CRIBBmas is but a day away, so here at CRIBB Cyber Security, part of theICEway ecosystem, we have decided to give you another slice of festive fun…
A couple of weeks ago we allowed our inner child to take over the blog, and they proceeded to have a little fun with a CRIBB-themed version of ‘Away in a Manger’. We had then intended to give you a rundown of the key cyber security news stories from 2019, but instead decided to look at PCI DSS Compliance, a very important area in the on-going mission to achieve cyber resilience.
So, you might be thinking that a review of the year is about to unfold before your very eyes but – in the spirit of Mr. Robot, which has just finished (more on that in the new year) – we are going to allow that aforementioned inner child another attempt to have some Christmas fun… Sorry, CRIBBmas fun!
A CRIBBmas Carolan
Morning had passed and all were in good cheer, for it was a clear day and a special time of year.
Everyone but one had a smile on their face; the only frown was worn by a man in much haste.
Resisting the urge to not be on call, a DPO to the core he always gave his all.
Ranting and raving were no friends of his, he got on with the job and allayed client’s fears.
You might say he was a hero but in truth, he was no De Niro
Choosing instead the supporting roles, ticking off cyber security goals
Helping with Cyber Essentials and C.E. Plus, as well as everything else with the minimum of fuss.
Reducing risk and improving compliance? He and CRIBB can help, they’re quite an alliance
If you have a cyber security need, they will support you and you will succeed
Spear and Whaling Phishing? They hold no fear, give us a call, our experts are here.
Threats in cruise have never been stronger, but we’ve worked in the industry for 20 years and longer
Maritime Cyber Assurance*, from CRIBB, it’s the best; cruise lines gather round, don’t settle for less
And so, Patrick smiles knowing full well, that he’s working, it’s Christmas, but all is just swell;
Sometimes it’s better to give than receive; what better time of year to realise, what a time to believe…!
