What is Patch Management and why it matters

Patch management is the process of applying updates, known as “patches”, to software systems. These patches are released by vendors to fix security vulnerabilities, bugs and improve compatibility across devices and applications. Think of them like a plumber fixing a leaky pipe before your kitchen floods.  These small but essential interventions keep everything running smoothly.

When organisations delay or ignore updates, tiny cracks begin to appear in their digital infrastructure. Individually, these may seem insignificant, but collectively they can become glaring weaknesses that hackers are all too eager to exploit. Affecting not just IT systems, but cyber incidents can ripple outwards, disrupting operations, eroding customer trust, and damaging reputations.

The real cost of ignoring updates

Security is the primary reason for timely and regular patching. Cybercriminals often target vulnerabilities that are already known and documented. If you leave your systems unpatched, it’s like leaving your front door wide open and hoping no one notices. Many breaches go undetected for months, giving attackers plenty of time to cause damage.

But patching isn’t only about security. Updates frequently introduce new features, enhance stability, and improve performance. For businesses, prompt patching means fewer outages, smoother workflows, and uninterrupted productivity. Neglecting these updates can trigger disruptions just as severe as a cyber attack such as a critical application crashing or an entire network grinding to a halt.

Building resilience, one patch at a time

Each patch applied is a step towards cumulative resilience. Imagine your company’s IT environment as a fortress: every update strengthens its walls, closes a gap, and adds another layer of protection. Missed updates weaken the entire defence, exposing endpoints, servers, and cloud platforms alike. Consistent patch management reduces attack surfaces, supports regulatory compliance, and builds confidence across the organisation.

The modern challenge:  Doing more with less

Yet, for many organisations, keeping up with patches is easier said than done. IT teams are stretched thin, and the volume of updates can be overwhelming. This is where managed approaches come into play, offering expertise, automation, and assurance without distracting from strategic priorities. It’s no longer just about fixing problems; it’s about proactively securing the future.

Time to hit ‘Update’, not ‘Snooze’

Patch management is the unsung hero of cyber resilience.  At Prosperity 24/7, we view patch management as a foundation of cyber and business resilience – not a background task.

Next time that update notification pops up, remember that embracing patches is investing in the ongoing health and reputation of your business. A few minutes for updates is a small price to pay for lasting peace of mind.

As you would expect, security culture is a collection of shared norms, attitudes, beliefs and behaviours within an organisation that reflect a common commitment to security. Security culture is derived from several influences including existing culture, the commitment from leadership, effective security training, consistent and clear communication, adopted policies, as well as an environment that encourages reporting, responsibility and accountability towards continuous improvement.

What does a positive security culture look like?

The idea of your organisation or personal data being the subject of a cyber-attack is likely to instil fear into your people, but adopting a positive security culture created through the belief of common values, practices and behaviours helps to encourage security in our everyday lives and make defence part of the norm.
Creating a security culture isn’t a one-time implementation, but a continuous investment. It requires:

1. Education – continuous employee awareness and education must be in place. It must be relevant to the employee and to real world situations, supporting employees to identify and report risks.
2. Leadership – buy-in and commitment from the top is crucial. Placing security as a strategic priority and modelling good security behaviours – encourages the active engagement and support of all other employees.
3. Communication – adoption of good practices that allow employees to report incidents or issues without the fear of being penalised.
4. Collective responsibility – security is no longer just an IT responsibility but an everyone responsibility. Implementing strong processes to support responsibility models and using techniques to engage employees to feedback and develop the security approach.
5. Integration – security should be embedded into all organisational practices, and not simply an afterthought to be bolted on at the end or a later date.
6. Recognition and Reward – security practices that are rewarded and recognised generate engagement and encourage good security behaviour and habits to be adopted by employees.

Why does it matter?

Having a positive security culture is not just a nice to have, it is essential.

• It reduces the risk of costly errors often caused by human mistakes.
• It provides a more robust means of recovery in the case of crisis, as we are more prepared and understand what to do.
• Provides a competitive edge, showcasing to suppliers and clients that security is taken seriously and integrated into company values.
• Promotes a safe and supportive environment improving staff engagement.

Creating a positive security culture creates the direct link that ensure policies, process and technology all work together in unison.

What does the Cyber Security Culture look like in the Channel Islands today?

