Board of Directors and Offensive Security: Navigating Cybersecurity Challenges at the Governance Level

by

The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the implementation of offensive security strategies and ensuring that they are effectively managed. This requires a proactive approach to risk management, where the Board plays an active role in setting the tone for cybersecurity governance and ensuring that appropriate resources and expertise are allocated to address identified risks.

Offensive security refers to the proactive approach of identifying vulnerabilities and potential threats within an organisation’s systems and networks. It involves techniques such as vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, malware analysis, cyber forensics, and reverse engineering. The goal is to simulate real-world attacks, uncover weaknesses, and develop strategies to counteract these threats before they are exploited by malicious actors.

In this type of attack, malicious actors forge the sender’s email address to deceive recipients into believing the email originated from a legitimate source, usually a trusted contact or organisation. This form of deception can result in devastating outcomes, from unauthorised access to sensitive information to financial losses, as recipients are manipulated into divulging credentials, transferring funds, or performing other damaging actions.

DNSSEC Misconfigurations: Safeguarding the Modern Digital Landscape

by

The Domain Name System (DNS) translates domain names into IP addresses, acting as the internet’s address book. DNSSEC is a suite of extensions to DNS that authenticates these translations, ensuring that users connect to legitimate websites rather than to rogue or malicious ones. It uses cryptographic signatures to verify that responses to DNS queries have not been altered, effectively protecting against several forms of cyberattacks.
