In these current times marked by rapid digital transformation, mounting regulatory requirements, and increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, organisations are seeking professionals who can both understand and manage information systems beyond just technical execution. The Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) certification has become such a powerful asset not just for ...
Remote work has become the primary workplace environment for many organisations today, offering flexibility, broader talent pools, and increased autonomy. However, with these benefits come unique challenges, particularly in project management. For leaders managing dispersed teams, navigating remote workflows often requires a fresh perspective and new strategies. This article explores ...
Every time you access your digital bank, stream content, or make a secure payment, there's a system working behind the scenes to keep your online activities safe: Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). This complex framework underpins the trust and security that make today’s digital communications possible. From encrypting sensitive data ...
Mastering scripting languages is essential for anyone serious about web hacking and penetration testing. Unlike compiled languages, scripting languages interpret code line-by-line at runtime with no compiler required. This makes them agile, portable, and perfect for hands-on security work. Compiled languages, like C or Java, need a compiler to translate ...
Penetration testing has long been a vital component of any effective cybersecurity strategy. By simulating real-world attacks, it helps uncover exploitable vulnerabilities in systems before malicious actors do. Most people are familiar with black-box and gray-box penetration testing, where the tester has little or limited knowledge of the system. ...
In an era where cyber threats at times evolve faster than defense mechanisms, organisations often underestimate the power of scrutinising their software at its foundational level. While penetration testing (pentesting) is widely recognised as a cornerstone of cybersecurity strategy, source code reviewing remains an underutilised yet indispensable practice. Contrary to ...
In a previous article, we explored the critical role of adversarial thinking in penetration testing—adopting a "criminal mindset" to intuitively uncover vulnerabilities. While this approach is indispensable, it represents only half of the equation. The second, equally vital component is the ability to visualise code and architecture, forming a ...
