Cydarm Technologies

I'm up in Brisbane for the Realms of Cyber Conference on 28th August. If you're attending and care to catchup or talk all things Cydarm Technologies, I'd love to chat.

#BSidesLV is off to a great start! Highlights so far have been: "I'm a Machine and You Should Trust Me" by Dwayne McDaniel - all about Non-Human Identities, automated processes which probably outnumber human users by a factor 100:1 and are continuously growing. Of particular note: 🔵 The OWASP NHI Top 10: https://lnkd.in/gce-NyGq 🔵 The SPIFFE book that deals with the problem of trust roots (I will be reading this for sure!): https://lnkd.in/g9bGHTP2 "SOC Like a Genius" - by Oudy E., about how agents can be deployed in a SOC environment to reduce alert volume and make responses faster. ...and of course catching up with friends!

Some exciting news! #Cydarm has been featured in #Gartner's Hype Cycle for Security Operations 2025 as a vendor in the emerging category, "Cybersecurity Incident Response Management", or #CIRM. So what is CIRM? CIRM is a purpose-built platform that helps large organizations coordinate cyber incident response across multiple teams through automated workflows, secure documentation, and integrated communications, going far beyond basic ITSM ticketing systems. If you think that sounds a lot like what Cydarm does, you would be right! At its core, Cydarm is based on the tried and tested concept of case management, and includes fine-grained access control (#ABAC, including multi-tenancy), integrated #playbooks, #integration, #automation, and generation of #reports. Cydarm enables cyber defense teams in a variety of Critical Infrastructure and Government organizations to deal with an increasingly complex and fast-paced threat environment, meeting the challenge with better, faster, more consistent response. Get in touch or visit our website for more info!

After more than a decade, #NIST has upgraded their incident response guidance, and there are a lot of changes, including alignment with NIST CSF 2.0. The new NIST SP 800-61r3 shifts from treating incident response as an isolated process to integrating it throughout an organization's cybersecurity strategy. This is not just a technical update - modern cyber threats don't wait for convenient timing and there is no such thing as perfect incident response. If you want to implement NIST guidance, try #Cydarm #CaseManagement for #SOC - built to handle the practical reality of modern cybersecurity operations.

📢🎤#BlueCon#0x0E🔥💥🚀 - Thank you all for coming out yesterday to listen to me rant about my research in the area of AI, critical thinking, problem solving, and how to gain an edge in cybersecurity in spite of the noise. #LifeLongLearner Thanks to CyLynk Sekuro Cydarm Technologies for making these events happen every month. Feedback is welcomed - especially if it is about my dad jokes 😜🙈 #AttackInformedDefence #BlueCon#0x0E

Proud to be supporting Cyber BlueCon!

“Just automate it” isn’t a strategy. It’s a shortcut to risk. The gap between AI hype and real-world security operations has never been wider. While vendors talk up fully autonomous SOCs, most teams are still buried in alerts, casework, and manual tasks. Here’s the truth: 👉 Most SOCs aren’t ready for full automation 👉 You don’t need to be 👉 Case management is the ideal launchpad for practical, low-risk AI adoption It’s where structured workflows, rich data, and human judgment meet. And that’s exactly where AI can help, by supporting, not replacing, your analysts. Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/g9UeyqQd #SOCManagement #AISOCManagement #CaseManagement

📢It’s happening again... BlueCon#0x0E is LIVE this July – and you do NOT want to miss this one. 💥🚀16-07-2025 This isn’t just another cyber talk -- it’s your chance to understand how your brain and AI tools like ChatGPT can work together to give you an edge in modern cyber security. Join Sammy Chuks.. (Cyber Security Ops Manager at Sekuro & CEO of CyberLynk as he breaks down how defenders can level up with AI, what the risks are, and how to think more critically and creatively in a high-pressure cyber environment. Then: We switch gears and go hands-on. This month’s workshop will walk through the OWASP LLM Top 10 – the real risks of LLMs, how attackers are abusing AI, and what YOU can do to detect and respond. Hands-on, practical, and community-powered. Just how we like it. 🤠 You’ll walk away with knowledge, connections, and experience that most cyber pros are still trying to figure out. Spots are already filling up – don’t wait. 🔗 Melbourne (In-person): https://lnkd.in/gj_SfJ9w 🔗 Accra, Ghana (Live Stream): https://lnkd.in/gGdJ4z25 🔗 Lagos/Abuja, Nigeria (Live Stream):https://lnkd.in/g_-2nqzT #BlueCon is more than an event — it’s an #AttackinformedDefence movement.

At RSA 2025, vendors promised fully autonomous security operations and lights-out SOCs. Reality check: most security teams are still battling alert fatigue, stretched resources, and basic reporting pain. You don’t need to go full agentic to get real value from AI. The smartest place to start? Case management. 👉 Augment human analysts, don’t replace them 👉 Reduce manual grunt work, keep critical decisions in human hands 👉 Build AI maturity one measurable outcome at a time Our latest blog cuts through the noise and shows how smart SOCs are using AI to improve investigations without risking business continuity.

Cydarm Technologies was proud to support yet another sold-out cybersecurity event in June featuring: Talk: "P1s, Rabbit Holes & Real-World Blues" by Robin Poudel (Cythera) - Real-world insights on analyst-to-engineer transitions and staying resilient in high-pressure SOCs. Workshop: Practical Phishing Email Analysis by CyberLynk Team - Hands-on training in malicious email analysis and threat hunting, with attendees gaining immediately applicable skills for combating the 75%+ of breaches caused by phishing. Great to see such strong community engagement in practical cybersecurity learning. Big thanks to Sammy Chuks.. for his outstanding work organizing this event and bringing the community together! 🙌
