Assume Breach – Jisc Security Conference
Our Senior Network Engineer Duncan Ross will be presenting at the Jisc Security Conference which runs from the 9th to 11th of November.
Duncan will be giving a presentation on the Assume Breach Strategy and how IP Performance have helped their customers’ with this approach to Cyber Security. Duncan will discuss how the strategy has been implemented with our Cyber Breach Workshop, our Swarm-SecOps security service and tools like Pentera’s Automated Security Validation platform.
So what does Assume Breach mean?
It doesn’t mean we stop trying to prevent breaches but simply means that despite the confidence we have in our defensive protections, we assume adversaries can and will find a way to penetrate security defences.
The strategy is made up of 3 core pillars War Games, Centralised logging and Monitoring and Penetration Testing.
This strategy allows defences to be seen from an attacker’s point of view and includes tests to discover and fix vulnerabilities. By taking the ‘Assume Breach’ approach, organisations are proactively putting in place technical capabilities and softer processes to ensure they can react quickly and efficiently during a cyber incident.

I just wanted to take a moment to personally thank IP Performance for all your help and guidance during our recent upgrade project. Upgrading all three of our production clusters was a huge undertaking, especially with the amount of traffic they serve and thousands of services they deliver. Achieving this with zero downtime was no small feat and your expertise and quick responses were absolutely crucial in making it happen. It really felt like you were part of our team throughout this process and were more than just providing support but indeed kind of taking ownership of all the challenges and issues we had during this migration which we couldn’t have done as smoothly without your support.
