Gaps During Night/Weekend: Strengthening Business Resilience with Velvot & Sophos

Posted on by GTM Velvot

Gaps During Night/Weekend: Strengthening Business Resilience with Velvot & Sophos

In today’s hyper-connected business landscape, threats to your organization’s operations do not take breaks. Cybercriminals, system failures, and operational disruptions can strike at any time—particularly during nights and weekends when staffing and monitoring are often minimal. For many Nigerian businesses, these off-peak vulnerabilities create dangerous gaps that can result in costly downtime, data breaches, and reputational harm. Velvot Nigeria Limited, in partnership with Sophos, is committed to closing these gaps and ensuring your business stays protected around the clock.

Understanding the Risks of Off-Hour Gaps

During regular business hours, teams are actively monitoring networks, responding to incidents, and ensuring operational continuity. However, once night falls or the weekend begins, many organizations reduce their IT and security presence. This reduced vigilance creates a golden opportunity for:

  • Cyber Attacks: Hackers often time their attacks during these periods to avoid immediate detection.
  • System Failures: A server crash or network outage at midnight may remain unresolved until the next business day.
  • Ransomware Campaigns: Deliberately launched during off-hours to maximize damage before detection.
  • Compliance Risks: For regulated industries, delayed responses could lead to fines or violations.

The Cost of Ignoring Night & Weekend Gaps

The consequences of leaving your business vulnerable during nights and weekends can be severe:

  • Prolonged Downtime: Without rapid response, downtime could last hours or even days.
  • Revenue Loss: Interruptions during peak customer interactions can lead to significant financial setbacks.
  • Data Loss & Breaches: The longer an attack goes unnoticed, the more data is compromised.
  • Customer Distrust: Even short outages can damage your brand’s reputation.
  • Legal & Regulatory Penalties: Non-compliance due to slow breach detection can lead to costly repercussions.

Velvot & Sophos: Closing the Off-Hour Security Gap

We leverage the world-class security solutions of Sophos to ensure your business is protected 24/7. Sophos’ advanced threat detection, artificial intelligence-driven defenses, and centralized security management enable us to monitor, detect, and respond to threats instantly—even during nights and weekends. Our combined strategy includes:

  1. 24/7 Managed Threat Response (MTR): Sophos’ team of security experts works alongside Velvot to detect and neutralize threats in real time.
  2. Advanced Endpoint Protection: Powered by Sophos Intercept X, blocking ransomware, exploits, and malware before they cause harm.
  3. AI-Driven Threat Intelligence: Predictive analytics to identify and prevent attacks before they occur.
  4. Cloud-Based Security Management: Unified dashboards for visibility and quick action from anywhere.
  5. Automated Incident Response: Instant isolation of infected systems to prevent further spread.

Why Nigerian Businesses Cannot Delay

Nigeria’s digital economy is expanding rapidly, and with it, the threat landscape. Cybercriminals are becoming increasingly sophisticated, often targeting periods when defenses are weakest. Businesses that fail to address night and weekend gaps risk financial loss, operational disruption, and irreversible brand damage. With Velvot and Sophos, you gain a proactive shield against these ever-present dangers.

Proactive Measures for 24/7 Business Protection

Securing your business around the clock requires more than just technology—it requires a holistic strategy:

  • Continuous Monitoring: Never allowing your systems to go unobserved.
  • Regular Security Audits: Identifying and patching vulnerabilities before they are exploited.
  • Incident Response Planning: Ensuring your team knows exactly what to do in case of a breach.
  • Employee Awareness Training: Educating staff on phishing, social engineering, and password hygiene.
  • Cloud Backup & Recovery: Guaranteeing your data can be restored quickly after an incident.
 

Secure Your Business Day and Night

Threats don’t wait for business hours, and neither should your defenses. Velvot Nigeria Limited, in partnership with Sophos, offers comprehensive protection to keep your business secure 24/7. From proactive monitoring to AI-driven threat intelligence, we ensure you’re always one step ahead of attackers.

Authenticode Stuffing: A New Frontier in Malware Delivery.

Posted on by GTM Velvot

Authenticode Stuffing: Emerging Cybersecurity Threat

Cybersecurity experts have uncovered a concerning trend in malware distribution: the misuse of trusted software installers through a technique known as Authenticode stuffing. This sophisticated method manipulates legitimate, digitally signed installers to bypass traditional antivirus defenses.

How the Technique Works

Hackers exploit legitimate ConnectWise Screen Connect installers, inserting malicious configurations into the certificate table while keeping the original file signature intact. This deceptive modification allows the installer to retain its trusted status, effectively slipping past many security controls.

