Dear ,

The first quarter of 2022 is almost over. A wave of information security incidents as a result of Log4J and the war in the Ukraine has fortunately failed to happen, although there are plenty of companies that have been seriously impacted by this.

We notice that the awareness among entrepreneurs keeps rising, our partners do not have to address the subject of information security themselves as often as before, many customers are addressing the subject themselves. In doing so, they not only look at the preventive side, but also at who is liable for what.

Reason enough for a number of our partners to actively offer Guardian360 scanning, monitoring and detection themselves. The result is that we see a sharp increase in the number of customers on our platform and more and more organizations are becoming in control of their information security.

In this newsletter we introduce you to our new distributor Copaco and we share with you where we stand in regards to phishing simulations. Also, we give you a Lighthouse update like you're used to. Finally we update you on our search for an UX-developer.

I'm looking forward to meet some of you at Cloudfest!

Copaco enriches security offering with Guardian360

The data management security team of ICT distributor Copaco announces a new partnership with Guardian360 in The Netherlands as well as in Belgium. This way IT partners can protect end customers even better against criminal hackers. The portfolio already contains many security solutions: such as virus scanners, firewalls and backup & recovery. Security through continuous scanning and live reporting, as Guardian360 offers, was still missing. With this, people and organizations can make carefree use of networks and the internet.
 
Platinum partners SLTN and T-ICT

This month, our partner director Jeff handed over the first Platinum partner awards to SLTN and T-ICT.

Within Guardian360, we are happy with all of our partnership, but because our Platinum partners have committed to dedication and revenue, we wanted to put them in the spotlight.
 
Position on phishing simulations

In 2016, we added the Phishing As A Service service to our portfolio because we believed simulation phishing campaigns was a great way to test the human side of information security. Phishing simulations have long been a good starting point for awareness campaigns.

However, we finished running standardized phishing tests ourselves at the end of 2021 because real phishing attacks are now that good, there is a good chance that even a very aware person will fall for them. Phishing emails are often hard to distinguish from legit emails, which made us wonder about the value of measuring the number of employees who fall for a simulation. If we already know it will happen, would it not be better for an organization to focus on the phase after someone has clicked on a phishing link? How do you prevent high damages?

We also see that browser vendors are getting better and faster at detecting phishing domains, something we also suffered from with our legitimate phishing domains.

Finally, within our industry we are seeing more and more resistance to 'entrapment' of employees, the question of whether this is ethical and whether the means is sufficiently proportional to the objective is becoming louder and louder.

However, this does not mean that we have completely said goodbye to this method. In the meantime we have found a Dutch organization that is able to carry out a tailor-made phishing campaign. The rates they charge are different than the ones we used to charge, but then again these are not standardized campaigns.

Please contact us if you want to be introduced to this party.
 
Lighthouse update

In the past weeks we added new functionality to Guardian360 Lighthouse. We fixed some bugs also.

  • Tiles on the dashboard are now fully clickable and equipped with a tooltip
  • The dashboard tile showing the number of ip addresses now also shows the number of ip addresses scanned from our central scanner platform and the number of ip addresses scanned by probes
  • Lighthouse is now fully available in the German language, including the non-conformities
  • Filters have been added to the hacker alert index page
  • A sperate overview of acknowledged hacker alerts is available
  • The hacker alert API documentation has been extended
 
Our quest for an UX-developer

As you may have read in our previous partner newsletters we're on the lookout for an UX-developer. A rare combination between an UX/UI designer and a Frontend developer. In the past month we extended our search area far beyond our borders. As a result we have two candidates in our recruitment process who might be an excellent fit with our team. Fingers crossed!

Still, please let us know if you know anyone that fit's the job desciption!
