Cyber Security Services
Don't Get Caught Out
SecureTrace Analytics exists to uncover digital truth and reduce cyber risk for businesses operating in an increasingly complex online world.
Through expert cyber security consulting, lawful OSINT investigations, and practical cyber security training, we help organisations make informed decisions, protect their people, and prevent costly mistakes, without fear-based selling or unnecessary technology.
OSINT Investigations
SecureTrace provides professional OSINT investigations to uncover digital risks, reputational concerns, and hidden threats that traditional checks often miss. Our lawful, evidence-based approach supports HR, legal, and executive decisions with confidence.
Cyber Security Training
Our cyber security training programs focus on real-world threats like phishing, ransomware, and social engineering. Training is practical, easy to understand, and designed to reduce human-risk across your organisation.
Cyber Risk Assessments & Digital Due Diligence
We deliver structured cyber risk assessments, fraud analysis, and digital due diligence to help businesses identify exposure before issues escalate into incidents, disputes, or financial loss.
Evolving Technology Risk
Internet Explorer
Although officially retired, legacy systems running Internet Explorer remain present in some corporate environments for compatibility reasons. Unsupported software introduces unpatched vulnerabilities that can be exploited without warning. Businesses still using legacy browsers should prioritise migration planning to reduce structural security exposure.
Mozilla Firefox
Firefox’s strong privacy architecture is beneficial, but inconsistent configuration across teams can create security gaps. Mismanaged add-ons, saved credentials, and developer tools exposure can unintentionally increase risk in sensitive environments. Standardised browser configuration policies are critical for organisations handling confidential information.
Google Chrome
Chrome’s extensive extension ecosystem introduces third-party risk, particularly where browser add-ons request broad permissions to read page data, credentials, or internal dashboards. Businesses should be aware that compromised or malicious extensions can bypass traditional perimeter security by operating within trusted user sessions. Regular extension audits and controlled installation policies are essential to reduce exposure.
Microsoft Outlook
Outlook remains one of the most targeted platforms for phishing, business email compromise (BEC), and invoice fraud. Attackers increasingly use AI-generated emails that bypass traditional keyword-based filters and mimic internal communication patterns. Businesses must prioritise human-risk training and multi-factor authentication to reduce exposure beyond standard spam filtering.
Android Systems
Android devices in corporate environments can introduce risk through inconsistent patching, third-party app installations, and unmanaged device policies. Personal device use (BYOD) without mobile device management (MDM) increases exposure to credential theft and malicious applications. Strong permission controls and device governance policies are critical.
TOR - Dark Web
Tor is designed for anonymity, which makes it valuable for privacy—but also attractive for malicious activity. From a corporate perspective, unauthorised Tor usage may indicate attempts to bypass monitoring controls or obscure digital behaviour. Monitoring anomalous traffic patterns is often more effective than simply blocking access.
Facebook remains a major surface for impersonation, brand abuse, and social engineering attacks targeting employees. Fraudsters often scrape public profile data to craft convincing phishing messages or executive impersonation scams. Limiting public exposure of staff information significantly reduces attack success rates.
LinkedIn is increasingly used for corporate reconnaissance. Public job listings, organisational charts, and employee details can unintentionally reveal internal systems, technology stacks, or upcoming projects. Targeted spear-phishing campaigns frequently originate from information gathered directly from LinkedIn profiles.
Instagram presents reputational and impersonation risks, particularly for executives and brands with public visibility. Fake accounts, social engineering DMs, and credential harvesting through “brand collaboration” scams are increasingly common. Businesses should monitor for account cloning and enforce multi-factor authentication across social platforms.