Real-World Exploits

According to cybersecurity firm G DATA, this method has been spotted in phishing campaigns delivering malicious documents. These documents execute trojanized versions of Screen Connect that display fake Windows Update screens, masking unauthorized remote access. The malicious variants have been dubbed:

  • Win32.Backdoor.EvilConwi
  • Win32.Riskware.SilentConwi

A similar exploit has also targeted SonicWall’s Net Extender VPN installer, enabling attackers to steal credentials from unsuspecting users. These tactics highlight a dangerous shift in cybercrime, where trusted, signed binaries are weaponized for stealthy malware delivery.

Why It Matters

The use of trusted, digitally signed binaries makes detection by signature-based antivirus increasingly unreliable. Organizations that fail to adapt risk falling prey to highly effective and difficult-to-detect attacks.

Recommended Security Measures

To counter this growing threat, security professionals should:

  • Thoroughly inspect configuration data embedded in signed binaries.
  • Limit the use of remote access tools whenever possible.
  • Adopt layered defenses beyond signature-based antivirus.
  • Continuously monitor for abnormal activity within IT environments.

 

Stay Ahead of Advanced Threats

As cyber threats evolve, organizations must strengthen their defenses against increasingly subtle malware deployment tactics. For proactive cybersecurity solutions and expert consulting, partner with Velvot Nigeria Limited.

Urgent Cybersecurity Alert: Tool Shell Exploit Targets On-Premises SharePoint Servers

Posted on by GTM Velvot
Sophos MDR Security Alert – Velvot Nigeria Limited

Sophos MDR Security Alert

Announcement Date: July 18, 2025

On July 18, 2025, Sophos’ Managed Detection and Response (MDR) team detected a significant wave of malicious activities targeting on-premises Microsoft SharePoint environments. These activities involved the deployment of harmful PowerShell commands across numerous systems, indicating a coordinated exploit effort leveraging a newly identified toolset referred to as ‘Tool Shell.’

Initial Findings

Initial investigations traced the earliest known activity back to July 17, 2025. Tool Shell comprises a chained exploitation of two critical SharePoint vulnerabilities— CVE-2025-49704 and CVE-2025-49706—first demonstrated during the Pwn2Own cybersecurity event in Berlin in May 2025. Microsoft addressed both vulnerabilities in their July Patch Tuesday updates.

Zero-Day Exploits

What makes this situation particularly urgent is the emergence of two new vulnerabilities, CVE-2025-53770 and CVE-2025-53771, which are currently being exploited in the wild as part of an active zero-day attack campaign.

This means threat actors are not only taking advantage of previously known flaws but are also exploiting fresh weaknesses for which protections may not yet be fully deployed across affected infrastructures.

Impact & Recommendations

Sophos MDR has reached out to all identified victims of these attacks. Given the active nature of the exploit and the confirmed use of a zero-day, organizations using on-premises SharePoint servers are strongly advised to apply Microsoft’s latest security patches without delay.

Notably, SharePoint Online services hosted on Microsoft 365 are not affected by this campaign.

Action Required

Velvot Nigeria Limited urges all clients and IT administrators to assess their SharePoint infrastructure immediately and implement all necessary updates and monitoring practices to reduce exposure.

Staying ahead of evolving threats requires a proactive approach—don’t wait for a breach to act.

Fortinet Advances Quantum-Safe Communications to Combat Emerging Cyber Threats

Posted on by GTM Velvot

Quantum-Safe Cybersecurity with Fortinet

As the digital era continues to evolve at breakneck speed, quantum computing is fast emerging as the next frontier of innovation. By harnessing the bizarre yet powerful principles of quantum mechanics, quantum computers promise to solve complex problems in seconds—problems that would take even today’s most advanced supercomputers thousands of years to crack. This paradigm shift holds extraordinary potential across industries such as pharmaceuticals, financial modelling, materials science, and artificial intelligence.


However, with every great innovation comes equally significant challenges—especially in the realm of cybersecurity. Quantum computing, while still in its early stages, poses a very real and pressing threat to the foundation of modern digital security. Today’s cryptographic standards, such as RSA and ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography), which safeguard everything from online banking to classified government files, are built on mathematical problems that are difficult for classical computers to solve. But with the advent of quantum computing, these algorithms could be rendered obsolete overnight.


One alarming tactic already being deployed by cybercriminals is known as “harvest now, decrypt later”. Bad actors are collecting and storing encrypted information now, in anticipation of future breakthroughs in quantum processing. Once quantum computers reach sufficient power, this data could be decrypted—exposing sensitive financial records, intellectual property, personal identities, and even national secrets. This looming threat has made it clear that organizations can no longer rely solely on traditional cybersecurity frameworks.


Enter quantum-safe communication technologies. Also known as post-quantum cryptography (PQC), these solutions are being developed specifically to withstand the unprecedented computing power of quantum systems. Designed to be secure even against future quantum attacks, they offer a path toward sustainable cybersecurity in an unpredictable future.


