The Latest Red Piranha News

We hope everyone is doing good, staying safe.

In the blink of an eye, another month comes to an end. And like always, it had us on our toes. In August, we received the Black Unicorn Awards 2021 and welcomed our Security and Compliance Manager, Colin Twist. We also signed an MOU with Operation Unify Us to bridge the Australian cybersecurity skill gap for our First Nation and Defence Veterans.

Let’s see what new challenges this new month has in store for us, and don’t forget, our team is always here to assist you in your cybersecurity journey.

Red Piranha Unites with OUU to Close the Australian Cybersecurity Skill Gap for our First Nation and Defence Veterans

Red Piranha has partnered with Operation Unify Us (OUU) to develop the “Small Business Sales Pathway & Cybersecurity Internship Program”. A career development program designed to bridge the cybersecurity skill gap for the First Nation people and Defence Veterans.

Together, Red Piranha and OUU will create a direct route for Australian candidates to enter the cybersecurity industry via - in part our holistic educational program. Red Piranha will provide candidates with access to our onsite internship with our Security Operations Centre in addition to access to our suite of online cybersecurity online courses.

Service Spotlight: CEASR Application

As the threat landscape is evolving so rapidly, antivirus software is becoming less effective, and it’s critically important to be analysing malicious behaviours on the endpoints – not just looking at signatures.

CEASR reduces your attack surface with comprehensive endpoint protection, all integrated into our XDR platform. It achieves this by locking down known weaknesses in your Windows working environment often exploited by malware, applying policies based on the Australian Government’s ASD Windows ISM Controls and allows organisations to meet Essential Eight guidelines.

CEASR monitors and blocks suspicious software behaviours on endpoints via a range of methods.

Learn how CEASR can secure your organisation from cloud to endpoint by speaking to a member of our qualified team today.
