There is a version of this conversation happening in Irish MSPs every week. A client’s IT lead, or sometimes their CFO, forwards a questionnaire from an insurer, a supply chain partner, or a prospective customer. Somewhere in the document, usually buried in the governance section, a question asks: how do you assess human cyber risk […]
Ask most IT managers whether their organisation is secure and you will get a confident answer. Ask them to prove it, device by device, user by user, policy by policy, and the picture becomes more complicated. Over the past decade, organisations have accumulated a collection of tools that each address one part of the security […]
New research from LevelBlue reveals a troubling disconnect in retail cybersecurity. While 49% of retail executives claim they’re highly competent at defending against cyber adversaries, only 25% say they’re actually ready for AI-powered threats and just 33% feel prepared for deepfake attacks. This confidence gap is dangerous. Organisations that believe they’re adequately protected may delay essential security investments or overlook emerging threats until it’s too late. […]
It can be tempting to rely solely on security infrastructure such as firewalls, endpoint protection solutions, and other core cybersecurity technologies for protection. However, this approach carries significant risk. Regulators across Europe now expect organisations not only to prevent breaches but also to respond swiftly, contain damage, and promptly report incidents. As a result, the […]
Cybercriminals don’t always need sophisticated custom malware to infiltrate your clients’ networks. Increasingly, they are using legitimate system administration tools that are already present on every Windows, Linux, and macOS machine. These “Living Off the Land” (LOTL) attacks are notoriously hard to detect because attackers blend in with regular system activity by using trusted, digitally […]
Every week, there’s a new headline about a cyber-attack. Often, the blame lands squarely on one product or vendor: a firewall didn’t stop the breach, or a vulnerability (CVE) was discovered in a popular tool. But this “blame game” misses the real issue. Cyber threats aren’t caused by one failing product. They’re the result of […]
Many organisations are grappling with the reality that traditional document security struggles to keep up with evolving cyber threats. While passwords and basic access controls once offered adequate protection, today’s advanced attack methods, coupled with an increasing number of data breaches, show that traditional methods of document security are no longer enough. Particularly in sectors […]
Irish IT resellers and MSPs face mounting pressure to meet surging demand for cybersecurity solutions. From defending against advanced supply chain attacks to complying with NIS 2 and other EU regulations, the challenges are intensifying. Traditional security solutions often fall short, unable to provide robust protection while maintaining the agility modern deployments require. Enter cyberelements: […]
