Am I being hacked?

[Kiri Robbie]

How does an organisation recognise that something wrong and is being hacked?

[Simon Allen]

I wish there was a foolproof answer for this - I'd certainly sleep better!

A SIEM is very useful for tracking anomalous behavior via event logs. Good endpoint protection that can report on executable chains is handy as well. Very keen to learn what others do, so I can integrate better methods into my own.

When i did security for defense forces, the networks I did were unable to be hacked because they were dedicated networks and not part of a public one like internet.

Sometimes it’s obvious – such as through ransomware messages, fake anti-virus messages, or phishing malware. But often, it’s not so clear, difficult to detect and goes unnoticed for a long time. The Australian Cyber Security Centre has published some handy information about hacking which you can find here: https://www.cyber.gov.au/acsc/view-all-content/threats/hacking. My suggestion would be to make sure you’re doing the basics well, and focus on increasing security to reduce the likelihood of a cyber breach.

One of the WW2 security awareness slogans and posters was “Loose lips sink ships”, so maybe for our modern times it could be “Fickle fingers destroy enterprises”.
