ElysiumSecurity was invited by the Mauritian National Computer Security Incident Response Team (CERT-MU) to present at the FIRST Technical Colloquium 2017 which took place on the 30th of November 2017.
We gave a presentation on how IDS can be used both as a traditional defensive tool and also a more original offensive tool.

The aim of this presentation was to introduce the attendees of the various free and Open Source IDS offerings and to highlight the benefits and key components of a successful IDS implementation.
It was also emphasised on how easy it is to get started with an IDS both from a software and hardware point of view.

In an attempt to make a wordy presentation slide into something more palatable, I created this infographic to illustrate the main contributing factors of the growing attack surface and attack vectors faced by many organisations today. This contributes to an overall growth of their Cyber Security Risks posture.

ElysiumSecurity Ltd can help your organisation with assessing its attack surface and attack vectors to better understand its overall Cyber Security Risk posture and the remediation steps that should be prioritised.

Spoiler alert: the answer to this question is "not really". However, the subtle differences that do exist are important to acknowledge in order to successfully implement or provide Cyber Security in those locations.

I was interviewed recently for an upcoming article about Cyber Security in a regional African and Indian Ocean magazine called Eco Austral. As I answered the journalist's questions I wondered how different those answers would be if it was for a European magazine.

In this blog article, I will first provide the answers to the four questions I was asked in the wake of recent Ransomware attacks that generated a lot of public attention. I will then expand on those questions and will be looking at the different Cyber Security contexts for those regions in terms of advantages and disadvantages to, finally, identify common opportunities and challenges.
