AI for SOC Intelligence: A Practical Guide

How-to implement a multi-client Site-to-Site VPN with WireGuard

This technical white paper is an operational guide to implement a multi-client Site-to-Site VPN infrastructure using WireGuard, a solution renowned for its flexibility and robustness.

How-to implement a multi-client Site-to-Site VPN with OpenVPN

This technical white paper is an operational guide to implement a multi-client Site-to-Site VPN infrastructure using OpenVPN, a solution renowned for its flexibility and robustness.

How STPA will propel safety analysis beyond its failure-bound paradigm.

This white paper offers a practical approach to building a more robust safety capability. Discover how to propel safety analysis beyond its failure-bound paradigm by harmonising the top-down systemic insights of System-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) with the bottom-up quantitative verification of Model-Based Safety Analysis (MBSA).

Building efficient Cyber Resilience under environmental constraints

Aligning Cyber defence with resources management. Today, we are navigating a period of major transitions where the acceleration of digital technologies and environmental challenges often collide. The cyber threat landscape is intensifying, transforming security from a technical matter into a strategic requirement for accelerating organisational resilience.

Understanding Linux namespaces

This technical white paper aims to move beyond the ‘black box’ abstraction to explore the Linux kernel primitives that ensure the isolation and security of containerised environments.

Supporting climate change adaptation and resilience in the aviation sector

In this White Paper, our experts leverage predictive modeling to strengthen aviation resilience against climate change. While mitigation is vital, our study of the top 30 U.S. airports highlights a 14% rise in weather-related cancellations, demanding adaptation. This white paper provides actionable foresight into risks like extreme heat and infrastructure flooding. We empower stakeholders to identify critical thresholds and future-proof operations through industry-specific, data-driven insights.

Sharpening Your Business Resilience Strategy

This whitepaper explores how resilience has evolved from a narrow focus on disaster recovery and standard contingency planning into a strategic, enterprise-wide capability that prioritises long-term stability by anticipating and preparing for a broad spectrum of potential threats.

Zero Trust Considerations for OT

Zero Trust is a critical shift in security for OT. It moves away from the old perimeter-based model by continuously verifying every user and device, which is essential as OT and IT networks become more interconnected.

Supply Chain Cybersecurity

In an era of increasing digitalisation and globalisation, businesses are increasingly reliant on complex and dispersed supply chains. While this strategy offers numerous benefits, it also exposes organisations to significant new risks, particularly in the realm of cybersecurity. This white paper explores why supply chain cybersecurity management has become crucial and proposes concrete strategies to address this complex challenge.

Human Factors Framework Development

This white paper discusses the research and development of a Human Factors (HF) Assessment Framework by CCUK Airbus. CCUK Airbus have been involved in several socio-technical vulnerability assessments for the Ministry of Defence (MoD) since 2017, during which the lack of a suitable opensource HF assessment tool became apparent. A suitable framework would allow the team to assess the organisation in a consistent way which is easily understandable for the customer.

The Airbus Approach for Cyber Security in the Rail Sector

The rail sector is shifting to a new paradigm of digitalisation to bring in efficiencies to counter the increased demands of travelling passengers and goods transport, while ensuring the highest safety and security of the infrastructure. To achieve this goal, Rail Operators have adopted modern systems combining IT and IoT technologies. Digital transformation strategies within the Rail sector include more connectivity for Industrial Control Systems (ICS), increasing their exposure and potentially making them more vulnerable and exposed to cyber-attacks.
