The psychology of building a resilient cybersecurity team
Cyber resilience has been a high-profile issue across industries, especially since the pandemic. As organizations were forced to adopt hybrid working, they had to reconsider infrastructural configuration. Facilitating remote working meant that businesses needed to consider a plethora of new endpoint devices connecting to the enterprise network. This increasing digital landscape is creating a wide range of complexities for businesses around network management and device visibility.
The ever-evolving IT estate is only a part of the cyber-security team’s challenges.

The security team's preparedness, ability to work under pressure, and people skills will determine how resilient an organization is, and how well it can detect, defend, and respond to a new or emerging attack. It is therefore vital to give teams the capabilities they need adapt to the ever-changing threat landscape. security teams.

The torrent of problematic updates for Windows shows no signs of drying up.

One of my favorite features on the Apple iPhone 14 Pro is the new Dynamic Island that replaces the old notch at the top of the screen. This, if you don’t know, is a dark island that expands and contracts (and even bubbles off) to show important alerts, notifications, and activities.
It’s a cool addition which Apple says, 'blurs the line between hardware and software'. And you can now add this feature to Windows. Here’s how.

Many industries rely on the accumulated knowledge and experience of both middle and upper management. However, this can lead to jobs being done in a certain way simply because, 'they always have been', which in turn can lead to repeated mistakes.

Embracing the latest technological developments in the tax industry
Amidst enormous digital changes in the tax industry, the upcoming 2026 deadline for Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Corporation Tax (CT) has the potential to give tax departments a headache -- with no magic pill to cure it. The required changes to VAT and CT data and processes has created a growing desire for dedicated technology to build more efficient and cost-effective operations.
As research from Deloitte indicates that 93 percent of tax functions will be offered the same or a reduced budget over the next three years, senior tax executives are challenged to do more with less.

Containers: The ultimate Trojan horse
Containers are meant to be immutable.Once the image is made, it is what it is, and all container instances spawned from it will be identical. The container is defined as code, so its contents, intents and dependencies are explicit. Because of this, if used carefully, containers can help reduce supply chain risks.
However, these benefits have not gone unnoticed by attackers. A number of threat actors have started to leverage containers to deploy malicious payloads and even scale up their own operations. For the Sysdig 2022 Cloud-Native Threat Report, the Sysdig Threat Research Team (Sysdig TRT) investigated what is really lurking in publicly available containers.
