When cyber attackers infiltrate your systems, they rely on stealth to remain unnoticed. According to IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024, it takes an average of 292 days to identify and contain breaches involving stolen credentials, 261 for phishing attacks, and 257 days for social engineering attacks.
According to Gartner Extended Detection and Response (XDR) is a concept which provides a SaaS-based, vendor-specific security threat detection and incident response system that integrates multiple security products into a cohesive security operations system, providing a more holistic approach to cybersecurity.

We've all likely heard about zero trust architectures being the next major step in network security, but what exactly do we understand about it? And, more importantly, why should you be interested in this new concept?
Not long ago, getting an email with a QR code might have made you skeptical. But by 2023, things have evolved significantly. QR codes are now a common part of our daily lives, used for everything from checking out restaurant menus to making online payments and using public transit apps. We've become so accustomed to them that we instinctively reach for our phones to scan them whenever we see one.
In a time where data is as valuable as gold, the frequency of data breaches has become a concerning reality. While advanced hacking methods get more media attention, organizations are ramping up their cybersecurity measures. These measures often include evaluating system vulnerabilities, fortifying firewalls, scrutinizing email security, and optimizing identity and access management. However, one crucial component of the attack surface is frequently neglected: the human element. This oversight has led to a surge in threat actors exploiting human vulnerabilities, making it a top method for initial access into systems.
Historically, information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) environments were designed to operate independently, be managed by different teams with different objectives, and had no cross over between the two. However, this has changed dramatically over the past decades — mostly due to the acceleration of digital transformation. Organizations in all sectors have since become increasingly reliant on newer types of cyber-physical systems and other technologies that both require and continue to expand connectivity between IT and OT. As a result, these previously isolated environments are converging, giving rise to undeniable business benefits ranging from greater efficiency and sustainability to innovation. Unfortunately, this convergence is also fueling new risks and challenges — particularly when it comes to IT and OT cybersecurity.
