More and more businesses are moving their operations to the cloud. And it makes perfect sense. Cloud computing offers exceptional flexibility, scalability, and agility. Employees can work from anywhere at any time, and productivity can soar. But all those benefits bring risks too.
While cloud providers are responsible for safeguarding the infrastructure itself, they aren’t responsible for your data. To operate securely, you need to protect users from hidden threats, restrict the use of unapproved apps, prevent data loss, ensure all users are authorised, and maintain a secure data backup. This is where your organisation can benefit from cloud security services.
WEB SECURITY SERVICES IN AUSTRALIA
Up to 22 website visits per organisation per week are likely to be deemed risky or malicious. And as threats can hide in plain sight on legitimate websites or in pop-up ads, relying on your employees to know when not to click is never enough. To safeguard your business, you need a layered security approach. Our Australia-wide cloud-enabled web security services offer advanced capabilities such as a secure web gateway, anti-virus scanning and data loss prevention, so you are protected from threats and always remain compliant.
CLOUD ACCESS SECURITY IN AUSTRALIA
On average, businesses use almost 2,000 cloud applications. While some of these are approved, others are used under the radar without any security controls in place. Gaining visibility of such a huge number of applications is a mammoth task for your IT team. A Cloud Access Security Broker leverages the power of machine learning technology to provide real-time data, actionable insights, and intuitive controls. By seeing the whole picture, you can identify risky applications and prevent the use of unsanctioned apps.
DATA LOSS PREVENTION
As businesses use more cloud-based applications, the risk of data loss has evolved. Employees work from multiple locations and can access corporate files at any time, without always using approved services. It’s vital for businesses to re-evaluate data governance to protect data both inside and outside of the network perimeter. Data loss prevention (DLP) solutions help control data flow between the corporate network, the cloud, and all endpoints. With visibility through a single dashboard, you can find data loss blind spots in both sanctioned and unsanctioned cloud apps and keep your data safe.
CLOUD AUTHENTICATION AND IDENTITY
Almost two-thirds of companies still don’t use multi-factor authentication, but single passwords simply aren’t enough. While users can be educated, there is no way to guarantee the same passwords aren’t being used for multiple applications. By centralising cloud authentication and identity with single sign-on multi-factor authentication, you can ensure passwords are as strong as they can be while giving users quick access to their applications.
SSE & SASE
SSE (security service edge) or SASE (secure access service edge) is not a product that organisations can purchase. It requires taking a holistic view towards digitally transforming your cybersecurity and IT systems. Rather than rerouting web traffic to external firewalls for assessment, SASE focuses on bolstering your system’s security at the source. Not only does it help to reduce costs by combining vendors with parameter-securing technologies, but it also allows your system to inspect data and viewing policies based on identity, rather than IP addresses. Wherever your users, apps or devices are located, SASE allows your organisation to provide secure access no matter what.
SECURE OFFICE 365
If your business uses Office 365, you are not alone. Office 365 is used by over 1.5 million companies across the globe. However, Microsoft’s popularity also makes it a prime target, with many brand-spoofed phishing attacks occurring under the Microsoft name. While the service offers native security controls, you need to do more than protect inbound messages. By adopting a comprehensive approach, you can detect compromised accounts, ensure data is discoverable and meet compliance requirements.

Changes to the upcoming ISO 27001 standard are due to be released shortly. This article describes major changes to the components of ISO 27001’s Annex Controls by analysing what new modules now exist in the ISO 27002:2022 standard.
DOES THIS APPLY TO ME?
These modules will quickly become standard components of risk questionnaires, and will become non-negotiable baseline security requirements when your business handles data, or provides services.
The cyber threat landscape is continually evolving as cybercriminals look for new vulnerabilities in organisation’s systems and processes. As we increasingly access applications, data, and tools from remote locations, these risks compound further. To mitigate the threat of risk or loss to critical assets, it’s vital to have a full set of security technologies along with the ability to monitor and track user behaviour within the organisation’s network. The Security Service Edge (SSE), a term coined by Gartner and a new concept in the cybersecurity landscape, aims to help do just that. SSE uses a collection of integrated, cloud-centric security capabilities to facilitate secure remote access to corporate resources.
ISO 27002:2022 was released on 15th February replacing the 2013 version.
This blog discusses what revisions were made in ISO 27002:2022 to reflect the improvements in technology and updates in information security practices within a diverse range of industries, businesses, and governments. We will also explain how the updated structure has been simplified for ease of use.
What has changed in ISO 27002:2022
After a challenging year of well-publicised critical infrastructure attacks, massive supply chain breaches and financially motivated incidents, business leaders and individuals alike are only too aware of the risks of cybercrime. The 15th annual Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) takes a deep dive into the data, analysing tens of thousands of security incidents and data breaches that took place in 2021. The aim is to educate businesses about the common action types used against enterprises and to better prepare them to bolster their defences. In this article, we’ll summarise the key findings from the report with a focus on what has happened in the Asia Pacific region.
Despite billions invested into perimeter and endpoint security since the global pandemic began, phishing and business email compromise (BEC) scams remain as primary attack vectors into our businesses. With huge losses during 2021 as a direct result of these scams, global adoption of Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) has never been more important.
With Australian organisations encouraged to urgently adopt an enhanced cybersecurity posture, organisations should ensure they have mitigation strategies in place against cyber-attacks and are prepared to identify and respond to cybersecurity incidents. Whilst no mitigation strategy can offer full security against all cyber threats, it is recommended to implement eight essential mitigation strategies from the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC).
