Historically, customers have used penetration testing to test the security of their infrastructure from an external or internal perspective. For a long time, this has been the ‘de facto’ standard to test for security vulnerabilities. However, we (penetration testers), have been aware for quite some time that this is not the full story.
Women’s representation in Cybersecurity is often a topic of discussion. As we speak, RSA Conference is being criticized for its lack of female keynote speakers with hundreds of Tech firms backing a rival event which promises to feature more women.
As you may be aware, today is international women’s day. Gender equality and inclusiveness have played a prominent role in society over recent years, with a strong call to motivate people to think, act and be gender inclusive. However, women in the cybersecurity industry are still underrepresented, with a large gap between male and female professionals.
Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) has recently become an interesting talking point in regards to PCI Compliance. If you aren’t taking the security of your VOIP seriously, you could be putting your entire organisation at risk; and could be liable for loss of cardholder data. It’s not as simple as just segmenting it away, there needs to be controls in place to prevent hackers from accessing that network segment among other security methods.
As you may be aware, the regulatory body governing the world’s airlines (International Air Transport Association, IATA) announced some time ago that travel agents across all mediums need to be PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards) compliant by June 2017. Fortunately, they have pushed the deadline forward to March 2018, giving businesses the much-needed leeway to obtain compliance.