Working closely with businesses across the Channel Islands, we have seen more companies placing concerted efforts in improving their security, and recognition that it’s a combination of technology, process and people that will help them improve.

Across the Channel Islands there is a very active Cyber Security community, who have one common objective to keep our islands safe. Prosperity 24/7 are proud to be part of this community, to champion and support the building blocks that are being put in place to shape our security culture and behaviours.

Some of the building blocks that we have in place include:

1. Community Led Initiatives are critical to educating and reinforcing a shared sense of responsibility. For example, The Channel Island Information Security Forum (CIISF) brings together cyber and information security professionals. With over 500 members, this forum organises the annual Cyber Security Conference held in Jersey, along with other training sessions and activities that boost awareness and professional development.
2. Public Engagement and Co-operation – security initiatives rarely succeed if they do not have the backing of the public. The introduction of the Jersey Cyber Security Centre (JCSC) has this aim at its core which is responsible for promoting and improving cyber resilience across Jersey’s critical national infrastructure and everyday life. To achieve this, they have actively enlisted the support of local businesses through their suppliers and CISO advisory groups, who contribute valuable insights into how security is perceived and where we need to place conscious efforts for future success.
3. Governance and Policy Development – regulatory frameworks, such as the Cyber Security (Jersey) Law 2025, aim to mandate security responsibilities across the industries, specifically operators of essential services.
4. Industry Collaborations and Strategic Partnerships – Local businesses are bolstering their Cyber Defence capabilities. Identifying those products and services, that will provide the maximum defences that are relative to business types and can be successfully adopted into existing business cultures.
5. Education and Learning – The next generation of Cyber Security professionals are entering the workplace with industry and government backing to nurture their growth and development. Examples include the annual youth hackathons, petitions to improve the digital curriculum and engagement from local cyber security businesses at careers fairs to showcase cyber security as an attractive career path.

Commitment for change

Prosperity 24/7 have been actively involved in all Cyber Security initiatives across our islands, through regular engagement, sponsorship and support. We continue to champion the improvement of our security culture, through our own internal practices, individual services, and in line with our Cyber Security Strategic partnerships.

We recognise that a positive security culture across our islands is not fully developed, but the commitment to make a change certainly is. Companies, both with our help and the help of others, are moving toward building cultures that operate under a model of shared responsibility and trust.

Security culture can be seen in the choices people make daily, and not just in the policies and technology we put in place. All three compliment and need each other to make positive change. Leadership teams who show commitment and employees who view security as an enabler rather than a blocker, mean that when mistakes do happen, they can viewed as opportunities for lessons to be learned, to tighten measures or try something new – then we can say that a positive security culture exists.

Are we there just yet…. Not quite – but we are definitely on the right path…

The good news is that with every new challenge there is also an opportunity. Companies can work together with their partners, customers, and the broader industry to build stronger, more resilient defences.

Incident readiness matters more than ever

The media is full of reports of companies being compromised. The headlines focus on the fact they were attacked, rather than how effectively they responded. I guess you could draw your own conclusions, about the time it takes for an incident to get into the public realm and the company statements providing an update on their position. It’s very rare that you will see reference to an effectively effected incident response (IR) plan.

That being said, Companies are demonstrating an increased level of maturity, in recognising that incidents don’t just happen to other people but can happen to them.

At Prosperity 24/7, we’re seeing a rise in organisations wanting to be prepared—not just compliant for a number of reasons:

• Stakeholder Trust – customers, partners and suppliers’ expectations regarding the security of their data is increasing. They expect your company to recover effectively and look for assurance that it won’t happen again, through the effective incident response strategies that you have in place.
• Insurability – Insurers now expect strong incident response processes as a pre-requisite of effective cyber security and in some cases, won’t offer cover without proof of a working IR capability.
• Confidence – companies want to ensure their IR plans can be executed with confidence, and through frequent IR testing, they can build muscle memory to response to a real incident in a controlled and composed manner.
• Regulatory expectations – new legislation and frameworks are driving effective, regularly tested IR plans, which are now mandating that IR is embedded into the provision of IT Services.

