The digital landscape is evolving rapidly, presenting security leaders with unprecedented challenges. As threats increase in volume and complexity, exacerbated by geopolitical tensions and cyber warfare, a proactive and strategic approach to anticipate and mitigate potential attacks is crucial. At the same time, the regulatory environment is expanding in response to these growing threats. Initiatives…

The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) should embrace artificial intelligence (AI) to maintain its military advantages, which will require nurturing the country’s private AI defence sector and ensuring there is interoperability with the systems used by its allies, the Commons Defence Committee has said. In December 2023, the committee launched an inquiry examining how the…
It’s been quite the half-decade. In fact, it’s hard to know where to start when reflecting on it. The Covid-19 pandemic saw a (forced) mass shift towards hybrid working models, leaving security teams with a new and complex attack surface to secure quickly. Charges made against the CISOs of SolarWinds and Uber set a precedent…
