CSOC – Cyber Security Operations Centre

The Defence Signals Directorate is the national authority on the security of information across government. DSD provides a range of information security services to ensure that sensitive government electronic information systems are not susceptible to unauthorized access, compromise or disruption. The Cyber Security Operations Centre was established in DSD as an initiative of the Australian Government’s Defence White Paper to mitigate the cyber threat to Australia’s national security. The Centre meets two needs. It provides Defence with a cyber warfare capability and provides a resource designed to serve all government agencies. In the past decade, the growing importance of operations in cyber space has become increasingly apparent. Our national security is under threat from a range of cyber actors. Our adversaries are often well resourced, highly skilled and able to defeat commercially available security solutions.

File Upload Security: The Missing Category for a Comprehensive Security Posture

whitePaper | December 15, 2022

Applications are the backbone of modern business and must be protected. Yet, most organizations have an underserved attack vector — malicious files uploaded to their custom business applications. If internal, external, or third-party files contain malware, they pose a large risk as they traverse through an organization and are stored in local or cloud repositories. Public file sharing platforms are another area where malicious file uploads can cause widespread damage.

Embracing Security Operations in the Educational Sector

whitePaper | December 22, 2022

Nearly every part of the educational sector has fallen victim to a cyberattack, from elementary schools to universities. Securing education is no longer a “nice to have” but a “must do” and is a growing concern among the global educational community. Creating and maintaining effective information security and cybersecurity operations in education comes down to people, processes, and tools. It’s crucial for IT and security leaders across the entire spectrum of educational institutions to find the right balance between the three. While there are success stories of achieving that balance, there’s always more to do to identify, understand, and mitigate cybersecurity risks to these organizations. Establishing and improving existing cybersecurity operations must become a priority.

Secure by Design: Lexmark Print Devices

whitePaper | October 27, 2022

As organizations enhance the security of their infrastructure and move towards security methodologies and strategies, such as, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), defense in depth, assume breach, and zero trust to provide tighter access controls, the print infrastructure must also adapt. It must become a strategic initiative to secure the print infrastructure and consider both internal and external threats. Data has become a cornerstone for innovation and has become a company's most valuable asset. Some of the challenges that companies face are inadequate security practices and too much data to manage. It is important to remember that security is not a solo sport, and as a community, we are stronger together.
