1). THREAT INTEL:  CYBERATTACKS – Our Guest Contributor Andy Jenkinson | Group CEO Cybersec Innovation Partners reported – Cyberattacks predominantly exploit the weakest links in an organization’s security framework. Cyberattacks predominantly exploit the weakest links in an organization’s security framework, with servers and domains being primary entry points. Despite the glaring evidence, these critical areas remain inadequately secured, managed, and controlled.

Last Month Microsoft issued a MISMATCHED digital Certificate on over 900 linked domains to an IP address in Dublin which includes over a dozen MX servers. In addition, the servers are using deprecated protocols that were first exploited in 2012 and reached their end of life in 2021.

3). WHAT IS GDPR? – Unlocking GDPR: To assist our readers navigate the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation ) Minefield we have complied  –  GDPR for SMEs – A Comprehensive Guide to Data Protection Regulations.