Current trends in cyber threats to your business

According to current trends (from our Partner Arctic Wolf):

• Ransomware and Data Extortion still dominate, making up 44% of incident response cases.
• Data Breach/Intrusion Responses account for 24%.
• Business Email Compromise (BEC) incidents sit at 27%, including:
  • Account compromise
  • Data theft
  • CEO/executive fraud
  • False invoice schemes
  • Product theft
  • Impersonation of legal representatives
• Rising Active Threat Actor Compromises should be considered a significant risk.

Prevention is still critical, but response makes the difference

Preventative measures like patching, vulnerability management, good security hygiene, and user awareness training remain fundamental. But response readiness, defined as the ability to detect, react and recover swiftly during an active threat, is equally critical and completes your organisations’ cyber security strategy.

Response is as much about people and processes as it is about technology, because an effective and timely response depends on people doing the right thing under immense pressure.

And that’s were preparation and practice matter most. You’d much rather find flaws in your response during a simulation exercise than during an actual ransomware attack.

Not just ticking a box

An Incident Response plan starts with a ‘point in time’ assessment of the technology, people and processes required to recover from an incident when it happens. However, it isn’t something to be treated as a tick box exercise then locked away in a drawer. IR plans are too commonly not looked at again, even when an incident does occur. Incident response should be included in the DNA of every company, as it is instrumental to how we can respond to attacks within it.

Our partners, Arctic Wolf reported that: 84% of organisations currently have an IR plan in place but only 59% of those have reviewed or updated their plan in the last 12 months.

That leaves a significant proportion with outdated, untested, or theoretical plans which may not hold up under real-world attack conditions.

Move from reactive to resilient

The threat landscape will keep evolving, but with the right focus on people, process, technology and practice, organisations can move from reactive to resilient.

Don’t wait until it’s too late. If your organisation hasn’t revisited its Incident Response plan recently or even worse, not thought about it yet, now is the time.

As a 5th Dan Associate Professor in American Kenpo and someone deeply involved in the cybersecurity world, I’ve noticed some fascinating parallels between the two disciplines. While one involves protecting the body and the other focuses on securing data and systems, the underlying principles of defence, adaptability, and continuous improvement are strikingly similar. Let’s explore some of the key lessons I’ve found that link these two worlds together: 

Defence in Depth: Layering Your Protection

In American Kenpo, we are taught to defend ourselves using a series of layered defences. Whether it’s blocks, parries, evasions, or counters, each layer is designed to protect us from an attack before turning the tables on our opponent. This concept is mirrored in cybersecurity with Defence in Depth, where multiple protective measures—such as firewalls, encryption, multi-factor authentication, and real-time monitoring—are employed to keep malicious actors at bay. Whether it’s in a sparring match or on a network, the more barriers we create, the harder it becomes for an attacker to succeed. 

Adaptability: Staying Agile in an Evolving Landscape

Kenpo teaches you to adapt to any type of attack. No two situations are exactly the same, so you must be flexible. This can be in form of something mundane like a lapel grab to a situation involving multiple attackers. For each situation there is a reaction. In cybersecurity, adaptability is equally critical when dealing with ever-evolving threats like new malware or zero-day vulnerabilities. Just as a martial artist adjusts to their opponent, cybersecurity professionals must stay agile, ready to tackle emerging threats. 

Kata (Forms) & Security Policies: Structured Preparedness

In American Kenpo, Kata, or forms, in Kenpo involve practicing structured sequences of movements designed to prepare us for real-world scenarios. These forms are ingrained in our muscle memory, allowing us to respond effectively in live situations.  They start as what is known as the ‘Dictionary Forms’ and progress to more complex Technique based Katas. These forms are similar to security policies in cybersecurity, which are predefined rules and procedures designed to handle specific threats. Both offer structured, repeatable approaches to common challenges, whether they’re physical or digital attacks. 

Techniques & Incident Response: Tailoring the Reaction

Each Kenpo’s techniques is designed to prepare us for situational specific threats—whether it’s a grab, punch, or kick. We assess the situation and apply the right technique to neutralise the attack threat. In cybersecurity, each type of threat (phishing, DDoS, ransomware) requires a specific incident response. Just like Kenpo practitioners have a counter for each type of physical attack, cybersecurity professionals develop tailored responses to each kind of cyber threat, ensuring readiness for various scenarios. 

