Pioneering Threat Intelligence with AI-Driven Next-Generation Firewalls

Firewalls have been a cornerstone of network security for decades, acting as digital sentinels to safeguard sensitive data and organizational assets. These protective barriers have continuously evolved, adapting to the growing complexity of cyber threats. However, as cyberattacks become more sophisticated, traditional firewalls are increasingly unable to provide the level of defense required to protect modern networks.

Modern Business and the Importance of Secure Communication

In this fast-paced digital age, businesses of all sizes rely heavily on robust communication systems to maintain efficiency, streamline operations, and foster collaboration.

Technology has not only brought about a revolution in how teams interact with one another, but it has also brought about challenges, such as the need to comply with regulations and ensure data security.

AT&T and Verizon China Hack: End-to-End Encryption is Critical But Not Enough

The recent revelations of China’s hack of western telecommunications providers across multiple countries are a red flag for corporate and government leaders who care about their sensitive data. The exfiltration of massive amounts of Internet data from western mobile and fixed line networks tells us that end-to-end encryption of internal data is table stakes, and that data protection requires a zero-trust, zero-knowledge, and post-quantum-friendly approach.

What is Post Quantum Cryptography & Why It's Crucial for the Future

As our societies become integrated with technology, data security has been deemed to be of high importance. That is why, along with technological advances, new techniques to hack into networks and gain unauthorized access to personal data are being invented. Notably, the fastest upcoming threat that may continue chipping away at our cryptographic systems is quantum computing. That is where post-quantum cryptography, better known as PQC, comes in as a solution.

Scotland's Bold Step: A Secure Future for Government Communication

The Scottish Government’s decision to ban WhatsApp and other consumer-grade messaging apps for official business marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of secure and accountable workplace communication. This move, announced by Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes, reflects the urgent need for transparency, data sovereignty, and secure communication channels in modern governance. At Wire, we couldn’t agree more with this direction.

Is Slack secure? Exploring the major concerns and the best alternative

‍ With over 10 million daily active users, Slack's popularity also makes it a prime target for cybercriminals. This increases the risk of data breaches, raising a vital question for enterprises seeking safe collaboration: Is Slack secure? As per Mimecast, 1 in 166 messages sent on Slack contains confidential information, creating opportunities for unauthorized access, phishing, or data leaks. In July 2024, a noteworthy incident also took place, which questioned its integrity.

Automated Patch Management Process: Streamline Security and Compliance

Imagine this: you’re responsible for keeping your organization’s systems and software up to date, secure, and running smoothly. It’s no small task. The process of keeping track of security updates, managing patches for hardware and software, and ensuring patch compliance can feel like an endless cycle of frustration.

Your WhatsApp Phone Number is a Serious Security Liability

WhatsApp, the ubiquitous communication tool used for everything from family check-ins, party planning, unsanctioned work communications , and even the occasional cat meme. The app makes staying in touch incredibly easy. So easy in fact that WhatsApp is often used, whether purposefully or not, as a tool for corporate messaging and calling. For any business that has sensitive data to protect or keep private, there are many reasons why using WhatsApp for enterprise communication is a terrible idea.

Scotland's brave new world of end-to-end encrypted workplace messaging

By now you’d assume most government organisations are aware of the risks associated with consumer messaging apps like WhatsApp, Signal and Telegram being used in the workplace. Consumer apps, convenient for personal use, are completely unsuited for official communications. They lack the necessary security, auditability and management controls that public sector organisations require.

Infrastructure Security in Cloud Computing

Did you know cybercrime could cost the world $10.5 trillion by 2025? As more businesses adopt cloud solutions and rely on public cloud and private cloud computing environments, safeguarding cloud data is critical. Consequently, understanding infrastructure security in cloud computing and the role of Independent Software Providers is vital for protecting your assets.
