Business email compromise does not need dramatic malware or a shadowy figure in a basement.

Sometimes it needs an email thread, enough information to sound convincing and someone who is busy.

That is the awkward thing about modern fraud.

The better it gets, the less suspicious it looks.

Security has to account for that.

Halloween gives cybersecurity marketing its annual excuse to wheel out hooded hackers, glowing green code and the occasional skull.

Real cyber incidents are usually much less cinematic.

An ordinary email. A reused password.

A payment request that seems plausible.

A permission nobody removed.

That is precisely why they work.

The genuinely scary stuff often looks completely normal.

If you are handing work over for the October break, decide three things before you go: What access does the person covering actually need?

When should that access end?

Who will remove it?

ā€œWe’ll rememberā€ is not really a control.

ā€œCan you just give Sarah access while I’m away?ā€ is a perfectly normal request.

The problem tends to arrive three months later when Sarah still has it.

Temporary permissions are easy to grant and remarkably bad at expiring themselves.

This is where access quietly grows until nobody is entirely sure who can see what.

The Scottish October break arrives and offices get quieter.

People work different hours.

Some log in from somewhere warmer.

Others cover colleagues who are away.

None of that is inherently risky.

But changes in normal behaviour make assumptions harder.

Security should cope with people having lives.

If keeping the business safe depends on everyone sitting at their usual desk between nine and five, we have designed the wrong system.

Skip the poster about suspicious links for five minutes and ask: What is the cyber risk we already know about but keep postponing?

Every business has one.

Possibly several.

Pick one and fix it.

Awareness is considerably more useful when something changes afterwards.

Most organisations we speak to are aware of cyber risk.

Very few need us to explain that criminals send phishing emails.

The gaps tend to appear elsewhere. Old access. Weak processes.

Alerts nobody owns. Recovery plans nobody has tested.

The difference between knowing about cyber security and being prepared for an incident is larger than most awareness campaigns suggest.

October is Cyber Security Awareness Month.

Which is useful, provided cyber security does not go back in the cupboard on 1 November.

Awareness has never really been the difficult bit.

Most business owners know cyber risk exists.

The harder questions are whether anybody owns it, whether controls actually work, and whether the business knows what to do when they do not.

Awareness is the beginning. Preparedness is the useful bit.

We’ve been getting about a bit.

I’ve recently returned from South Africa, where a growing amount of Secure Nexus’ work is now coming from.

But looking at the map, it struck me just how far we’ve travelled in three years.

From Scotland, we’re now supporting clients and projects across the UK, Europe, Africa, India, Brazil and the United States.

That wasn’t some grand master plan when we started Secure Nexus. We just wanted to do good work, solve problems properly and build a business people trusted.

Apparently, that travels quite well.

Still based in Scotland. Just with a slightly longer commute these days.

We still hear employees described as the ā€œweakest linkā€ in cyber security.

I have never particularly liked that.

If one distracted person clicking the wrong thing can bring the business to its knees, the problem is bigger than the person.

People get tired. They rush. They make mistakes.

Good security is designed with that fairly predictable information in mind.