Sparring & Penetration Testing: Testing Defences in Real Time

In Kenpo, sparring is where theory meets practice. It’s a live, controlled environment where practitioners apply what they’ve learned, react to unpredictable opponents, and refine their timing and techniques. Cybersecurity has its equivalent in penetration testing, also known as ethical hacking. In this process, security professionals simulate cyberattacks on systems to identify vulnerabilities before a real attacker can exploit them. Both sparring and penetration testing are crucial for refining defences—whether physical or digital—and ensuring that our strategies work when they’re truly needed. 

Speed and Precision: Acting Quickly and Accurately

One of the key lessons in Kenpo is the importance of quick, precise movements to neutralize threats before they escalate. Every second counts, and the faster and more accurately you can respond, the better your chances of success. The same holds true in cybersecurity, where rapid incident response is critical to stopping breaches in their tracks. Whether in martial arts or managing a security breach, the ability to respond quickly and accurately often makes all the difference between success and failure. 

Continuous Training: Staying Ahead of the Threat

Mastery in Kenpo is a lifelong journey, it comes through constant practice—drills, sparring, and refining techniques and Kata. Similarly, cybersecurity is not static. Threats evolve, and staying ahead means continuously learning and adapting to new technologies and attack vectors. Just as we regularly spar and train in the dojo, cybersecurity professionals must engage in ongoing education and training to ensure they’re always ready to face the next challenge. 

In both the dojo and the digital world, one thing remains true: preparedness, adaptability, and continuous improvement are the keys to effective defence. Whether it’s mastering a martial art or securing a network, these core principles guide us to success. The next time you’re thinking about cybersecurity, remember—sometimes the best defence isn’t just digital, but philosophical, and deeply rooted in the art of self-discipline. This blend of martial arts philosophy and cybersecurity practice shows that no matter the battlefield—whether physical or virtual—the rules of defence, adaptability, and training are universal. Both areas demand respect, commitment, and a readiness to evolve.

When the chips are down, limited resources and less sophisticated security measures make small and medium enterprises (SMEs) prime targets for cyberattacks over larger organisations. But the UK government-backed IASME’s Cyber Essentials scheme offers a solution. SMEs can protect themselves from the most common cyber threats and get an edge over the house.

Secure Your Business Now

Cyber Essentials is designed to help organisations of all sizes protect against a wide range of the most common cyberattacks. It sets out five key security controls that can prevent around 80% of cyber attacks. These controls include:

• Firewalls – Secure the internet connection.
• Secure Configuration – Ensure devices and software are optimised to be secure.
• Access Control – Manage who can use particular data and services.
• Malware Protection – Preventative measures against software designed to disrupt or damage.
• Patch Management – Keep devices and software up-to-date.

Top Reasons to Choose Cyber Essentials

There are several benefits to implementing Cyber Essentials.

• Enhanced Security Posture – Significantly reduce vulnerability to cyberattacks. The five controls provide a solid foundation for a cybersecurity strategy, ensuring that simple but critical security measures are in place.
• Business Credibility – It demonstrates to your stakeholders that your business takes cybersecurity seriously. Enhancing your reputation and building trust, crucial for maintaining and growing your customer base.
• Compliance and Legal Requirements – For many businesses, it helps meet regulatory requirements. It can be mandatory for bidding on certain government contracts. Compliance helps avoid legal penalties and improves your chances of securing new business.
• Cost Savings – Stopping a cyberattack before it happens is cheaper than fixing the damage afterwards. Avoid those large expenses caused by data leaks, such as loss of work, loss of customers, or being hit with fines. It might even cut down your insurance costs, as some insurers give a break on premiums.
• Streamlined Processes – The independently verified self-assessment of your current security measures and practices helps identify inefficiencies and areas for improvement, leading to more streamlined and effective operations.

What’s the difference between Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus?

Cyber Essentials does the groundwork, but Cyber Essentials Plus elevates that to the next level. The primary distinction is the degree of validation it offers. Essentially, it’s a detailed technical review of your Cyber Essentials application.

• Independent Verification – A hands-on verification from a qualified auditor provides a higher level of assurance. Your systems will be tested to ensure that the controls are not only implemented but also effective.
• Enhanced Protection – The testing involved means subjects your systems to stricter checks. Ensuring a higher standard of security and uncovers vulnerabilities that might have been missed during self-assessment.
• Increased Credibility – Stakeholders can see that your cybersecurity measures are independently verified, further enhancing trust and opening doors to more business.

