In today’s digital-first economy, cybersecurity has moved from the boardroom now to the heart of policy makers economic […]

The weekends news has been full of the doom-mongers gurning at the AI boom or should we call it a bubble? Which got me thinkng, we have been here before have we not?

In cybersecurity and technology governance, we spend endless hours dissecting frameworks, controls and certifications. We argue over Zero Trust architectures, resilience models and assurance seals.

How to Lose a Generation (and Your Cyber Credibility) … In a move that truly showcases the digital finesse of a damp teabag, Parliament has blessed us with the UK Online Safety Act 2023, yet another stroke of cyber brilliance, mandatory age verification on adult websites.

For many organisations, investing in a new or upgraded Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform feels like a milestone, an architectural cornerstone in the cybersecurity journey.
