Alerting and Monitoring

Introduction Effective alerting and monitoring turn raw telemetry into timely, actionable insights that reduce risk and accelerate incident response. A well-designed capability continuously observes critical assets, detects anomalies and known threats, prioritizes alerts by impact, and enables swift triage, investigation, and remediation. This article presents practical steps to build, operate, and mature a monitoring program

Malicious Activity

Malicious activity refers to intentional actions that compromise the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of systems and data. Examples include unauthorized access, malware execution, data exfiltration, fraud, privilege abuse, and service disruption. Managing this risk requires a combination of preventive controls, continuous monitoring, and a disciplined incident response capability. Threat Landscape and Tactics Adversaries employ a

Cryptographic Solutions

Cryptographic solutions are foundational for protecting confidentiality, integrity, authenticity, and non-repudiation across enterprise systems. Effective programs combine sound engineering, clear governance, robust key management, and continuous monitoring so encryption reduces risk without impeding business outcomes. Foundations of Cryptography in the Enterprise Enterprise cryptography typically uses symmetric encryption for performance, asymmetric algorithms and digital signatures for

Penetration Testing (Pen Testing)

Penetration testing is a controlled, authorized simulation of real-world cyberattacks designed to identify exploitable weaknesses in systems, applications, and networks. Unlike passive assessments, penetration testing actively attempts to exploit vulnerabilities to determine the potential impact of a successful attack. As threat actors become more sophisticated and regulatory expectations increase, penetration testing has become an essential

How to Implement Phishing Attack Awareness Training

Phishing remains one of the most effective initial attack vectors used by threat actors. Even organizations with strong technical controls are vulnerable if employees cannot recognize and respond appropriately to deceptive emails, messages, or links. Phishing awareness training equips staff with practical skills to identify suspicious activity and take safe, consistent actions. When implemented correctly,

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) Explained

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a core mechanism for protecting systems, applications, and data by restricting access based on a user’s role within an organization. Instead of assigning permissions directly to individuals, RBAC assigns permissions to defined roles and then maps users to those roles. This model enforces the principles of least privilege and need-to-know,

Information Classification

Information classification is fundamental to effective cybersecurity. It ensures that security controls are applied proportionately to the sensitivity and criticality of data, rather than relying on generic or overly restrictive protections. Within an ISMS, classification connects business impact to technical and procedural safeguards, enabling organizations to protect what matters most without unnecessary complexity or cost.

IT Supplier Management (Third-Party Risk)

Third parties are an extension of the organization’s operating environment. Cloud providers, SaaS vendors, managed service providers, contractors, and consultants routinely process sensitive data or administer critical systems. Without disciplined supplier management, organizations inherit risks they neither understand nor control. Effective IT supplier management ensures that third-party risks are identified, assessed, treated, and monitored throughout

Asset Inventory

An asset inventory is the backbone of an ISMS. Without a reliable understanding of what assets exist, who owns them, and how they are used, security controls cannot be consistently applied, monitored, or audited. Incomplete or outdated inventories directly lead to blind spots in vulnerability management, incident response delays, ineffective business continuity planning, and weak
