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…

Economic Attack Vectors
Economic attack vectors are strategies or methods used to exploit weaknesses in financial systems, markets, or digital economies for personal gain or to disrupt operations. These weaknesses may involve manipulating prices, taking advantage of incentives, or exploiting system rules to extract unearned benefits. Attackers can impact anything from cryptocurrency networks to online marketplaces, causing financial…
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…
AI for Threat Attribution
AI for Threat Attribution refers to the use of artificial intelligence to identify the source or origin of cyber threats, such as hacking attempts or malware attacks. By analysing large amounts of data from various digital sources, AI models can help security teams link suspicious activities to specific individuals, groups, or techniques. This process makes…
Cognitive Cybersecurity
Cognitive cybersecurity uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to help computers understand, learn from, and respond to cyber threats more like a human would. It analyses huge amounts of data, spots unusual behaviour, and adapts to new attack methods quickly. This approach aims to make cybersecurity systems more flexible and effective at defending against complex…
Packet Capture Analysis
Packet capture analysis is the process of collecting and examining data packets as they travel across a computer network. By capturing these packets, analysts can see the exact information being sent and received, including details about protocols, sources, destinations, and content. This helps identify network issues, security threats, or performance problems by providing a clear…
Race Condition Attacks
Race condition attacks occur when two or more processes or users try to access or change the same data at the same time, causing unexpected results. Attackers exploit these situations by timing their actions to interfere with normal operations, potentially gaining unauthorised access or privileges. These attacks often target systems where actions are not properly…
Integer Overflow Exploits
Integer overflow exploits are a type of software vulnerability where a computer program does not properly handle numbers that are too large or too small for the allocated storage space. When this happens, the value can wrap around to a much smaller or negative number, causing unexpected behaviour. Attackers can use this flaw to bypass…
Cyber Range Training
Cyber range training is a hands-on way for people to learn and practise cyber security skills in a controlled, virtual environment. It simulates real-world computer systems and networks, allowing users to respond to cyber attacks and security incidents without risking actual systems. This type of training helps individuals and teams prepare for and defend against…
Red Team Toolkits
Red Team Toolkits are collections of specialised software and hardware used by cybersecurity professionals to test and evaluate the security of computer systems. These kits contain tools that mimic the techniques and actions of real attackers, helping organisations find and fix weaknesses before they can be exploited. The tools in a red team toolkit can…
