6 Best Insider Threat Detection Tools. (Blog Post)
Sometimes the most dangerous security threats come from inside the firewall. A small minority of employees and other trusted individuals will compromise their organisations, whether by accident or design. Motivations for insider threats include:

• Political or ideological reasons.
• Profit and financial gain
• Revenge after an incident or lack of recognition
• Sabotaging other individuals within a workspace
• Attempting to advance their careers
• Negligence (for example, clicking on a phishing email).

Today, insider threats are common and can be devastating. Many organisations notice an insider threat has occurred long after the fact, such as in the event of intellectual property theft or when sensitive information is leaked online.

Unifying the SOC and the NOC for Stronger Cyber Resilience. (Blog Post)
Traditionally, Security Operations Centres (SOCs) and Network Operations Centres (NOCs) have operated as distinct entities, each with a specialised focus. SOCs are focused on protecting the organisation from cybersecurity threats, while NOCs are responsible for ensuring the continuous availability and performance of the organisation’s IT infrastructure.

Both the NOC and SOC exist to support the business. Their shared mission is to minimise disruptions and ensure that the organisation can continue its operations effectively and securely. Downtime, whether due to a network outage or a cyberattack, directly impacts productivity, revenue, and reputation. Without strong collaboration and unified tools, these intertwined issues can lead to delayed responses, increased damage, and a fundamentally incomplete understanding of the risk landscape.
