Deepfakes, Phishing, and the New Battle for Digital Trust

Not long ago, identifying an online scam followed a familiar playbook: check for suspicious sender addresses, bad grammar, generic greetings like "Dear Customer," or clumsy domain variations. While those basic hygiene checks still matter, relying on them today is a dangerous security trap. Artificial intelligence has fundamentally changed the economics and mechanics of social engineering. Attackers no longer need hours to research a target or write broken scripts. With generative AI, they can an

7 Signs Your Business Needs a Security Operations Center (SOC) Before It's Too Late

How Security Analysts Investigate Phishing Emails: A Step-by-Step Guide

What is phishing Email? Phishing emails are still the leading forms of social engineering attacks that target businesses today.

Outsourced SOC vs. Internal SOC: Cost, Control, and Coverage Compared

Every modern business invests in cybersecurity. Firewalls are deployed, antivirus software is configured, and security tools run around the clock, generating alerts whenever suspicious activity is detected. But a critical question remains: Who investigates those alerts when they appear at 3:00 AM? Security tools can identify unusual behavior, but they cannot decide whether an alert represents a false positive, a minor policy breach, or an active ransomware attack.

Ransomware Attacks in Bangladesh: What Local Businesses Should Know

Ransomware has stopped being a foreign news story for Bangladeshi companies. A widely cited 2022 Kaspersky survey placed Bangladesh at the top of the world for the share of users hit by Trojan-family attacks, at 3.69 percent, a figure the country’s own cyber authorities have referenced since. In its most recent public threat analysis, covering 2022 to 2023, BGD e-GOV CIRT, the national Computer Incident Response Team, recorded a 71.39 percent jump in malware activity carrying ransomware risk in
