Identity and Access Management, or IAM, is a set of tools and processes that help organisations control who can access their systems and data. It ensures that only authorised people can log in, view, or change information. IAM systems help keep sensitive data secure by making sure the right people have the right access at…

Security as a Service
Security as a Service, often called SECaaS, is when businesses use security services that are provided over the internet rather than setting up and managing their own security systems. This means companies can protect their data, networks, and devices using tools managed by experts outside their organisation. Services can include things like firewalls, antivirus protection,…
Security Event Correlation
Security event correlation is the process of analysing and connecting multiple security alerts or events from different sources to identify potential threats or attacks. It helps security teams filter out harmless activity and focus on incidents that may indicate a real security problem. By linking related events, organisations can detect patterns that would be missed…
Incident Response Playbooks
Incident response playbooks are step-by-step guides that organisations use to handle security incidents, such as cyber attacks or data breaches. They outline the actions to take, who is responsible, and how to communicate during and after an incident. Playbooks help teams respond quickly and consistently, reducing the impact of threats and speeding up recovery.
Zero Trust Policy Enforcement
Zero Trust Policy Enforcement is a security approach where access to resources is only granted after verifying every request, regardless of where it comes from. It assumes that no user or device is automatically trusted, even if they are inside the network. Every user, device, and application must prove their identity and meet security requirements…
Key Revocation Mechanisms
Key revocation mechanisms are processes used to invalidate digital security keys before their scheduled expiry. These mechanisms ensure that compromised or outdated keys can no longer be used to access protected systems or information. Revocation is important for maintaining security when a key is lost, stolen, or no longer trusted.
Technology Risk Assessment
Technology risk assessment is the process of identifying, analysing, and evaluating potential risks that could affect the performance, security, or reliability of technology systems. It involves looking at possible threats, such as cyber attacks, software failures, or data loss, and understanding how likely they are to happen and how much harm they could cause. By…
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…
Automated Threat Correlation
Automated threat correlation is the process of using computer systems to analyse and connect different security alerts or events to identify larger attacks or patterns. Instead of relying on people to manually sort through thousands of alerts, software can quickly spot links between incidents that might otherwise go unnoticed. This helps organisations respond faster and…
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…