Cyber Essentials for SMEs is well worth the investment. It is a cost-effective and efficient method for safeguarding against cyber threats, offering both reassurance and a market advantage. Advancing to Cyber Essentials Plus gives companies further confidence and security. In the current environment, committing to strong cybersecurity practices is not merely wise but also crucial for enduring prosperity.

The downside is that it is also a highly valued commodity for cybercriminals. By stealing information like your identity, bank or credit card details, they can cause disruption, sell data on the dark web, commit financial fraud, launder money, commit espionage and extortion to name a few.

Placing value on your data

All organisations know what data they hold and what it’s worth; but few consider its true value should it fall into the wrong hands and be used against them. Placing a value on it, enables organisations to put in place protection that is both relative to the size of their organisation and appropriate cost placed on it to the value of the data they are trying to protect.  Think of what you do when you insure your luxury watch for more than it’s worth!

Steps to securing your data

Regardless of business size or industry, there are key areas where companies can invest time, budget and resources to improve their data protection:

1. Data Governance – companies can establish a data governance policy or framework which defines how they manage, process, and secure their corporate data. This will include the roles and responsibilities of all members of staff who may access these assets. This helps to provide a unified corporate response on how to handle data assets and provides a centralised compliance model for ongoing Data Security governance.

2. Data Classification – by classifying data based on how valuable, important or sensitive it is can greatly improve your security position. Classification enables organisations to label their assets and set up rules to automatically manage and secure distinct types of data properly.

3. Frameworks and Certifications – not every company has an appetite to go through a rigorous exercise of aligning their internal processes to an Information or Cyber Security Framework. They can be mistakenly seen as be a prohibitive cost to in terms of design, implementation and ongoing governance. Again, true value and not cost should be the main consideration. Most organisations will operate at around 70-80% of any security framework, simply by adopting best practices. By aligning to these frameworks or certifications, you automatically inherit the extensive knowledge of the security experts who defined these standards. As an organisation, you are enhancing your reputation by showing your customers and suppliers that you are committed to keeping their data secure.

4. Education – New ways in which data and systems can be disrupted continually present themselves in a world of rapidly changing technology. Our best means of defence is our people. We must educate those who access our data, to be able to recognise the new threat and attacks that may occur. People and technology are a partnership, one without the other is less effective and it is vital that we continue to develop it through education and building knowledge.

Prosperity 24/7 is committed to our investment in security and proving our credibility as a security conscious organisation. By achieving our ISO27001 certification, we have implemented a robust Data Governance framework, complemented by skilled individuals who manage it, and supported by the technical and process driven security controls protecting our organisation. This investment means we are well placed to support other organisations to do the same. Think about the most valuable asset in your life and the lengths you would go to, to protect it.  Why would you not do the same for your data?  Your organisation’s most valuable asset.

A lot can happen in 10 years of cyber security conference subject matter, which got me thinking about the technological advances of the past decade and the impact it has had on Cyber Security. What have we learned as we think about tackling these issues in the future?

Bandwidth and Introduction of 4/5G Networks

Bandwidth costs for organisations were higher in 2014, so businesses focused on ensuring bandwidth was utilised for core activities only. The introduction of fibre and 4G/5G networks was a game changer.  It was no longer prohibitive, opening up new innovative ways of connecting with others, including providing a greater reach for attackers.

Cloud Computing

The rise of cloud computing – to some extent coupled with Bandwidth and 4G/5G improvements and the Covid-19 pandemic, accelerated the need for businesses to to support remote working and therefore migrate to the cloud.  The speed of adoption was intense, with all parties including security professionals, racing to catch-up.  Boundaries blurring and governance no longer contained within a fixed perimeter created new risks.  Improvements in identity verification came higher on the agenda; and new geographical laws and regulations were introduced – all introducing new ways threat actors could exploit businesses and their workforce.

Blockchain and Cryptocurrency

an attacker’s currency of choice!  Many attackers opt to use this currency for ransomware attacks.  It provides a high degree of anonymity, creating an avenue for attackers to conduct their financial affairs associated with their attack campaigns.

AI and machine learning

has accelerated by our continuing desire to automate and innovate ensuring we are more productive and providing growth.  Microsoft CoPilot and ChatGPT have introduced a new way of working, harnessing the power of Generative AI to maximise efficiencies.  Clearly intended for the greater good, but like any new technology it can be exploited to create destruction, educating threat actors, and giving them scale and a faster pace to deploy their attacks.

