In this episode, I dive into the critical importance of Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) and how it helps organisations stay ahead of attackers. Learn about the practice of gathering, analyzing, and applying information to understand potential or existing threats.
I break down the three levels of CTI: strategic, tactical, and operational intelligence, explaining their roles in enhancing security posture. Discover how CTI provides insights into who is attacking, their methods, and their objectives.
Explore the process of data collection from various sources, analysis to identify patterns, and dissemination of actionable intelligence within the organization. I also discuss the challenges of implementing CTI, including handling large volumes of data and ensuring effective collaboration.
Lastly, I look at the future of CTI, highlighting automation, AI, and predictive intelligence as key trends. Learn about essential tools and platforms like ThreatConnect, Splunk, and Darktrace that support CTI efforts.
Join me for an insightful discussion on protecting your organiastion from sophisticated cyber threats.
Enjoy!

Welcome to Episode 42 of the Cyber Security Happy Hour Podcast, with your host, Christie.
In this gripping episode, I interview Alexander Rogan and Christian Rogan, co-founders of Platinum High Integrity Technologies. They discuss their disruptive Cyber Security solution, a technology that works at ring zero, effectively blocking unauthorised binary codes from deploying onto the system.
This game-changing approach confronts malware before it can do damage, ensuring cyber safety. Tune in as they shed light on how their technology eliminates the need for constant updates and struggles with false positives.
We dive deep into the advanced realm of Cyber Security, discussing innovative technologies that offer a powerful shield against potential cyber-attacks. In this lively conversation, we explore unique approaches to protect core systems and combat notorious hacker groups worldwide.
Offering insights into the dual-authority systems, I reveal how they reduce the risk of system breaches and impede unauthorised system changes. Alexander and Christian also explain how their advanced technology, Abatis®, counters persistent cyber-attacks, securing systems from the most modern versions of Windows to legacy OS.
The discussion extends to explore the financial implications of using Abatis® to secure critical assets. Alexander and Christian emphasise the staggering return on investment for enterprises, the potential to eliminate costly extended licenses, and the tremendous stress reduction for security operations centre (SOC) analysts. They suggest introducing Abatis® even before compliance standards such as PCI DSS are enacted, owing to its comprehensive threat analysis and advanced preventative measures.
Additionally, we delve into ways to counter insider threats, the limitations of existing security solutions, and the transitions to AI-based solutions. Alexander and Christian highlight the rising costs of maintaining current security infrastructure and the significance of proactive measures in countering cyber threats.
They round up the discussion by shedding light on their plans to explore future applications of Abatis®, including cellular protection, Android security, Linux systems protection, and IoT.
Join us in this compelling episode to understand how Platinum High Integrity Technologies is revolutionising Cyber Security by offering simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and proactive protection.

Welcome to Episode 41 of the Cyber Security Happy Hour Podcast.
In this podcast, your host, Christie, explores the critical facet of cyber security vulnerability scanning. Decode the myths, understand what vulnerability scans encompass, and why their role within an organization is of paramount importance.
Firstly, begin with an overview of vulnerability scans, which are systematic system and network evaluations that identify potential security weaknesses.
The focus is on how these scans are employed using specialised tools to unearth vulnerabilities such as outdated software, weak passwords and non-security flaws that cyber attackers could exploit.
Understand how they form proactive measure that organizations could use to stay ahead of these threats.
Next, delved into varied types of vulnerability scans that focus on specific areas like network vulnerability and web application vulnerabilities.
Explored the step-by-step process involved in carrying out a scan - from scanning and analysing to reporting.
Consider how the findings like the presence of unpatched software or misconfigurations in networks, which pose significant risks, are addressed.
After that, the categorization of vulnerabilities based on severity- critical, high, medium, low, and informational, provides an understanding of how companies prioritize risks and strategise their remediation efforts.
Understand how organizations can follow through continuous improvements that aid in the identification of vulnerabilities and prompt remediation of them.
Furthermore, gain insights into the tools used in vulnerability scanning like Nessus, OpenVAS, and Qualys.
Learn how IT security teams, network administrators, third party security providers, audit teams and compliance teams play a vital role in conducting vulnerability scans.
A recap on the significant points discussed in the episode. Remember, Cyber Security is a journey, not a destination. Stay vigilant, proactive, and committed to addressing these vulnerabilities with regular vulnerability scans.
Thank you for tuning in and be sure to join for the next episode for more insights into the ever-evolving world of Cyber Security. Until next time, stay safe, stay secure, and keep defending Cyber Security.
Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 40 of the Cyber Security Happy Hour Podcast.
Host: Christie
Episode 40: The Zero Trust Security Model
Today, I take a deep dive into the Zero Trust Security Model, a Cyber Security approach that continuously verifies and never assumes trust.
The zero trust framework challenges conventional methods of trust based on entities' locations, securing potential loopholes through constant verification whether users are inside or outside the organization network.
The goal of the Zero Trust Model is not just to prevent unauthorized access to data and services, but to enhance security, protect sensitive information, and mitigate cyber risk.
In today’s hybrid work environment, combining remote and office work, securing access to critical information is paramount. It is crucial to verify user identity and restrict privileges, applying the principle of least access.
I also highlight how partitioning networks into smaller segments controls access, reducing the potential impact of a security breach and containing potential threats.
Additionally, continuous monitoring and behavior analysis enable proactive defense and early threat detection, further backed by encryption to secure data in transit and at rest.
Multiple technological solutions can be utilized to implement the Zero Trust Architecture.
I also discuss several popular and integral methods, such as multi-factor authentication, single sign-on, Identity and Access Management, and Zero Trust Network Access.
These solutions provide a multi-layered defense against security breaches, collaborating to achieve a robust zero trust ecosystem.
As valuable as Zero Trust Model is, it’s important to understand the challenges such as implementation complexity, user experience, resource intensity, requirement for training, and cost.
However, with careful planning, a thorough risk assessment, and commitment to ongoing improvements, many organizations find that the benefits of adopting a zero trust model outweigh these challenges.
Stay tuned to our future episodes as we continue to provide insights into Cyber-Security and the Zero Trust Security Model.
I appreciate our listeners and invite you to follow our podcast, leave comments, and share it with others. Together, let's continue learning, growing, and taking proactive steps in Cyber Security.
Enjoy!
