Cyber Threat Intelligence Feeds

Cyber Threat Intelligence Feeds are streams of information about current and emerging cyber threats, such as malware, phishing sites, or suspicious IP addresses. These feeds are updated regularly and are used by organisations to stay aware of potential risks to their systems. The information can come from a variety of sources, including security vendors, government…

Real-Time Threat Monitoring

Real-Time Threat Monitoring is the process of continuously watching computer systems, networks, or applications for signs of possible security threats or malicious activity as they happen. It uses automated tools to detect and alert security teams about suspicious behaviour or unauthorised access attempts without delay. This helps organisations respond quickly to security incidents and minimise…

Behavioral Threat Analytics

Behavioural threat analytics is a method used to detect and assess potential security threats by analysing patterns in user or system behaviour. It involves monitoring actions and comparing them to typical behaviour to spot unusual activities that could indicate a risk, such as fraud or cyberattacks. This approach helps organisations identify threats early, often before…

Zero Trust Network Segmentation

Zero Trust Network Segmentation is a security approach that divides a computer network into smaller zones, requiring strict verification for any access between them. Instead of trusting devices or users by default just because they are inside the network, each request is checked and must be explicitly allowed. This reduces the risk of attackers moving…

Firewall Rule Optimization

Firewall rule optimisation is the process of reviewing and improving the set of rules that control network traffic through a firewall. The aim is to make these rules more efficient, organised, and effective at protecting a network. This can involve removing duplicate or unused rules, reordering rules for better performance, and ensuring that only necessary…

Secure DNS Resolution

Secure DNS Resolution refers to the process of safely translating website names into their corresponding IP addresses, ensuring that the information cannot be tampered with or intercepted by attackers. Traditional DNS lookups are vulnerable to eavesdropping and manipulation, which can lead users to malicious websites without their knowledge. Secure DNS methods use encryption and verification…

Network Flow Monitoring

Network flow monitoring is the process of collecting and analysing information about data traffic as it moves through a computer network. It tracks details such as which devices are communicating, how much data is being transferred, and which protocols are being used. This monitoring helps organisations understand how their networks are being used, identify unusual…

BGP Security Mechanisms

BGP Security Mechanisms are methods and tools used to protect the Border Gateway Protocol, which helps route internet traffic between different networks. These mechanisms aim to prevent attacks or mistakes that could reroute, block, or intercept data. Common techniques include filtering, authentication, monitoring, and the use of cryptographic tools to ensure only trusted updates are…
