it, you have eyes, ears, and instincts working 24/7 to protect your digital assets. A strong SOC means: ⚡️Continuous visibility ⚡ Rapid response ⚡ Proactive defense In cybersecurity, you can’t afford silence, your SOC must keep the pulse strong. How’s your organization’s heartbeat today? #CyberSecurity #SOC #ThreatDetection #IncidentResponse #CyberDefense #InfoSec #SOCAnalyst

🔒 5 Must-Do Actions for a Healthier Cybersecurity Program Security gaps are often driven not by technology alone, but by missed basics. From human error to legacy assets and under-utilised tools, here are five key steps organisations can take now to shrink risk and bolster resilience: Deploy MFA ubiquitously – every account matters. Measure patch and device status – unpatched systems are invitation letters. Identify high-risk users early – human behaviour remains the weakest link. Ensure your tools are actually in use – licensing doesn’t equal protection. Schedule regular cyber health checks – build a rhythm of assessment and improvement. By locking in these basics, security teams shift from firefighting to forward-looking defense—laying the foundation for richer, strategic capabilities down the line. #CyberSecurity #ProgramHealth #RiskManagement #BusinessResilience https://dy.si/dDLzus

🔐 Security Starts with Access Control 🔐 This #CyberSecurityAwarenessMonth, we're highlighting one of the most powerful yet often overlooked principles in cybersecurity: Least Privilege. The concept is simple: 👉 Users, systems, and applications should only have the access they need to do their job. Nothing more. Why does Least Privilege matter? • Minimizes the attack surface for bad actors • Prevents insider threats—both accidental and intentional • Supports compliance with standards like NIST SP 800-53 • Anchors Zero Trust architecture by ensuring trust is never assumed At TecFac, we enforce Least Privilege through: ✅ Role-based access controls ✅ Just-in-time permissions ✅ Continuous auditing and monitoring ✅ Strong MFA and endpoint verification Cybersecurity isn’t just about firewalls and encryption—it’s about who can do what, and when. Let’s build a culture where access is intentional, not inherited. #LeastPrivilege #ZeroTrust #AccessControl #TecFacSecurity #CyberResilience #CyberSecurityAwarenessMonth
