processes, and IT systems. Our vendors provide tools that help automate and streamline the implementation of ISO27001, from risk assessment and management to continuous monitoring and reporting.
• NIS 2 Directive: Te NIS 2 Directive expands the scope of sectors that must adhere to strict cybersecurity requirements. Compliance involves not just technical measures but also organisational and procedural changes. Our solutions include comprehensive security frameworks that address the directive’s requirements, ensuring that our partners can offer solutions to safeguard their customers critical infrastructure.
• Cyber Essentials Plus: Tis UK government-backed scheme is designed to help organisations protect themselves against common cyber threats. Achieving Cyber Essentials Plus certification involves a thorough assessment of an organisation’s security controls. Our vendors offer solutions that facilitate this process, providing everything from vulnerability assessments to incident response planning.
The rise of intelligent cyber threats As cybersecurity threats evolve, so too do the tools and strategies used to combat them. One of the most significant developments in recent years has been the rise of intelligent cyber threats powered by Generative AI (GenAI). Tese threats are more sophisticated and harder to detect, as they can adapt and learn from their environments in ways that traditional threats cannot. Generative AI can be used by cybercriminals to create
more convincing phishing emails, develop malware that can bypass conventional security measures, and even automate attacks, making them faster and more efficient. Tis has raised the stakes for cybersecurity professionals, who must now contend with adversaries that are more capable and resourceful than ever before.
Building a knowledgeable team To meet these loſty requirements, organisations must recognise that the knowledge and capabilities of their
security teams do not have to exclusive exist inhouse and that external partners such as QBS Soſtware can act as an extension of the team to aid or lead decision making. Utilising a specialist partner will bring cost savings to
enhance efficiencies, and by identifying opportunities to consolidate licence or product numbers against usage. Teir knowledge of the sector will enable you to become aware of future threats and risk trends early and proactively budget for a decide the most appropriate course of action.
Growth through innovation Technology procurement of any kind is becoming ‘a team effort’ amongst end users, partners, distributors and vendors as innovation drives rapid growth and disperses decision making for licence procurement. As we look to the future, emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) will rise in prominence which offer further relief for stretched teams promising automated threat detection and response solutions. Tese technologies can analyse vast amounts of data
to identify patterns and anomalies that may indicate a security threat, providing faster and more accurate protection for our partners. Additionally, the integration of blockchain technology to enhance data integrity and security across various platforms should be considered. In conclusion, its near impossible for organisations
of today to improve efficiencies, research and select the most appropriate technology products for their needs and stay secure without a strategic partner in place to guide and advise.
