Endpoint threat isolation is a cybersecurity technique used to contain and restrict potentially compromised devices, such as computers or mobile phones, from interacting with other parts of a network. When a threat is detected on an endpoint, isolation tools limit its ability to communicate, stopping the spread of malware or data breaches. This method helps…

Deceptive Security Traps
Deceptive security traps are security measures designed to mislead attackers and detect unauthorised activity. These traps often mimic real systems, files, or data to attract attackers and study their behaviour. By interacting with these traps, attackers reveal their methods and intentions, allowing defenders to respond more effectively.
Incident Response Automation
Incident response automation refers to using software tools and scripts to automatically detect, investigate, and respond to security incidents without needing constant human intervention. It helps organisations react quickly to threats, reduce errors, and free up security teams for more complex tasks. Automated incident response can include actions like blocking malicious traffic, isolating affected devices,…
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…
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…
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…