Regulations & Laws

as the digital landscape has changed over the years, so has the need to regulate and impose laws to make organisations and individuals accountable.  Within the EU alone, there are five major laws which reference Cyber specifically, providing a means or recourse for hackers and organisations/individuals should they be acting outside of these laws.

And what’s next?  Will AI change the digital world in which we operate?  Will new Regulations & Laws improve our security and make us more resilient?

This chapter has yet to be written, but will no doubt have a profound impact in our digital and cyber space.

New technologies and threats should never be viewed in isolation, but they must be viewed at a holistic level, joining the dots of interconnectivity, in a bid to stay ahead of the increased level of Cyber Threats that continue to evolve.  While we have witnessed an increase in products and services in Cyber Security to aid our protection and awareness, this is compounded by the increased level of sophistication of the bad actors that are operating now and in the future.

History and experience have taught me that that nothing stands still, and we must use our own personal experiences and the experiences of others to continue to educate ourselves and to remain vigilant.

So what happened?

CrowdStrike, a US based cyber security firm, that provides cloud-based endpoint protection and threat intelligence services to a wide range of industries, release a sensor configuration update to its Falcon software which caused a malfunction in the other software that it interacts with, including Microsoft Windows.  This essentially disabled those systems, worldwide.  The updates are an ongoing part of the protection mechanisms of the Falcon platform but this time it triggered a logic error resulting in a system crash and blue screen (BSOD) on impacted systems and a cascade of failures across its infrastructure.

What was the impact?

The impact of the outage was significant, as some of their key customers included some of the largest and most sensitive organisations in the world, such as governments, banks, healthcare providers, and travel providers. According to CrowdStrike’s own estimates, the outage affected about 10% of its customer base, or roughly 1,500 organisations. Some of the reported consequences of the outage were:

• Loss of visibility and protection against cyber threats, especially ransomware and phishing attacks.
• Disruption of business operations and productivity, as some customers had to shut down their systems or switch to backup solutions.
• Damage to reputation and trust.
• Potential legal and regulatory implications, as some customers may have violated their compliance obligations or contractual agreements due to the outage.

How did CrowdStrike Respond?

The Company acknowledged the outage on its website and social media channels and provided regular updates on its status and resolution. The company also activated its incident response team and worked with its partners and vendors to restore its services as quickly as possible. According to CrowdStrike, the outage was fully resolved by Saturday 20th July, and the company conducted a root cause analysis and implemented corrective actions to prevent similar incidents in the future. CrowdStrike also apologised to its customers and offered them compensation and support.

Although the problem is now resolved, several days later, the world is still unravelling some of the issues caused such as disrupted flights, GP backlogs and banking systems.

What are the lessons learned?

Friday’s incident was deemed to be a once in decade incident but it is a reminder of the challenges of cybersecurity in the digital age and how reliant we are on an increasingly complex and connected global IT infrastructure. It highlighted some of the key lessons that must be considered when designing, implementing and maintaining a robust digital capability:

• Resilient infrastructure and processes, as well as regular testing and monitoring of the system’s performance and security.
• Clear, timely communication and coordination among all the stakeholders involved, including the service provider, the customers, and the third-party vendors.
• Contingency and recovery plans, as well as backup and alternative solutions, in case of a service disruption or failure.
• Transparency and accountability, as well as trust and collaboration, between the service provider and the customers, especially in the aftermath of an incident.

Thankfully, Prosperity 24/7 were not directly impacted by this outage and were on hand support our clients who were directly or indirectly affected with luckily, minimal impact.

Are you prepared?

Even though it was a rare incident, it does raise the question, what would you do if it happened to your organisation? Are you prepared and how would you respond?   Do you have an effective Incident Response Plan in place?

When a crisis strikes you need to know what to do next without hesitation.  Prosperity 24/7, via our partners at Arctic Wolf, can help you to achieve a level of comfort to act swiftly in these circumstances, by providing you with an effective Incident Management Response capability.

From proactive planning to containment and restoration, we can act fast to make sure you can get back on track.  77% of businesses don’t have an effective incident response plan in place.  Don’t be a statistic.
