The recent
attack on the Serious Organized Crime Agency (SOCA), most likely in response to the 36 data selling sites shut down a few weeks ago, lead to the admission by high ranking SOCA officials that the Ministry of Defense networks need to “beef up their security”. In response to this we would like to present solutions for protecting networks and systems from external attacks such as what happened with the MoD. In addition, we will provide a quick run-down of various security practices which , when not followed, can leave doors open for malicious actors attempting to gain access to internal networks, not only for the MoD but any organization or personal user.