At the forefront of this transformation is Fortinet, a globally recognized leader in network security and threat intelligence. Fortinet is taking proactive measures by embedding quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms into its core operating system, FortiOS. This move signals a shift from reactive to pre-emptive cybersecurity—ensuring that businesses can protect themselves not only from today’s threats but also from those on the horizon.


Through its integrated security platform, Fortinet offers end-to-end protection that encompasses firewalls, secure SD-WAN, zero-trust access, endpoint security, and more—all now fortified with quantum-safe encryption capabilities. These enhancements position Fortinet as a visionary ally for organizations striving to remain compliant, competitive, and secure in a world of ever-escalating cyber risks.


Whether you are running a small business, managing a financial institution, operating a health system, or securing national infrastructure, the need for quantum-safe preparedness is no longer a matter of “if” but “when”. By investing in quantum-resilient infrastructure now, businesses can ensure that their data remains protected decades into the future, no matter how the technology landscape evolves.

How to Choose the Right Processes to Automate First

With so many possible use cases, one of the biggest questions we hear from business leaders is:

“Where do I even start with automation?”

The answer isn’t “everywhere” it’s strategically.


Not all processes are ready for automation, and automating the wrong ones can backfire. Let’s walk through a simple, effective framework to help you prioritize automation efforts and see quick wins.

Start with the ‘Low-Hanging Fruit’

Before you attempt to automate complex decision-making or interdepartmental workflows, look for tasks that are:

  • Repetitive
  • Rule-based
  • Time-consuming
  • Low risk if something goes wrong

These are prime candidates because they deliver fast ROI and require minimal disruption to current operations.

5 Criteria for Selecting the Right Processes to Automate First

1. Frequency

How often is the task performed? A daily or weekly task provides more value over time than one performed once a year.

Example: Sending welcome emails to new customers.

2. Volume

Does this task affect a lot of people or involve large amounts of data?

Example: Generating monthly invoices for 500 clients.

3. Standardization

Is the process predictable and rules-driven, or does it require human judgment?

Automate: Updating CRM records
Don’t (yet): Writing custom proposals.

4. Impact on Business Goals

Will automating this process improve efficiency, reduce costs, or enhance customer experience?

Example: Automating complaint handling workflows in customer service.

5. Current Pain Point

Is this task already a bottleneck or causing errors?

Example: Manual inventory updates leading to overselling or stockouts.

Signs It’s Time to Modernize Your Legacy Software — and What to Do Next

Posted on by GTM Velvot

Signs It’s Time to Modernize Your Legacy Software — and What to Do Next

A mid-sized microfinance bank in Lagos delayed upgrading its core system for over five years. Initially, they saved ₦8 million in upgrade costs  but in 2023, a ransomware attack exploited a vulnerability in their outdated software. It took 3 weeks to recover data and operations, costing the bank over ₦70 million in lost revenue, recovery fees, and fines.

The real cost? Customer confidence dropped. They lost 12% of their client base within 6 months.

Legacy systems don’t fail all at once. They fade slowly, quietly eroding your business performance until something critical breaks. The challenge is knowing when to act.

Here’s how to recognize the warning signs and take action before outdated software hurts your bottom line.

How Do You Know Your System Is Outdated?

Sometimes, the signs are subtle but their effects are damaging. If you check more than 2–3 items on this list, your business is likely being slowed down by legacy tech:

 1. Frequent System Crashes or Errors

Outdated platforms can’t keep up with modern processing demands, leading to instability, glitches, and frustrating downtime.

 2. Poor Integration Capabilities

If your accounting system can’t speak to your CRM, or your inventory doesn’t sync with your online store, you’re wasting hours manually moving data.

 3. Lack of Mobile Access or Cloud Compatibility

Modern workforces  and clients  demand mobility. If your system isn’t accessible from anywhere, you’re stuck in a local-only world.

 4. Increasing IT Support and Maintenance Costs

Are you constantly calling in specialists just to keep things running? Legacy tech becomes more expensive to maintain over time.

 5. Losing Competitive Advantage

Competitors are offering faster service, better insights, or personalized customer experiences. You know your tech can’t keep up.

 

What Happens If You Delay Modernization?

  • You may miss growth opportunities
  • Security vulnerabilities go unpatched
  • Employee morale suffers
  • Customer experience declines

Over time, the cost of inaction far exceeds the cost of transition.

What to Do Next: A Simple Game Plan

  1. Conduct a Technology Audit
    • Identify which systems are outdated, unsupported, or inefficient.
  2. Map Your Business Processes
    • Understand how your teams work today so your new systems can enhance “not disrupt” workflow.
  3. Prioritize Based on Risk and Impact
    • Start with the systems that affect customer experience or revenue directly.
  4. Choose the Right Modern Platforms
    • Opt for secure, cloud-based, scalable platforms with strong support ecosystems.
  5. Find a Trusted Partner
    • Migration is smoother and faster with a professional team guiding the process.
